The HUF pancreatic cancer group is currently participating in the TRIPP-FFX trial: FOLFIRINOX versus OncoSil™ in addition to FOLFIRINOX for patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. This is an open-label, multicenter, randomized trial of intratumoral targeted therapy of P-32 (OncoSil™) associated with FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy compared to FOLFIRINOX alone in patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OncoSil™ when administered in addition to standard FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
