Comparing two ways to reconnect the stomach after Whipple surgery
This trial compares two common surgical techniques for reconnecting the stomach and small intestine during a Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) to see if one leads to fewer complications. It may help surgeons choose the best approach for you.
LarissaAges 18–80 - NCT06046794Recruiting
Gemcitabine for metastatic pancreatic cancer patients
This trial tests gemcitabine chemotherapy in people with metastatic pancreatic cancer who cannot take FOLFIRINOX. It aims to see how well gemcitabine works based on a specific tumor marker called GemCore.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT02598349RecruitingPhase 2
Proton radiation for pancreas cancer that can’t be removed
This trial tests proton radiation for people with pancreas cancer that cannot be fully removed by surgery (or who choose not to have surgery). It may help shrink or control the cancer using a treatment that aims to better target the tumor while limiting dose to nearby organs.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT03334708Recruiting
Blood test study for pancreatic cancer
This study looks at blood tests to find markers that may help detect and monitor pancreatic cancer. It compares people with pancreatic cancer to those with benign pancreatic conditions and healthy volunteers.
Middletown, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06989437RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of Ponsegromab for Pancreatic Cancer with Weight Loss
This study tests an experimental drug called ponsegromab for people with advanced pancreatic cancer who experience severe weight loss and fatigue. It aims to see if the drug can help improve weight and energy levels while you continue standard chemotherapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07235930RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy plus two targeted drugs (serplulimab and bevacizumab) against chemotherapy alone for pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. This approach may help shrink or stabilize the tumor longer.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05984810RecruitingPhase 2
Using a glowing dye to help see pancreatic cancer during surgery
This trial tests whether a special dye (SGM-101) can help surgeons see remaining cancer cells during surgery for pancreatic cancer that has been treated before surgery. It may lead to more complete removal of the tumor.
LeidenAges 18 years+ - NCT06055010Recruiting
Improving pancreatic cancer care with computer science
This study uses data from patients with pancreatic conditions and healthy people to improve care through computer analysis. It may help researchers develop better tools for diagnosis and treatment.
UtrechtAges Any age - NCT06160596Recruiting
Understanding long-term cancer survival in hard-to-treat tumors
This study looks at why some people with hard-to-treat cancers live much longer than expected. It collects tumor samples to search for clues that might help future patients.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT06523582Recruiting
Genetic study of neuroendocrine tumors in Mexican patients
This study aims to find genetic causes of neuroendocrine tumors in Mexican patients. By understanding your DNA, researchers hope to improve diagnosis and treatment for people with these rare conditions.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06693986RecruitingPhase 1
Virus therapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a modified virus injected directly into pancreatic tumors using an endoscopy. It is designed to target and attack cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue, and may be an option for people whose cancer is still confined to the pancreas and nearby lymph nodes.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05720338RecruitingPhase 3
Does everyone need a drain after distal pancreas surgery?
This study compares whether patients need an internal abdominal drain after removing part of the pancreas (a distal pancreatectomy). It aims to see if skipping the drain is as safe and may reduce drain-related problems.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05376592Recruiting
Study genes and weight loss in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at how a person’s genetic variations may relate to cancer-related weight loss (cachexia) in pancreatic cancer. It may help researchers better understand who is most at risk and guide future treatments.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06024824RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Radiation therapy for pancreatic cancer before surgery
This trial tests a special type of radiation therapy for people with pancreatic cancer who are going to have chemotherapy and then surgery. The radiation is 'painted' to give more dose to the tumor and less to nearby healthy tissue.
DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT06651580Recruiting
Gene study for kids with pancreas problems
This study collects samples like blood or tissue from children with pancreatitis to look for gene changes that might raise their risk. It helps doctors learn more about why some children get pancreas inflammation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Up to 17 years - NCT07121478Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing a new treatment for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
This trial is for people with high-grade pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (a type of pancreas cancer) whose previous treatments stopped working. It tests whether a new approach can help when standard options have failed.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT06645808RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET imaging study for various solid tumors
This study uses a special PET scan to see if a new imaging agent can help find and monitor certain solid tumors. It is for people with colon, rectal, sarcoma, breast, lung, head and neck, esophageal, stomach, pancreas, bladder cancers, or glioblastoma who have had standard treatment before surgery.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06084013Recruiting
Using a green dye to check blood flow during pancreas surgery
This trial tests a green dye called indocyanine green (ICG) that is injected during pancreas surgery to see how well blood flows to the remaining tissue. The goal is to learn if this dye can help predict complications, such as leaks from the pancreas, after surgery.
