Clinical Trials Jennifer B. Valerin is currently running
Durvalumab + Olaparib with Radiation
for Pancreatic Cancer
This phase I trial tests the safety and tolerability of olaparib in combination with durvalumab and radiation therapy in patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. The combination of targeted therapy with olaparib, immunotherapy with durvalumab and radiation therapy may stimulate an anti-tumor immune response and promote tumor control in locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer.

Sunitinib + Lutathera
for Pancreatic Cancer
This trial tests a combination of two treatments for patients with pancreatic tumors that can't be removed by surgery. One drug stops cancer cells from growing, and the other delivers radiation directly to the cancer cells to kill them. The goal is to find the safest and most effective dose.
