Hydroxychloroquine and Chlorphenesin Carbamate in Combination With mFOLFIRINOX in Pancreatic Cancer
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Chlorphenesin Carbamate, Hydroxychloroquine: In addition to the mFOLFIRINOX therapy(backbone therapy), chlorphenesin carbamate 250 mg, and hydroxychloroquine 200 mg will be administered orally twice daily for up to 48 weeks.
Study summary
Pancreatic cancer is the 8th most prevalent cancer in Korea, and its 5-year overall survival rate has shown less than 10% due to its dismal prognosis. To date, the only curative treatment of pancreatic cancer is surgical resection. However, about 60% of patients with pancreatic cancer have been diagnosed as a locally advanced unresectable or metastatic disease at diagnosis owning to its difficulty in the early detection of cancer. The 5-year survival rate has been reported to be less than 25% even with surgical resection. Considering the high rate of metastasis and recurrence, systemic chemotherapy is essential to prolong survival. Therefore, Using AI platforms of RAPTOR (RNA expression-based Anti-symmetrical Pairing Tool for On-demand Response) and ReDRUG (Restoration using the drug for targeting unbalanced gene) developed by Oncocross, Chlorphenesin carbamate, and Hydroxychloroquine were discovered as candidate drugs having anti-metastatic effects.
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine and chlorphenesin carbamate in combination with mFOLFIRINOX in patients with inoperable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
