Plain-language summary
This study is open to adults with advanced pancreatic cancer for whom previous treatment was not successful or no treatment exists.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of BI 765883 that people with advanced pancreatic cancer can tolerate when taken alone or together with chemotherapy. Another purpose is to check whether BI 765883 helps people with advanced pancreatic cancer. In this study, BI 765883 is given to humans for the first time.
Participants receive either BI 765883 alone or BI 765883 in combination with chemotherapy. Participants can stay in the study as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. At study visits, doctors collect information on any health problems of the participants and check the severity of participants' cancer.

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.
What they're measuring
1
Occurrence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) in the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) evaluation period
. Archived tumor tissue from a tissue core biopsy (e.g. paraffin-embedded formalin-fixed tissue blocks), OR fresh tumor tissue available for retrospective biomarker analysis; in both cases, a minimum of at least two core needle biopsies (18 gauge or greater) is required. Only non-significant risk procedures per the investigator's judgment will be used to obtain any biopsies specified in this study in cases where a fresh tumor biopsy is required.
. Patients with at least 1 target lesion that can be accurately measured per RECIST version 1.1 Further inclusion criteria apply.
. Known hypersensitivity to the study medications or their excipients (including gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel)
. Any contraindications to gemcitabine or nab-paclitaxel according to the current approved local labels (combination therapy)
. Currently enrolled in another investigational device or drug trial, or less than 28 days since ending another investigational device or drug trial(s) or receiving other investigational treatment(s)
. Any serious concomitant disease or medical condition affecting compliance with trial requirements or which are considered relevant for the evaluation of the efficacy or safety of the trial drug, such as neurologic, psychiatric, infectious disease, active ulcers (gastrointestinal tract, skin), inflammatory bowel disease or bowel infection, or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with trial participation or trial drug administration, and in the judgment of the Investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into the trial.
. Prior radiotherapy or systemic therapy within 14 days prior to treatment start
. History or presence of cardiovascular abnormalities such as uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure NYHA classification of ≥III or IV, unstable angina or poorly controlled arrhythmia which are considered as clinically relevant by the Investigator Further exclusion criteria apply.
