Chemo plus anakinra for pancreatic cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding anakinra (an immune signal blocker) to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes for some people with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. It’s mainly for adults with stage I–III disease who have enough organ function and are able to come in for treatment and follow-up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your pancreatic cancer is confirmed as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (or a mixed type where most cells are ductal)
- Your cancer is stage I, II, or III (not stage IV)
- Your overall strength/activity level is good (ECOG 0–1)
- Your blood counts and organs work well enough (enough white cells, platelets, hemoglobin; plus kidney and liver tests within limits)
- You can take part in treatment and follow-up, and you understand and sign the consent form

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new targeted drug called sotorasib combined with standard chemotherapy for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific KRAS G12C mutation. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) combined with a standard chemotherapy cocktail (NALIRIFOX) for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks or controls the cancer better than chemo alone.
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (AG) plus an immunotherapy (cadonilimab) and a short course of radiation for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink or control the tumor.
This Phase 2 trial tests a chemotherapy plan given before surgery (called “neoadjuvant” treatment) for people with pancreatic adenocarcinoma that looks resectable or borderline resectable on scans. The goal is to see how well this adaptive chemotherapy approach works and whether it can improve outcomes before an operation.
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a new medicine (IN10018) and a specific added antibody (KN046) together with standard chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer. It aims to see whether this combination can better control the cancer and how safely it can be given.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding two study medicines (an immune-based vaccine treatment plus atezolizumab) to standard chemo helps prevent pancreatic cancer from coming back after surgery. It compares the combination against standard chemo alone, looking at safety and how well it prevents relapse.
