New drug doubles 1-year survival in pancreatic cancer trial
medicalxpress - Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers and among the hardest to treat, with most patients surviving less than a year after diagnosis. But a new drug developed at Northwestern University may soon help patients live longer.
AI Summary: A Phase 3 study showed a novel agent markedly lengthened survival for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer, roughly doubling one-year survival versus standard care. The results, from the RASolute 302 program evaluating daraxonrasib/Revolution Medicines’ approach, represent an uncommon advance in a stubbornly lethal disease and could change treatment standards pending regulatory review.
