Summary

This trial is testing a new treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The treatment involves injecting a medication called mitazalimab directly into the tumor during surgery. This method of delivery may be more effective

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with locally advanced pancreatic cancer who are eligible for a procedure called IRE. The study aims to test the safety and effectiveness of injecting a drug directly into the tumor during this procedure.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing mitazalimab, an immune-stimulating antibody, given by direct injection into the tumor at the time of IRE surgery. It's compared with just having IRE (also known as NanoKnife), which uses electrical currents to destroy cancer cells.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions from immunotherapy such as flu-like symptoms, fatigue, fever, and possible local reactions at the injection site. Since it's injected directly into the tumor, systemic side effects might be reduced.
