A Study Comparing Whole-Body Heat Treatment Plus Systemic Therapy to Systemic Therapy Alone, for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (MATTERS-2)

14. července 2026 aktualizováno: ElmediX

A Multi-Centric, Randomized, Pivotal Study, Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of Whole-Body Hyperthermia Alongside Standard Systemic Anticancer Therapy in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer After Failure of First Line Treatment.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is associated with poor prognosis and limited treatment options following failure of first-line therapy. Whole-body hyperthermia (WBHT) is a non-invasive treatment approach that raises the body's core temperature under controlled conditions and may enhance the effects of anticancer therapies through multiple biological mechanisms, including improved drug delivery, modulation of the immune response, and increased sensitivity to treatment.

The MATTERS-2 study is a multicentre, randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of WBHT in combination with standard systemic anticancer therapy in patients with metastatic PDAC after failure of first-line treatment. Participants will receive either standard systemic therapy alone or standard systemic therapy combined with WBHT.

The primary objective of the study is to determine whether the addition of WBHT improves clinical outcomes compared with standard therapy alone in terms of overall survival (OS) while maintaining safety. Secondary objectives include other clinical outcomes such as progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR) and objective response rate (ORR). Further, quality of life assessments (QoL) and exploratory biomarker analyses will also be performed.
