Plain-language summary
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of FL118 in treating patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). FL118 is a small anti-tumor molecule that inhibits the expression of multiple cancer-associated anti-apoptotic proteins. An anti-apoptotic protein is a protein that interferes with or inhibits cell death. In adults, apoptosis is used to rid the body of cells that have been damaged beyond repair. Apoptosis also plays a role in preventing cancer. If apoptosis is for some reason prevented, it can lead to uncontrolled cell production that can subsequently develop into a tumor. FL118 has been shown to inhibit or block the proteins that prevent damaged/mutated (genetically changed) cells from dying, and, by doing so, prevent the growth of cancerous cells and tumor development.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age ≥ 18 years old
* Have a histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced PDAC (locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic for part A (dose escalation) and metastatic for part B (dose expansion)
* Progression on or intolerance to 1st line therapy for advanced disease. Note that completion of adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy within 6 months from relapsed disease is considered one line of therapy for locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic disease

* Have a life expectancy of greater than 3 months
* Have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria present
* Patient willing to undergo tumor biopsy at baseline and on treatment if there is a lesion that can safely be biopsied based on investigator assessment. If this is not feasible, adequate archival tumor tissue must be available

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
