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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05604560RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo before surgery for resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial tests two drugs, tislelizumab and SX-682, given before surgery for people with pancreatic cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 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.
