Durvalumab and Tremelimumab in Combination With Propranolol and Chemotherapy for Treatment of Advanced Hepatopancreabiliary Tumors (BLOCKED) (NCT05451043)
A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Propranolol in Boosting Immunotherapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Cholangiocarcinoma and Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
A single-arm, interventional study combining Immunotherapy and propranolol with/without chemotherapy and propranolol 1. Pancreatic Cancer Durvalumab will be administered once every 4 weeks, in combination with gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel (day 1/8/15) and continuous propranolol.
