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+ - NCT06673017RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new treatment for pancreatic cancer before surgery
This trial tests a new treatment, PTM-101, placed during a laparoscopy procedure for people with pancreatic cancer that can be removed with surgery. It aims to see if adding this treatment before standard chemotherapy helps improve outcomes.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06587061RecruitingPhase 2
HRS-4642 plus AG before and after surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of two medications (HRS-4642 and AG) given before and after surgery for pancreatic cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this treatment helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06423326RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy before surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of three chemotherapy drugs given before surgery for pancreatic cancer that is removable or borderline removable. The goal is to shrink the tumor to make surgery more successful.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06423963Recruiting
Exercise and nutrition before pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise and nutrition program can help people with pancreatic cancer get stronger before surgery. It’s designed for those who are not already doing regular strength training.
Tampa, FloridaAges 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+ - NCT06384560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Triple therapy before surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) before surgery for pancreatic cancer that can be removed. It aims to see if this triple therapy helps shrink tumors and improve survival.
AmsterdamAges 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06141031RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation and study drug for hard-to-treat pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new medicine (TTI-101) combined with targeted radiation for people with pancreatic cancer that is either borderline or locally advanced. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the cancer better than usual treatments.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05825066RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy before surgery for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy before any surgery to people with borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor, which may make surgery more successful and improve outcomes.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05428358Recruiting
MRI helps choose which pancreatic cancer patients can have surgery
This trial studies whether adding an MRI scan improves the selection of people with pancreatic cancer who may benefit from surgery. It focuses on patients without liver spread and with tumors that are borderline or likely removable.
AalborgAges 18–99 - NCT05132504RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemotherapy and immunotherapy for operable pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests giving chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) before surgery, to shrink or control potentially removable pancreatic cancer. The goal is to improve outcomes while making sure the cancer can still be safely removed by surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05132244Recruiting
Monitoring blood sugar levels in people starting pancreatic cancer treatment
This study looks at how well blood sugar (glucose) levels can be monitored and managed in people with pancreatic cancer who are starting their first treatment. It aims to understand if careful glucose management can improve well-being and possibly treatment outcomes.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 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.
