VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group  -  Since September 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has seen new treatments for pancreatic cancer that are worthy of further investigation or approval. Known as one of the deadliest cancers on earth, analysis published in The Lancet in April 2023 showed a rising incidence of pancreatic cancer among individuals younger than 55 years, further demonstrating a need for more treatments. Among the treatments in development that caught the eye of the FDA over the past year are those that have come from  Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), Pyxis Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ: PYXS), AstraZeneca PLC (NASDAQ: AZN), Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY), and Merus N.V. (NASDAQ: MRUS).

Key Points: 
  • A lot of the main efforts in fighting this particular cancer are in line with the work of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN).
  • They've been asking supporters from every state in the US to get in touch with Congress to boost federal funds for pancreatic cancer research.
  • Near the end of 2022, the FDA rewarded pelareorep with a Fast Track Designation (FTD) for treating advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
  • Out of the 13 patients checked, one had a complete response - something that doesn't happen often when treating pancreatic cancer.
