Certepetide Phase 1b/2a Continuous Infusion Trial in mPDAC
A Phase 1b/2a, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Three Arm, Randomized Study Evaluating a Single Intravenous Push Followed by a Continuous Infusion of Certepetide Over 4 Hours When Added to Standard of Care (SoC) Versus Two Intravenous Pushes of Certepetide When Added to SoC, Versus SoC Alone in Subjects With Previously Untreated Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (FORTIFIDE)

Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new drug plus standard treatment compared with standard treatment alone in people with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: * is the new drug plus standard treatment safe and tolerable * is the new drug plus standard treatment more effective than standard treatment Participants will: * Visit the clinic three times every 28 days for treatment and tests * Have CT or MRI scans every 8 weeks while on treatment
