Recruiting studies in Minnesota
- 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.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05254171RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Trial adds SBP-101 to standard chemo for pancreatic cancer
This trial studies whether adding SBP-101 to standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel) can improve outcomes in people with metastatic pancreatic cancer. You may be eligible if you have not yet started treatment for metastatic disease and meet other health and test requirements.
Saint Cloud, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07621718RecruitingPhase 3
Zoldonrasib plus chemotherapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer with KRAS mutation
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called zoldonrasib to standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone for pancreatic cancer that has spread and has a specific KRAS G12D mutation. The goal is to see if this combination helps patients live longer and control their cancer better.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07491445RecruitingPhase 3
Daraxonrasib plus chemo for first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new targeted therapy (daraxonrasib) combined with standard chemotherapy as the first treatment for people whose pancreatic cancer has spread. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer better than chemotherapy alone.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07409272RecruitingPhase 3
Study of setidegrasib with chemo for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called setidegrasib, given with two types of chemotherapy (mFOLFIRINOX or NALIRIFOX), for people whose pancreatic cancer has spread and has a specific genetic change called KRAS G12D. The goal is to see if adding setidegrasib helps control the cancer better than chemo alone.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07226856RecruitingPhase 2
New combo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug (BMS-986340) plus standard chemo for people whose pancreatic cancer has spread or come back. The goal is to see if this combination works better.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06998940RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy with or without panitumumab for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether adding a targeted drug called panitumumab to standard chemotherapy can help people with a certain type of pancreatic cancer that has spread. It is for patients whose tumors do not have a KRAS mutation and who have already had one line of chemotherapy.
Baxter, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06922591RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TNG462 for pancreatic and lung cancer with MTAP loss
This trial tests a new drug called TNG462, alone or combined with other drugs, for people with advanced pancreatic or non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have a specific genetic change (loss of MTAP and a RAS mutation). It aims to see if TNG462 is safe and works better than current treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06906562RecruitingPhase 2
Pemigatinib for advanced pancreatic cancer with FGFR changes
This trial tests a targeted pill, pemigatinib, for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific FGFR gene change. The study is done entirely through telemedicine, so you can participate from home if eligible.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06605430RecruitingPhase 2
Medical cannabis for advanced pancreatic and colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether medical cannabis can help reduce nausea, vomiting, appetite loss, wasting, and pain in people with advanced pancreatic or colorectal cancer who are starting chemotherapy. It's for Minnesota residents only.
Saint Louis Park, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06445062RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RAS-targeting drugs for gastrointestinal cancers
This trial tests new drugs that target a specific genetic change (RAS) in gastrointestinal cancers like pancreatic and colorectal cancer. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink or slow down the cancer.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06172478RecruitingPhase 2
HER3-DXd for advanced solid tumors after prior treatment
This trial tests a new targeted drug called HER3-DXd for people with several types of advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, designed to deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells that have a protein called HER3 on their surface.
Saint Louis Park, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05518903RecruitingPhase 2
Scan test to see tumor-support cells in pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a special imaging scan (a PET/CT with a tracer called 68Ga-FAPI-46) to look at “cancer-support” cells in people with localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. It may help doctors better understand the tumor and how it responds before surgery after initial treatment.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04858009RecruitingPhase 2
Warm chemotherapy placed in the belly for pancreatic cancer spread
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment that warms chemotherapy and delivers it directly into the abdomen to treat pancreatic cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly (peritoneum). You may be eligible if you completed earlier chemotherapy and your body shows signs the cancer is responding, with limited spread in the abdomen.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT04657068RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ART0380 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called ART0380 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It may be especially helpful for those with certain DNA repair gene changes (like ATM or BRCA). The drug will be given alone or with chemotherapy (gemcitabine or irinotecan) depending on the part of the trial.
Maple Grove, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04981119Recruiting
Test apheresis for CAR T manufacturing in HLA-A2 solid tumors
This trial studies how a process called apheresis is used to make CAR T cells for people with certain solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that have lost a specific immune marker (HLA-A*02), which may affect how well CAR T therapies work.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05005403RecruitingPhase 1
Testing azirkitug for lung, head/neck, and other solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests how a new medicine (azirkitug) behaves in the body and how safe it is, given by IV infusion alone or with other cancer drugs. It may help people with several advanced solid tumor cancers, especially after standard treatments have stopped working.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06051695RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T cell therapy for mesothelin-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR T-cells) designed to target cancer cells that have a protein called mesothelin but have lost a marker that lets them hide from the immune system. It's for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried standard treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07252232RecruitingPhase 3
A pill to prevent pancreatic cancer recurrence after surgery
This trial tests an experimental daily pill, daraxonrasib, in people with pancreatic cancer that has been surgically removed. It’s for those who also had chemotherapy and have a specific DNA change called a RAS mutation. The goal is to see if the pill helps prevent the cancer from coming back.

What taking part in a metastatic pancreatic cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
