Recruiting studies
- NCT05744219RecruitingPhase 3
Iron after major abdominal surgery to improve recovery
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving iron (as ferric carboxymaltose) after complex major surgery can improve recovery by helping your body rebuild blood and oxygen levels after blood loss. It may help patients who are having certain types of aortic, liver, or pancreas operations.

CAR-T cells for cancers that have specific target proteins
This Phase 1 trial tests a customized immune therapy (CAR-T cells) for advanced cancers that have the proteins mesothelin, GPC3, and/or GUCY2C. It may help your body better recognize and kill cancer cells, but early-phase trials mainly focus on safety and learning how well the treatment works.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06277531Recruiting
Testing bile DNA to diagnose unclear bile duct strictures
This trial looks at whether DNA fragments in bile can help doctors tell if a bile duct stricture is cancerous or not. It may provide a less invasive way to get a clear diagnosis.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06572813RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether adding bortezomib and an immunotherapy drug to standard chemotherapy can help people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs. It is for patients who have not had treatment or whose cancer has worsened after gemcitabine-based chemotherapy.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06252545Recruiting
Improving clinical trial engagement for pancreatic cancer with an app
This study is about improving how Black individuals with pancreatic cancer connect with clinical trials, using a smartphone app. You would participate in a 1-hour interview to share your experiences.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07155525RecruitingPhase 3
Glue to prevent leaks after pancreas surgery
This trial tests whether a special medical glue (Glubran® 2) applied to the pancreas during surgery can help prevent fluid leaks. It is for people undergoing a Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer who have a soft pancreas.

Study of MBRC-201 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MBRC-201, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to find the best dose and see if it helps shrink tumors or slow their growth.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05501379Recruiting
Track activity in cancer patients during treatment
This study compares how physical activity answers on a questionnaire match what a motion tracker measures. It may help researchers understand activity levels in people with lymphoma, colorectal, or pancreatic cancer during treatment.
GreifswaldAges 18 years+ - NCT07697170Enrolling by invitation
How often to care for PICC lines in colon or pancreas cancer
This study looks at how often to replace the dressing on a PICC line (a small tube used for chemotherapy) in colon or pancreatic cancer patients to prevent skin damage. If you need a PICC line and receive one of certain chemotherapy regimens, this trial may help find the best care approach.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05604716Recruiting
Surgery Patients: Digestive and Social Function Follow-Up Study
This study checks how your digestion and daily social functioning may change after surgery. It looks at results from completed questionnaires filled out after your diagnosis to understand what issues patients face.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06549725Recruiting
Lipidica software for pancreatic cancer screening
This trial tests a software that analyzes fats (lipids) in your blood to find pancreatic cancer early. You may join if you have pancreatic cancer that can be removed with surgery, or if you are at very high risk due to family history or certain gene mutations.
Prague, CzechiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07262957RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing complications after pancreatic surgery with a drug bundle
This trial tests whether giving a combination of three treatments—hydrocortisone (a steroid), octreotide (a drug that reduces digestive fluids), and a tissue patch—before and during pancreatic surgery can help prevent complications. It is for people with a very small pancreatic duct (3 mm or less) who are scheduled for pancreatic surgery.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06774170Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up program for blood sugar after pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests a structured follow-up program to help manage blood sugar levels after pancreatic cancer surgery (Whipple procedure). It uses a continuous glucose monitor app on your smartphone to track glucose and may help you understand how your body regulates sugar after surgery.
Izmir, Balcova InciraltiAges Any age - 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 - NCT06344507Recruiting
Registry of Pancreas and Bile Duct Endoscopy Procedures
This study collects pictures and information from people who have a routine endoscopic ultrasound to look at the pancreas and bile ducts. It aims to learn more about these conditions and improve future care.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04099134Recruiting
Registry study for pancreatic ductal cancer before treatment
This is a “registry” study that collects health information from adults with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma before starting treatment. It may help researchers better understand the disease and how patients are managed in real life.
UlmAges 18 years+ - NCT04571294Recruiting
Removing lymph nodes during Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer
This study looks at removing certain lymph nodes near the aorta while doing a standard Whipple operation for pancreatic head cancer. The goal is to see whether this approach can improve how well doctors manage the cancer spread.
Rozzano, Italy/MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05851534Recruiting
Pre-surgery risk reduction for pancreatic surgery
This study helps people going for planned pancreatic cancer surgery (with or without chemo beforehand) by focusing on controllable risk factors before the operation. The goal is to improve safety and outcomes after surgery.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT06205849RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug and procedure for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called mitazalimab injected directly into the tumor, combined with a special electrical procedure that kills cancer cells. It is for people whose pancreatic cancer has not spread but cannot be removed by surgery.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06764134Recruiting
Testing a new stapler to prevent pancreatic leaks after surgery
This trial tests a new type of stapler (AEON) used during surgery to remove the left part of the pancreas. The goal is to see if it helps reduce the risk of a leak from the pancreas after surgery.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT07045571Recruiting
DNA blood test for pancreatic cancer prognosis and treatment
This study tests whether a blood test that looks at DNA changes (ctDNA methylation) can help predict how pancreatic cancer will behave and guide treatment decisions. It includes people with suspected pancreatic cancer who are planning surgery or a biopsy.

New surgical glue technique for pancreas connection after Whipple surgery
This trial tests a new method using a surgical glue called N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate to seal the pancreas after a Whipple procedure. It may help prevent leaks and improve recovery for patients with a soft pancreas and small pancreatic duct.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18–75 - NCT07230509RecruitingPhase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pancreas cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 153 recruiting pancreas cancer studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a pancreas cancer 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 pancreas cancer 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.
