Is it possible Alex Trebek is enrolled in HALO-301 and maybe there is a survival benefit (OS endpoint)?? I think it is more likely than a genomic target study. The tumor stroma is mentioned a lot lately.

Here are recent lay press comments (for what it's worth!)

"Though Friedman did not specify what these numbers were counting, his update confirms what Trebek himself shared with People in May—that his chemotherapy treatment had shrunken his pancreatic cancer tumors a “mind-boggling” amount. This is rare for patients with Trebek’s type and stage of cancer; according to Dr. Allyson Ocean, a Medical Oncologist at Weill Cornell Medical Center, chemotherapy drugs often have a hard time penetrating pancreatic cancer tumors. In a previous conversation with SurvivorNet, Dr. Ocean explained that the reason for this is in part that pancreatic cancer tumors are surrounded by something called “stromal tissue,” which acts as a barrier to chemotherapy and radiation."
