We saw some disappointing results from Infinity Pharmaceutical’s latest Phase II trial of IPI-926 and the resulting cancellation of the program.
A recent study also showed that women who had been taking metformin for diabetes had a reduced incidence of pancreatic cancer.
Researchers at the University of Michigan demonstrated that by inhibiting KRAS (the gene associated with the start of pancreatic cancer), pancreatic tumor growth could be stopped and reversed.
