Chemo before and after surgery for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (irinotecan liposome, 5-FU, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin) given before and after surgery for people with pancreatic cancer that is on the border of being removable. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–110 - 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 - NCT06173310Recruiting
MRI-guided chemo before surgery for pancreatic cancer
This study tests whether using a special MRI scan to guide chemotherapy can help people with pancreatic cancer that is on the edge of being removable. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough for successful surgery.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 19 years+ - NCT05688215RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zimberelimab and quemliclustat with chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial studies how well zimberelimab and quemliclustat work together with standard chemotherapy for people with borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It may help shrink the tumor and make treatment more effective before or around the time surgery is considered for some patients.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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 - 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 - NCT06574620Recruiting
Studying tumor DNA and proteins in pancreatic cancer
This study is looking at genetic material and proteins from pancreatic tumors to understand how the cancer responds to treatment. It aims to help doctors choose the best therapies for patients with certain types of pancreatic cancer that can be removed surgically or that have not spread to other organs.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 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+ - NCT07080021Recruiting
Tracking ctDNA for Pancreatic Cancer Before Surgery
This study looks at using a special blood test (ctDNA MRD) to track how well the tumor responds to chemotherapy before surgery for pancreatic cancer. It may help doctors decide if the treatment is working and guide next steps.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06320717Recruiting
AI-guided pre-surgery treatment for pancreatic cancer
This study tests how well an AI tool can guide which pre-surgery treatment is best for people with pancreatic cancer that can be removed. It uses your tumor's genetic fingerprint to choose the most effective therapy.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03492671RecruitingPhase 2
Two chemotherapy drugs plus radiation before pancreatic surgery
This trial tests whether giving two already-approved chemotherapy drugs and radiation before surgery works better for localized pancreatic cancer. It’s meant for people whose cancer looks removable by surgery and who haven’t had prior pancreatic cancer treatment.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03977233RecruitingPhase 2
Biopsies and FOLFIRINOX for non-metastatic pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at different types (subtypes) of pancreatic tumors in people treated with FOLFIRINOX, a chemotherapy. It requires tumor biopsies before and after treatment to see how the tumor changes, which may help doctors better match treatments in the future.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT04005690RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Targeted drug treatment for pancreatic cancer using pathway changes
This early-phase trial tests how well targeted medicines (and possibly an immunotherapy drug) work for people with pancreatic cancer that can’t be fully removed with surgery or has spread. It also looks at whether the treatment is safe and can shrink or control tumors by blocking specific cancer pathways.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT04894643Recruiting
Pre-surgery proton radiation plus chemo for borderline pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether giving proton radiation and chemotherapy before surgery can shrink or control “borderline resectable” pancreatic cancer so it can be removed more effectively. It may help by improving treatment response while planning for surgery afterward.
Wiener Neustadt, Lower AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05083247RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemotherapy plus targeted radiation for borderline pancreatic cancer
