Groundbreaking New Drug Nearly Doubles Pancreatic Cancer Survival – Now Available at Cancer Partners

We are proud to offer eligible patients with advanced pancreatic cancer access to the investigational therapy Daraxonrasib through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Expanded Access Program (EAP).

This unique opportunity provides hope for patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer who may have exhausted standard treatment options. Through participation in this program, Cancer Partners of Nebraska joins a select group of oncology practices nationwide helping patients gain access to promising therapies that are not yet widely available.

The Expanded Access Program is currently available only for patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer and is not intended for individuals with newly diagnosed metastatic disease, earlier-stage pancreatic cancer, or other cancer types.

At Cancer Partners of Nebraska, we remain committed to bringing innovative treatment opportunities and leading-edge cancer care closer to home for the patients and families we serve. To learn more about eligibility or schedule a consultation, contact Cancer Partners of Nebraska at 402-420-7000.
