The results showed that CAN10 reduced inflammation and fibrosis in a model of myocarditis and the deterioration in cardiac function . Cantargia intends to broaden the development of nadunolimab to cover additional cancer types . As part of this effort , a letter of intent was signed with the Spanish Breast Cancer Group ( GEICAM ) to conduct a clinical phase Ib / Il study , TRIFOUR , in which nadunolimab will be evaluated with carboplatin / gemcitabine in patients with triple negative breast cancer . After an initial safety phase , the second part of the study will be conducted against a control group . The application to start TRIFOUR was submitted at the beginning of July . An application was also submitted to start the phase I / II study CESTAFOUR , where nadunolimab will be evaluated in combination with chemotherapy in three different forms of cancer . Additional positive interim results were presented from the CANFOUR study , where treatment with nadunolimab and gemcitabine / nab - paclitaxel is evaluated in pancreatic cancer patients . The results are strong compared to historical control data for chemotherapy alone and show durable responses , among other effects , as well as five patients with pseudo progression , an unusual observation in pancreatic cancer . Overall , this resulted in progression - free survival of 7.8 months and overall survival of 12.6 months . During the period , regulatory approval was obtained for a further clinical study in pancreatic cancer , CAPAFOUR , where nadunolimab will be evaluated in combination with the FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy regimen .
