Study Summary
This trial is testing a combination of two drugs to treat patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The first drug, binimetinib, works by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. The second drug, hydroxychloroquine, may prevent a process called autophagy, where cells destroy proteins and other substances. Autophagy may protect tumor cells by destroying anticancer drugs or substances taken up by them. Giving hydroxychloroquine together with binimetinib may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer compared to binimetinib alone.
