Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07157033RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing XER-001 with radiation for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new way to deliver a drug called amifostine (XER-001) alongside intense radiation therapy (SBRT) for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that can't be surgically removed. The goal is to see if it's safe and effective at protecting healthy tissue while targeting the tumor.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 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.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05424159Recruiting
Carbon ion radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a type of radiation that uses carbon ions to treat pancreatic cancer that can’t be removed with surgery but has not spread to distant organs. It may help shrink or control the tumor while limiting radiation side effects to nearby organs.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06789679RecruitingPhase 2
Adding S-1 to standard chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether adding a third drug (S-1, a chemotherapy pill) to the standard two-drug IV chemo (albumin-bound paclitaxel and gemcitabine) can help people with advanced pancreatic cancer live longer. It's for those who haven't had treatment yet for their advanced cancer.
