Recruiting studies
- NCT06423326RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy before surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a three-drug chemotherapy combination (gemcitabine, cisplatin, and nab-paclitaxel) given before surgery for people with pancreatic cancer that can be removed or is on the edge of being removable. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve surgery outcomes.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06595160Recruiting
Diet and gut bacteria in pancreatic cancer treatment
This study looks at how diet and the bacteria in your gut might affect how well chemotherapy works for pancreatic cancer that can be surgically removed. If you have been newly diagnosed with this type of pancreatic cancer, you may be able to join.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06714604RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing standard vs. longer chemo before pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests whether taking chemotherapy for a longer period before surgery can help people with borderline or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if a longer treatment course leads to better outcomes.
Gothenburg, VGRAges 18–90 - NCT07081360RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo before or after surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial compares two approaches for patients with pancreatic or periampullary cancer that can be surgically removed: getting chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) versus surgery first. It aims to find out which sequence leads to better outcomes.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18–75 - NCT07126158RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus targeted drugs for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of targeted radiation and two oral drugs (defactinib and avutometinib) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that hasn't spread to distant organs. It may be an option if you've already had at least 2 months of chemo and your cancer is still locally advanced or borderline resectable.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07148830Recruiting
Surgery technique study for pancreatic cancer patients
This trial tests a specific surgical method called mesopancreatic excision during Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer. It may help remove more cancer tissue and improve outcomes for patients with resectable disease.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18–75 - NCT07269626RecruitingPhase 2
PULSAR therapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether adding a special type of radiation therapy (PULSAR) to standard chemotherapy can help control pancreatic cancer that has not spread far. It is for people who have already completed a few rounds of chemo without their cancer growing.
Seoul, Select Province/StateAges 19 years+ - NCT05529940RecruitingPhase 3
FOLFIRINOX around surgery for resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial compares giving chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX before and after surgery versus giving it mainly after surgery for people with resectable pancreatic duct cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by timing the treatment around the operation.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT05764720Recruiting
Personalized targeted radiation for borderline pancreatic cancer
This study tests a personalized form of stereotactic radiation therapy (high-precision radiation planned to fit your tumor) after you’ve had some chemotherapy. It aims to treat pancreatic tumors while limiting exposure to nearby healthy organs.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07481383RecruitingPhase 1
Implant device for chemo delivery in advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests an implantable device that delivers chemotherapy (gemcitabine) directly to pancreatic tumors. It may offer a new treatment option for people with non-metastatic, advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be surgically removed.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06831136RecruitingPhase 2
Endoscopic ultrasound ablation plus immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of endoscopic ultrasound-guided heat ablation (RFA) and the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab for people with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06381882Enrolling by invitation
Human microbiome study after pancreatic surgery
This study looks at how tiny organisms in your gut (the microbiome) affect recovery after surgery for pancreatic cancer or related growths. It may help doctors understand how to improve outcomes for future patients.
NieuwegeinAges 18 years+ - NCT02843945RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing radiation for borderline pancreatic surgery using a tiny implant
This early trial studies whether adding targeted radiation during or around pancreatic surgery is safe and may improve outcomes for people with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. It is mainly looking at feasibility and safety while treating close to the tumor but not spreading (no metastasis).
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05802394Recruiting
Using blood tests to track cancer after pancreatic treatment
This trial studies whether a blood test (ctDNA, a DNA signal from tumors) can help track how pancreatic cancer responds during planned conversion therapy. It may help doctors spot treatment response earlier and guide next steps.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04452461RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy before surgery for borderline pancreatic cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy before surgery for people with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, to try to make surgery more successful. It also checks whether the study treatment is safe and helps tumors before the operation.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18–79 - NCT07030283RecruitingPhase 1
Chemotherapy in the belly for pancreatic cancer that has spread
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (NALIRIFOX given through a vein plus paclitaxel given directly into the abdomen) for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly but not to other organs. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06065891Recruiting
Lymph node removal in pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial studies whether removing extra lymph nodes during surgery for pancreatic cancer can help find if the cancer has spread. It is for patients whose tumor is considered removable or borderline removable.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT05657743Recruiting
Radiation seeds study for advanced pancreatic cancer safety
This trial tests a radiation treatment that places tiny radioactive seeds directly into the tumor to treat advanced pancreatic cancer. It mainly focuses on safety and whether the treatment can be delivered effectively, especially for people who may not be able to have more chemotherapy or surgery.
HolonAges 18 years+ - NCT05526443Recruiting
Registry study for advanced pancreatic cancer treatment patterns
This registry collects information about people with advanced pancreatic cancer who are receiving first-line palliative treatment. It helps doctors understand which treatment choices are used and how people do over time.
Graz, StyriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05462496RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus gut microbiome changes after pancreatic chemo
This Phase 2 study tests whether changing the gut microbiome (the gut’s helpful bacteria) and giving pembrolizumab after chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with operable pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if this approach can boost the immune system after standard treatment and help reduce cancer returning.
New York, New YorkAges 19 years+ - NCT06483555RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug combo for basal-like pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (gemcitabine, erlotinib, and nab-paclitaxel) for people with a specific type of pancreatic cancer called 'basal-like' PDAC. It aims to see if this targeted approach works better than standard treatment.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT02598349RecruitingPhase 2
Proton radiation for pancreas cancer that can’t be removed
This trial tests proton radiation for people with pancreas cancer that cannot be fully removed by surgery (or who choose not to have surgery). It may help shrink or control the cancer using a treatment that aims to better target the tumor while limiting dose to nearby organs.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06353646Recruiting
XH001 plus immunotherapy and chemotherapy after pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial studies a new treatment called XH001 combined with standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy for people whose pancreatic cancer has been surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06538857RecruitingPhase 2
Study of CEB-01 for resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called CEB-01 in people with pancreatic cancer that can be surgically removed. It aims to see if adding this drug to surgery improves outcomes.
