9-ING-41 Combined With Retifanlimab, Plus Modified FOLFIRINOX for Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (RiLEY) (NCT06896188)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This is a study of the combination of 9 ING-41 (elraglusib) and retifanlimab plus mFOLFIRINOX in patients with pancreatic cancer without prior systemic therapy for advanced disease. The safety lead-in cohort will consist of 6 patients, followed by dose de-escalation if necessary, based on safety assessments. After evaluating the safety and tolerability at the initial dose level, the study will proceed to an expansion cohort at the determined safe dose level, with the total maximum enrollment not exceeding 12 patients for the entire study.
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (21 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (26 items).

📋 "Do I Qualify?" — 1-Minute Self Screener
Instant ChecklistCheck every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).
Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:
- Exclusion Criteria:
- Is pregnant or lactating.
- Is known to be hypersensitive to any of the components or metabolites of 9-ING-41 or to the excipients used in its formulation, or known sensitivity to one of the chemotherapeutic agents or to the PD-1 inhibitor.
- History of receiving prior treatment with any anti-PD-1, PD-L1 or PD-L2 agent.
- Has endocrine or acinar pancreatic carcinoma.
- Has not recovered from clinically significant toxicities as a result of prior anticancer therapy, except alopecia, anemia not requiring transfusion support and infertility. Recovery is defined as ≤ Grade 1 or baseline severity per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0 (v5.0).
- Has significant cardiovascular impairment: history of congestive heart failure greater than New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II, unstable angina, or stroke within 6 months of the first dose of 9-ING-41, or cardiac arrhythmia requiring medical treatment detected at screening.
- Has had a myocardial infarction within 12 weeks of the first dose of 9-ING-41 or has electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities that are deemed medically relevant by the treating investigator or PI.
- Has symptomatic rapidly progressive brain metastases or leptomeningeal involvement as assessed by computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patients with stable brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease or slowly progressive disease are eligible provided that they have not required new treatments for this disease in a 28-day period before the first dose of study drug, and anticonvulsants and steroids are at a stable dose for a period of 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
- Has had major surgery (not including placement of central lines) within 7 days prior to study entry or is planned to have major surgery during the course of the study (major surgery may be defined as any invasive operative procedure in which an extensive resection is performed, e.g., a body cavity is entered, organs are removed, or normal anatomy is altered). In general, if a mesenchymal barrier is opened (pleural cavity, peritoneum, meninges), the surgery is considered major.
- Has any medical and/or social condition that, in the opinion of the investigator would preclude study participation.
- Has received an investigational anti-cancer drug in the 14-day period before the first dose of study drug (or within 5 half-lives if longer) or is currently participating in another interventional clinical trial.
