Trial Outcomes & Findings for Siltuximab and Spartalizumab in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer (NCT NCT04191421)

NCT ID: NCT04191421

Last Updated: 2025-08-22

Results Overview

Maximal tolerated dose (MTD )is defined as the dose at which less than one-third of the subjects experience a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in the first 6 weeks of treatment. A DLT is defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value assessed as definitely at least possibly related to study treatment treatment related that occurs within the first 6 weeks. National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.03 will be used for all grading.
