flag HutchMED launches Phase III trial in China testing a four-drug combo as first-line treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer, comparing it to standard therapy.

flag HUTCHMED has started the Phase III stage of a trial testing a four-drug combination—surufatinib, camrelizumab, nab-paclitaxel, and gemcitabine—as a first-line treatment for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in China. flag The trial, which began enrolling patients in December 2025, plans to include about 400 treatment-naïve patients and compares the combination to standard nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine therapy. flag The primary goal is overall survival, with secondary endpoints including progression-free survival and safety. flag Earlier Phase II results showed improved progression-free survival and response rates, though overall survival data remain immature. flag The combination had a manageable safety profile despite more severe side effects. flag The trial is open-label and multicenter, with results expected to inform future treatment standards for this aggressive cancer.
