Positive Follow-Up Data from Ph 2 Trial Shows Extended Long-Term OS Benefit with Elraglusib + Chemo for Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
“Metastatic pancreatic cancer remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat, with few effective first-line options,” said Dan Schmitt, Chief Executive Officer of Actuate Therapeutics. “In this randomized Phase 2 study, the addition of elraglusib to gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel resulted in a meaningful improvement in overall survival compared with chemotherapy alone. As of November 2025, seventeen patients are still alive in the elraglusib/GnP arm, and three of them have remarkably passed the 24-month mark on first-line treatment, while no patients remain on GnP treatment alone. Current patient survival for metastatic pancreatic cancer is less than 12 months, so our findings are especially encouraging. We look forward to building from this data and continuing to advance elraglusib for patients with this devastating disease.”
