Study Summary

This trial is testing a new combination of drugs for pancreatic cancer patients who have already tried other treatments. The new combination includes aldoxorubicin, N-803, and PD-L1 t-haNK, and the goal is to find out if it is more effective and has fewer side effects than the current standard of care.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer who've had certain treatments and have specific responses can join. They must be able to follow the study plan, agree to use contraception, and not have other serious health issues or recent participation in other drug studies.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if adding aldoxorubicin HCl, N-803, and PD-L1 t-haNK to standard chemotherapy works better for treating pancreatic cancer. It's an open-label phase 2 study with three separate groups based on previous treatment response.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to immune system activation (like inflammation), typical chemotherapy effects such as nausea, fatigue, hair loss, blood cell count changes, and potential infusion-related reactions.
