PET scan study using a new tracer for solid tumors
This trial tests a special PET/CT scan using a new tracer (68Ga-FAPI) to help show tumors in the pancreas, bile ducts, stomach, or certain ovarian cancers. It may help doctors better see where cancer is in preparation for surgery or biopsy.
StockholmAges 19 years+ - NCT05191940Recruiting
Radiation for advanced pancreatic cancer you can’t remove by surgery
This trial studies how well radiation therapy works for pancreatic cancer that is locally advanced (near important blood vessels) and cannot be removed with surgery. It may help shrink or control the cancer when surgery isn’t an option.
Wiener Neustadt, Lower AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05218889RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Surufatinib plus immunotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies whether a combination of surufatinib and immunotherapy (camrelizumab, plus an “AS” medicine) can slow or shrink advanced pancreatic cancer that has spread. It is for people starting treatment for advanced disease for the first time and may help those who have measurable tumors and meet safety test limits.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT05269485RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Hypofractionated radiation for stage III lung cancer

- How do I know if I qualify for a locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumors trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumors trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
