What this study is about

This trial is testing a new treatment called PHL (paricalcitol, hydroxychloroquine, and losartan) in people with pancreatic cancer. The goal of this early-phase trial is to see if PHL can be safely used before surgery. This will help determine if PHL has any effect on the tumor and its surrounding tissue.
