Trifluridine/tipiracil-bevacizumab is a standard of care in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) after chemotherapy failure. We aim to assess the addition of XB2001 (anti-IL-1 alpha monoclonal antibody) plus trifluridine/tipiracil-bevacizumab in mCRC refractory to standard chemotherapy. This multicenter, randomized, double blind, non-comparative Phase I-II study (ClinicalTrials.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a poor prognosis. The POLO trial showed that olaparib (PARP inhibitor) improved progression-free survival (PFS) but not overall survival (OS), when used as maintenance therapy after ≥ 16 weeks of disease control with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with germline (g) BRCA 1 or 2 pathogenic variants (PV) metastatic PDAC. However, real-world data on the effectiveness of olaparib are missing.
