Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Defined from the date of study entry to the earliest date of progressive disease while receiving complete therapy with FOLFIRINOX-based therapy or death due to any cause. PFS will be censored at the date of last follow-up for patients alive without documented progression. PFS curves will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared to historical controls treated with FOLFIRINOX alone using the one-sample log-rank test.
Date of study entry to the earliest date of progressive disease up to 30 months
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Overall survival (OS)
Up to 30 months
Median time of maintenance therapy (mMT):
Up to 30 months
Objective Response Rate
Up to 30 months
Study Arms (5)

- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected participants on effective anti-retroviral therapy within 6 months are eligible for this trial.
- +9 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Any prior chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, biologic ('targeted') therapy or investigational therapy for pancreas adenocarcinoma. No prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy for localized pancreatic adenocarcinoma is allowed.
- Patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline or somatic BRCA-mutated pancreatic cancer.
- Patients with TRK (tropomyosin receptor kinase) fusion-positive cancers.
- Patients with deficient mismatch/microsatellite unstable or high tumor mutation burden cancers.
- Major surgery, excluding laparoscopy, within 4 weeks of the start of study treatment, without complete recovery
- Participation in any investigational drug study within 4 weeks preceding the start of study treatment.
- Participants who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities \> Grade 1) with the exception of alopecia.
- The investigator(s) must state a medical or scientific reason if participants who have brain metastases will be excluded from the study.
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical composition to 9-ING-41, losartan, 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan and oxaliplatin not amenable to institutional chemotherapy desensitization protocol. Prior topical fluoropyrimidine use is allowed.
- Patients with cardiac ventricular arrhythmias requiring antiarrhythmic therapy, or atrioventricular heart block (due to 5FU administration)
- Known, existing uncontrolled coagulopathy. Concomitant treatment with full dose warfarin (coumadin) is NOT allowed. Patients may receive low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) (such as enoxaparin and dalteparin) and direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) for management of deep venous thrombosis (DVT).
- Patients taking strong inhibitors of CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and CYP1A2 or strong inducers of CYP3A4 should only be entered into the study protocol if deemed by the investigator to be in their best interest and with study medical coordinator agreement
- Concomitant use of cimetidine, as it can decrease clearance of 5FU. Another H2-blocker or proton pump inhibitor may be substituted before study entry.
- Participants with uncontrolled intercurrent illness.
- Participants with uncontrolled seizures, central nervous system disorders or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
