NCT ID: NCT07319910

Last Updated: 2026-01-06

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: TEMPORARILY_NOT_AVAILABLE
• Study Classification: EXPANDED_ACCESS

Brief Summary

The EF-54 program (PANOVA-3CA) is a continued access program for adults with locally advanced pancreatic cancer to access TTFields therapy in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. The purpose of the program is to allow eligible patients to have access to TTFields while the NovoTTF-200T system is under FDA review. Safety and device performance will be monitored during routine clinical care.

Detailed Description

This is a non-comparative continued access program. All enrolled patients who meet eligibility criteria will receive TTFields with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel.

Eligible patients are ≥22 years old, have histologically or cytologically confirmed de novo pancreatic adenocarcinoma not amenable to surgical resection and without evidence of distant metastases, an ECOG performance status of 0-2, and are candidates for gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy.

Patients will continue TTFields therapy in combination with chemotherapy according to the treating physician's and site's local standard of care until local disease progression is identified. After discontinuation, subsequent care and follow-up are per treating physician's and site's local standard. There is no protocol defined post-treatment assessments mandated.
