Lilly’s pancreatic cancer treatment fails late-stage study
The trial evaluated Lilly's pegilodecakin plus Folfox, which is a combination of chemotherapy drugs, compared to Folfox alone in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer
Eli Lilly said its experimental pancreatic cancer treatment in combination with a cocktail of chemotherapies did not meet the main goal in a late-stage study.
The trial evaluated Lilly’s pegilodecakin plus Folfox, which is a combination of chemotherapy drugs, compared to Folfox alone in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Lilly gained access to pegilodecakin with its $1.6 billion acquisition of Armo Biosciences.
