Hydroxychloroquine and Chlorphenesin Carbamate in Combination With mFOLFIRINOX in Pancreatic Cancer

Sponsor: Changhoon Yoo

Summary

Pancreatic cancer is the 8th most prevalent cancer in Korea, and its 5-year overall survival rate has shown less than 10% due to its dismal prognosis. To date, the only curative treatment of pancreatic cancer is surgical resection. However, about 60% of patients with pancreatic cancer have been diagnosed as a locally advanced unresectable or metastatic disease at diagnosis owning to its difficulty in the early detection of cancer. The 5-year survival rate has been reported to be less than 25% even with surgical resection. Considering the high rate of metastasis and recurrence, systemic chemotherapy is essential to prolong survival. Therefore, Using AI platforms of RAPTOR (RNA expression-based Anti-symmetrical Pairing Tool for On-demand Response) and ReDRUG (Restoration using the drug for targeting unbalanced gene) developed by Oncocross, Chlorphenesin carbamate, and Hydroxychloroquine were discovered as candidate drugs having anti-metastatic effects. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine and chlorphenesin carbamate in combination with mFOLFIRINOX in patients with inoperable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
