Gemcitabine, Nab-paclitaxel and KPT-330 in Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This partially randomized phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of selinexor when given together with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel, and to see how well they work in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as selinexor, gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

• Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute
