COPENHAGEN, Denmark—In a phase 1b study patients with previously untreated stage IV pancreatic cancer responded or derived “clinical benefit” from a regimen in which a Wnt-signaling inhibitor—the humanized monoclonal antibody vantictumab—was added to nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine chemotherapy. Colin Weekes MD PhD, Associate Professor at the University of Colorado in Denver, who reported findings from the trial at the 2016 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) congress, discusses their clinical implications with Peter Goodwin. Debashis Sarker MD FRCP, Senior Lecturer and Consultant in Medical Oncology, at Guy’s, St Thomas’ and King’s College Hospitals, London, who was not involved with the study.
