Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04222413RecruitingPhase 1
Metarrestin for advanced solid tumors that spread
This Phase 1 trial studies metarrestin to see how safe it is and how well it works in people with advanced solid cancers that have spread or come back. You may be eligible if standard treatment options are no longer working or aren’t available.
Fairway, KansasAges 12–120 - NCT04406831Recruiting
Testing microRNA for pancreatic cancer diagnosis and treatment response
This study looks at tiny molecules in your body (microRNA) to help doctors better diagnose pancreatic cancer, predict how it may progress, and understand how it responds to treatment. It may help guide more personalized care in the future.
Norwalk, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04605913RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new combination chemo plus portable TTF therapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs plus a portable TTF device (TTF-100L) to treat pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver. It may help by trying to shrink or control the cancer in people who haven’t already had treatment specifically for stage IV metastatic disease.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04665947RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Imaging and targeted drug for pancreatic cancer using special radiation
This early study tests a two-step approach: a special PET/CT scan to find pancreatic cancer, followed by a targeted radiation medicine to attack it. It may help researchers learn whether this targeted approach is safe and able to reach pancreatic tumors after standard treatment.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04789486RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MR-guided radiation plus nanoparticles for central lung or pancreatic tumors
This early-phase study tests a new way to deliver focused radiation using MRI guidance and tiny particles, aiming to treat certain central lung tumors or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It’s designed to see how safe it is and how well it can control these tumors.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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 - NCT04900818RecruitingPhase 1
Givastomig for advanced solid cancers, including gastric and pancreas
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and effective givastomig (TJ033721) is for advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It may help people whose cancer has grown despite standard treatment, or—if in the combination parts—specific cancers that meet certain lab test and tumor-marker requirements.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05013216RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine trial for people at high risk of pancreatic cancer
This early-phase trial studies a long-peptide vaccine designed for people with certain genetic changes that raise the risk of pancreatic cancer. The goal is to help your immune system recognize and respond to cancer-related changes before cancer develops.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 40 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+ - NCT05065801RecruitingPhase 2
New metastatic pancreatic cancer: targeted chemo before FOLFIRINOX
This trial tests whether adding Gembrax (a combination that includes gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel) before standard FOLFIRINOX works better than FOLFIRINOX alone in people with pancreatic cancer that has already spread. It looks at whether this “step-up first” approach improves results and is still tolerable.
Grenoble, Auvergne-Rhône-AlpesAges 18–75 - NCT05076760RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a cancer-killing virus with standard treatments
This Phase 1 trial tests MEM-288, an oncolytic (cancer-killing) virus, either alone or combined with standard cancer medicines, in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s designed to see how the treatment works and how safe it is in different cancer types and after specific prior therapies.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05093231RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus olaparib for stage 4 pancreatic cancer
