Safi Shahda, MD, assistant professor of Clinical Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine, discusses a phase Ib study looking at a combination of BBI-608, gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). Shahda says so far, 8 patients from the study have been reported on in terms of efficacy and 18 patients have been reported on in terms of safety. He adds that the combination thus far appears to be tolerable with manageable toxicities.
