Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07646106RecruitingPhase 1
Testing THE-0504 in Advanced Solid Tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests a new drug called THE-0504 in patients with advanced solid tumors (like lung, colon, pancreas, stomach, or breast cancer) that have not responded to standard treatments. The study aims to find the right dose and understand how well and safely the drug works.
Rome, LazioAges 18 years+ - NCT06648434RecruitingPhase 1
MK2 inhibitor plus mFOLFIRINOX for metastatic pancreatic cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called zunsemetinib (an MK2 inhibitor) combined with a standard chemotherapy regimen (mFOLFIRINOX) for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07358208Enrolling by invitation
Pancreas cancer family registry study
This study is building a registry of people with a strong family history of pancreatic cancer. By joining, you help researchers learn more about who is at risk and how to detect it early.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT03568630Recruiting
Blood tests to study early pancreatic cancer risk
This study looks at blood “markers” to find early signs or higher risk for pancreatic cancer. You may join if you have certain risk factors (like new diabetes, pancreatic cysts/pancreatitis, or a strong family history) and can come to Omaha for blood draws twice a year.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT04485286RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan tracer to find lung or pancreas radiation injury
This Phase 2 study tests a special PET scan tracer to help doctors spot tissue damage after radiation treatment in people with certain lung or pancreatic cancers. The goal is to improve detection and planning around chemoradiation and surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT07157033RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing XER-001 with radiation for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new way to deliver a drug called amifostine (XER-001) alongside intense radiation therapy (SBRT) for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that can't be surgically removed. The goal is to see if it's safe and effective at protecting healthy tissue while targeting the tumor.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06705335Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer study: looking at convertase enzymes
This study collects tissue samples from people with pancreatic cancer to study convertase enzymes. It may help us understand how these enzymes affect the disease.
