About the trial

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and how well giving selumetinib with trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201a) works for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced), that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Selumetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. DS-8201a is in a class of medications called antibody-drug conjugates. It is composed of a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called deruxtecan. Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers deruxtecan to kill them. Giving selumetinib with DS-8201a may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with advanced, unresectable or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
