Cancer Research UK has announced it will help Glasgow-based precision medicine research group PRECISION Panc conduct three new clinical trials in pancreatic cancer. The charity will make a £10 million ($12.4 million) investment in the project.

The first trial, in collaboration with US biotech firm Celgene (Nasdaq: CELG) compares combination chemotherapy treatment FOLFOX-A with GA (gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel).

Another trial will investigate a further drug from Celgene, and a third will investigate an immunotherapy candidate from Medimmune, the worldwide biologics R&D arm of AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN).
