OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT05911217RecruitingPhase 1
CT041 treatment after chemotherapy for resected pancreatic cancer
This Phase 1 study tests whether CT041 is safe and may help prevent pancreatic cancer from coming back after it’s been removed and you’ve completed standard chemotherapy. You may be eligible if your tumor is positive for CLDN18.2 and your recovery and blood tests meet key requirements.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–79 - 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+ - NCT07705919RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MRI scans to monitor borderline resectable pancreatic cancer treatment
This study uses MRI scans to see how well chemotherapy and radiation work in people with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer – a type where surgery might be possible but is risky. The goal is to find the best way to measure tumor response so doctors can make better treatment decisions.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07671339RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine for pancreatic cancer with KRAS mutations
This trial tests a cancer vaccine (ELI-002 7P) for people with pancreatic cancer that hasn't spread to other parts of the body. It may be given alone or with another drug (tislelizumab) that helps the immune system fight cancer. The goal is to see if these treatments can help keep the cancer from coming back after surgery or chemotherapy.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07645651RecruitingPhase 1
Samuraciclib for treatable basal pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called samuraciclib in people with a specific type of pancreatic cancer that can be removed with surgery or is confined to the pancreas. The drug may help stop the cancer from growing, and this study aims to see if it is safe and effective before surgery.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06690528RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery vs. palliative care for pancreatic cancer with limited liver spread
This trial compares surgery to remove the primary tumor and up to 3 liver spots against standard palliative care for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread only to the liver (up to 3 spots). It is for those whose cancer has not grown after initial chemotherapy and who are healthy enough for surgery.
Padova, ItalyAges 18–75 - NCT07619313RecruitingPhase 1
AB801 with Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy for Bile Duct or Pancreatic Cancer
This study tests a new drug called AB801 combined with standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) or pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 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 - 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 - NCT07542002RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy and Radiation for Pancreatic Cancer Before Surgery
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (liposomal irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and adebrelimab) given with radiation therapy before surgery for pancreatic cancer that can be surgically removed or is borderline removable. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve the chances of successful surgery.
NingboAges 18–75 - NCT07539155RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MMR Vaccine Injection for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
This trial tests whether injecting an MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine directly into a pancreatic tumor can help your immune system fight the cancer. You're eligible if your pancreatic cancer cannot be surgically removed after standard chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07436741RecruitingPhase 3
Study of surufatinib plus chemo before surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests if adding surufatinib to standard chemotherapy before surgery can help people with a certain type of pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if the combination shrinks the tumor more than chemotherapy alone.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 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+ - NCT05298722Recruiting
MRI and blood tests to predict if pancreatic surgery is possible
This study looks at MRI scans, computer-extracted imaging features, and blood/“liquid biopsy” tests after FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy to predict whether surgery can fully remove pancreatic cancer. It may help your care team choose the best next step—whether surgery is likely to be possible and how to plan it.
Ghent, East FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT06944587Recruiting
Personalized care for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial is testing a new way to treat pancreatic cancer that has spread to nearby tissues but not to distant organs. It uses a tailored plan that may include chemotherapy and possibly surgery. The goal is to see if this personalized approach helps people live longer and better.
Bergen, NorwayAges 18 years+ - NCT07131514RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for pancreatic cancer before and after surgery
This trial tests if giving a combination of four drugs before and after surgery can help treat pancreatic cancer. The drugs include HRS-4642, gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, and adebrelimab. It may help shrink the tumor before surgery and lower the chance of cancer coming back afterward.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - 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.
