About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ivonescimab, a bispecific antibody targeting PD-1 and VEGF, in combination with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and chemotherapy for treating locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). The Phase Ib portion is a dose-escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), and the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of Ivonescimab. The Phase II portion will assess the median progression-free survival (mPFS) of patients receiving Ivonescimab with SBRT (25-50Gy/5F) and modified FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy. The study aims to provide critical insights into treatment options for LAPC and inform future therapeutic strategies.
