Study Summary

This trial is testing a combination of two drugs to treat pancreatic cancer. The drugs will be given to patients with cancer that has spread and who have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and works better than other treatments.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with stage IV pancreatic adenocarcinoma that has spread and is resistant to certain chemotherapies. They must have measurable disease, be in good physical condition (ECOG ≤1), and recovered from previous treatments' side effects. Participants need functioning organs/marrow, can't be pregnant or breastfeeding, must use contraception, and not have had specific prior treatments like cabozantinib or immune therapies.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests a combination of Cabozantinib + Atezolizumab for metastatic pancreatic cancer patients who haven't responded to standard treatments. It measures how well the treatment works (response rate), controls the disease, extends life without progression, overall survival time, safety/tolerability and examines immune changes before/after treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include liver problems, high blood pressure, fatigue, mouth sores; hand-foot syndrome; diarrhea; decreased appetite; nausea; vomiting; weight loss; voice changes or hoarseness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen tell your doctor promptly.
