Pamrevlumab targeted the scar-like tissue around pancreatic tumours; its phase 3 LAPIS trial in locally advanced disease did not lengthen survival.
FibroGen developed pamrevlumab for fibrotic diseases and for pancreatic cancer, where connective tissue growth factor helps build the stroma that shields tumour cells. A phase 1/2 study suggested more patients could reach surgery.
The phase 3 LAPIS trial in locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer, combined with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel or FOLFIRINOX, did not meet its overall survival endpoint, reported in 2024. A metastatic arm within the Precision Promise platform trial was also stopped for futility, ending the programme.
Binds connective tissue growth factor, a driver of the dense fibrous stroma that surrounds pancreatic tumours, aiming to make them more resectable and more permeable to chemotherapy.
