O January 16, 2018, an abstract detailing a Phase IB/II randomized study of Halozyme's drug PEGPH20 as a treatment for pancreatic cancer in combination with the cancer drug mFFOX was published in connection with a scheduled presentation at the 2018 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium. The abstract's authors concluded that the "addition of PEGPH20 to mFFOX is not recommended for further study and appears to be detrimental" after noting that patients who used the combination experienced higher levels of diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and more than those who used mFFOX as a monotherapy.
