Recruiting studies
- NCT06465069RecruitingPhase 1
Study of an experimental drug for advanced bladder and other cancers
This trial tests a new drug called LY4052031 for people with advanced or metastatic cancers, especially bladder cancer. The drug aims to slow or stop tumor growth. Doctors will check if it is safe and how well it works.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07562152RecruitingPhase 3
Atebimetinib Plus Gemcitabine/Nab-Paclitaxel for New Pancreatic Cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—atebimetinib (a new targeted therapy), gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel (two standard chemotherapy drugs)—as a first treatment for pancreatic cancer that has spread beyond the pancreas. The goal is to see if adding atebimetinib helps patients live longer and feel better.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07805954RecruitingPhase 3
New targeted pills for first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer
This trial tests two new targeted pills (zoldonrasib and daraxonrasib) compared to the standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel) as the first treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer with a specific KRAS G12D mutation. The new pills may specifically attack cancer cells with this mutation.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06239194RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MdX2001 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MDX2001, for people with advanced solid tumors that have spread. The study aims to find the best dose and see how well it works.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT03787056Recruiting
Blood test marker study in many cancer types
This study measures a blood marker called progastrin (at diagnosis and during treatment) to see how well it predicts response or outcomes. It may help doctors choose or monitor treatment more precisely for several cancer types.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT05035147RecruitingPhase 4
Albumin-bound paclitaxel plus gemcitabine for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies a chemotherapy combination (albumin-bound paclitaxel and gemcitabine) as first treatment for pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to improve outcomes by testing how well this treatment works in people with locally advanced or metastatic disease.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05524090Recruiting
Program to prepare for surgery in locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies an “implementation program” to help patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer get ready for the next steps after chemotherapy. It may help improve care planning and outcomes for people whose cancer has not grown after initial treatment.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05356039Recruiting
Study of surgery options and quality of life in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at people with borderline-resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer to see how treatment choices affect survival, quality of life, and whether tumors can be removed by surgery. It may help doctors better predict who can benefit from surgical approaches and what outcomes matter most to patients.
UmeåAges 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+ - NCT06028724Recruiting
Looking for cancer mutations using a blood test
This study uses a blood test (liquid biopsy) to find genetic changes in advanced solid tumors. It may help doctors choose the right treatment and monitor how well it works over time.
Aviano, PordononeAges 18 years+ - NCT05916261RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Personalized pancreatic cancer vaccines with pembrolizumab
This early-phase trial tests a personalized cancer vaccine made from your tumor, along with pembrolizumab, to help the immune system attack advanced pancreatic cancer. It may be an option if your cancer has specific immune “targets” and if you meet several health, lab, and infection requirements.
Qionghai, HainanAges 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 - NCT07173387RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus chemo for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial combines focused radiation with a chemotherapy drug combo to help shrink or control locally advanced pancreatic cancer. If it works, this treatment might make the tumor smaller and improve quality of life.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT05988814RecruitingPhase 2
FOLFIRINOX3 for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a stronger version of FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body. It aims to see if the new dosing schedule works better and is safe.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06196788RecruitingPhase 2
Artery infusion chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a treatment called transcatheter arterial infusion, where chemotherapy drugs are delivered directly to the tumor through a thin tube in an artery. It's for people with advanced pancreatic cancer who haven't had other treatments yet.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06111274RecruitingPhase 2
ABSK021 for untreated advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called ABSK021 for people with advanced pancreatic cancer who have not received any prior treatment. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07817147Recruiting
Microwave ablation treatment for advanced cancer
This study tests a procedure called microwave ablation (using heat to destroy cancer cells) for tumors that are hard to remove with surgery. It aims to see if the procedure is safe and effective when done through a scope in the stomach.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06494514Recruiting
New chemo combo with immunotherapy and radiation for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial compares two different chemotherapy combinations, each paired with immunotherapy and radiation, as the first treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It aims to see which combination works better.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07799935Recruiting
Tumor ablation after chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This study tests a procedure called irreversible electroporation (IRE), which uses electric pulses to destroy cancer cells, after chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to control the tumor and improve outcomes in people who are not eligible for surgery.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07784374RecruitingPhase 2
Study of new targeted therapies for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests three new targeted drug combinations for pancreatic cancer that has a specific genetic change (KRAS G12D). They are comparing the study drug alone versus combining it with other investigational drugs to see which works better.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT07692750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IBI343 plus chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug, IBI343, combined with chemotherapy for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has gotten worse after first-line treatment. It looks at whether this combination can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07683221RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs with radiation therapy for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The treatment aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - 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.
