Study Summary

This trial is testing a new combination therapy for pancreatic, lung, and colon cancers that have spread and become resistant to treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced pancreatic, non-small cell lung cancer or mismatch repair deficient colorectal cancer that's resistant to treatment. Participants must have a good performance status, measurable disease, and meet specific blood criteria. They should not be pregnant and must agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests danvatirsen (which blocks proteins needed for tumor growth) combined with durvalumab (an immunotherapy antibody). It aims to see if this combo is more effective in treating these cancers compared to current standards.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune system reactions that can affect organs, infusion-related responses, allergic reactions similar to other monoclonal antibodies, and possibly worsening of pre-existing autoimmune diseases.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are people currently being recruited for this experiment?

"Currently, this study is not enrolling new patients. It was originally posted on March 2nd 2017 but the most recent update occurred on October 20th 2022. If you are interested in other trials, there are 5671 clinical trials for carcinoma and 338 trials involving Durvalumab that are still recruiting participants."

Answered by AI

What is the total number of participants for this research project?

"Unfortunately, this clinical study is not currently looking for more patients. The trial was opened on March 2nd, 2017 and has not recruited since October 20th, 2022. However, there are 5671 other trials for carcinoma that are open and 338 studies concerning Durvalumab that are actively enrolling participants."

Answered by AI

What are the possible dangers associated with taking Durvalumab?

"Durvalumab's safety was given a 2 because, while there is some data supporting its safety, there is no evidence that it is an effective medication."

Answered by AI

What are the most similar investigations to Durvalumab?

"Durvalumab is being trialed in 338 studies, with the majority of these trials (51) being Phase 3. Most of these clinical trials are based out of Cordoba, Texas; however, there are 12905 different locations running Durvalumab trials."

Answered by AI

What are the common treatments that include Durvalumab?

"Durvalumab is indicated for the treatment of unresectable stage iii non-small cell lung cancer. In some cases, it may also be used to treat metastatic ureter urothelial carcinoma and advance directives."
