New York, NY – April 6, 2026 – Encretin Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has removed the full clinical hold on Encretin-001, an investigational combination therapy for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
The FDA has concluded that the clinical trial may proceed.
This represents an important milestone for Encretin Therapeutics, said Mike Zhou, M.D., CEO of Encretin Therapeutics. “We are encouraged by the FDA’s feedback and look forward to advancing this program into clinical development.”
