This study looks at how tiny organisms in your gut (the microbiome) affect recovery after surgery for pancreatic cancer or related growths. It may help doctors understand how to improve outcomes for future patients.
NieuwegeinAges 18 years+ - NCT06282809Recruiting
Sound wave therapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new device that uses sound waves (histotripsy) to break apart pancreatic tumors without surgery. It is for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed and who have already had chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the tumor.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06263088Recruiting
Equity in GI Cancer Care Study
This trial is looking for Black patients newly diagnosed with any stage of gastrointestinal cancer to help improve cancer care and make sure research includes everyone. By joining, you help doctors learn how to better support patients like you.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06065891Recruiting
Lymph node removal in pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial studies whether removing extra lymph nodes during surgery for pancreatic cancer can help find if the cancer has spread. It is for patients whose tumor is considered removable or borderline removable.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT06043466RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for CEA-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new cell therapy called CAR-T that targets cancer cells with a protein called CEA. It is for people with certain advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05975593Recruiting
Study how radiation affects tumor biology in cervical or pancreatic cancer
This study looks at how radiotherapy changes the tumor environment, using lab samples collected during treatment. It may help researchers understand why radiation works differently for different people and could improve future treatment planning.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05850130Recruiting
Acupuncture for nerve pain after colon cancer treatment
This trial tests whether acupuncture can relieve the nerve pain and tingling in the hands and feet that often occurs after treatment with oxaliplatin, a chemotherapy drug for gastrointestinal cancers. The study aims to help people manage this side effect and improve their daily comfort.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07612046Recruiting
MRI of the pancreas for cancer screening
This study uses MRI scans to screen for pancreas cancer in people at high risk due to family history or certain gene mutations. It aims to see if MRI can help find cancer early.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05679674Recruiting
Radiation plus at-home tumor device for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether combining targeted radiation with an at-home “tumor treating fields” device can better control locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It may help by attacking cancer cells in more than one way after prior chemotherapy.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07700992Recruiting
A blood test to find pancreatic cancer early
This study uses stored blood samples from people at higher risk for pancreatic cancer (due to family history or certain pancreatic cysts) to see if a simple blood test can detect the disease early or help monitor it over time.
Milan, MIAges 18–99 - 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+ - NCT05187338RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drugs that target immune checkpoints for solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a combination of three immune “checkpoint” medicines in people with advanced solid cancers. It aims to see how well they work and what side effects occur, including when given through a specific liver-focused treatment in eligible patients.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05155878Recruiting
Study of factors that predict outcomes for certain pancreas tumors
This study looks at what features of certain pancreas and nearby tumors or cysts might help predict outcomes. It uses existing medical records (and consent, if applicable) and may help doctors better estimate prognosis for patients in the future.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT04907643Recruiting
Virtual reality program to reduce stomach-cancer pain
