  • Appraise the rationale for available/emerging data for the use of novel chemotherapy platforms, PARP inhibitors, immunotherapy (and immunotherapy-based combinations), stroma-targeting agents, and tumor treating fields therapy (TTFields), and others for pancreatic cancer
  • Manage disease-related and treatment-related symptoms for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer
  • Identify patients suitable for enrollment on ongoing clinical studies of emerging investigational agents and treatment strategies in advanced pancreatic cancer
