Checkpoint cancer drug given into or near tumors
This trial studies whether giving immunotherapy “checkpoint inhibitor” medicine directly into the tumor area (and/or the artery feeding it), along with a chemotherapy-style drug, can work better for advanced solid tumors. It aims to boost the immune system’s ability to attack cancer while still being safe for people with measurable tumors.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT03977233RecruitingPhase 2
Biopsies and FOLFIRINOX for non-metastatic pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at different types (subtypes) of pancreatic tumors in people treated with FOLFIRINOX, a chemotherapy. It requires tumor biopsies before and after treatment to see how the tumor changes, which may help doctors better match treatments in the future.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - 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 - NCT04150042RecruitingPhase 1
Test of chemotherapy plus your own stem cells for metastatic cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a treatment approach using standard chemotherapy along with stem cells taken from you to treat metastatic pancreatic or breast cancer. It is mainly designed to check safety and find the best way to give the treatment, and it may offer an option for people whose cancer has spread.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04907643Recruiting
Virtual reality program to reduce stomach-cancer pain
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) can improve pain and other day-to-day symptoms in people with certain gastrointestinal cancers. You’d use VR for pain relief while researchers measure how you’re feeling.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT05403177Recruiting
Share your cancer data and samples for Ontario research
This study collects and combines medical records, genetic (genomic) data, and tumor/blood samples from people with cancer. It helps researchers build and improve a large “gold standard” cancer dataset that can support future studies and better understanding of cancer.
Kingston, OntarioAges 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+ - NCT05850130Recruiting
Acupuncture to treat nerve pain from oxaliplatin chemotherapy
This study tests whether acupuncture can reduce nerve pain caused by oxaliplatin chemotherapy in people with gastrointestinal cancers. It may help lessen symptoms like tingling, numbness, or burning that affect hands or feet.
CréteilAges 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+ - NCT06006390RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-T therapy for CEA-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment called CAR-T cells that are designed to find and attack cancer cells carrying a protein called CEA. It is for people with advanced colorectal, esophageal, stomach, or pancreatic cancer who have already tried other treatments.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06010862RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T therapy for CEA-positive advanced cancers
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (called CAR-T) that targets a protein called CEA on cancer cells. It is for people with advanced colorectal, esophageal, stomach, or pancreatic cancer who have already tried standard treatments without success.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06043466RecruitingPhase 1
