Phase I/IIa Study: RR001 Administered Following Chemotherapy Cycles for Patients With Locally Advanced Pancreatic Carcinoma

This study is intended for people diagnosed with locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Currently, surgical resection is the only treatment that offers a chance to cure this type of tumor, but only a few percentage of locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients is able to benefit from this approach. Thus, research is aimed at identifying new treatment strategies based on innovative approaches that can increase the number of people who can access surgery as radically as possible. The SNIPER study aims to evaluate for the first time in humans the applicability and safety of a new drug (called RR001) based on autologous cells, that are, cells taken from the same subject who receives them. These cells are derived from adipose tissue and are genetically modified to deliver a potent anti-cancer death ligand normally produced by the body with the role to kill tumoral cells.
