Novocure enters clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Verastem Oncology to evaluate TTFields therapy, chemo and VS-7375 to treat pancreatic cancer
“Meaningful progress has been made in the treatment of pancreatic cancer and we are proud that Tumor Treating Fields therapy is one of the new options available to patients. However, advanced pancreatic cancer remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat,” said Uri Weinberg, MD, PhD, Chief Medical and Innovation Officer, Novocure. “Based on results we observed in pre-clinical models, we believe that the physical modality of Tumor Treating Fields therapy used together with a KRAS inhibitor has the potential to be an effective new treatment approach in pancreatic cancer. Through our collaboration with Verastem Oncology, we will evaluate the use of Tumor Treating Fields therapy, chemotherapy and VS-7375, an oral KRAS G12D (ON/OFF) inhibitor, as a novel treatment approach for patients with this challenging cancer.”
