MarseilleAges 18–75 - NCT04275557Recruiting
Using scan and blood data to judge pancreatic cyst risk
This study looks at how medical images and lab samples can predict which pancreatic cysts or tumors are more likely to be dangerous. If you are being evaluated for a pancreatic problem and haven’t started pancreas treatment, your scans and samples may help researchers improve risk prediction.
Lakewood Rch, FloridaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06478225Recruiting
Cell therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy (BGT007H) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has not responded to earlier treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help shrink or control the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06914349Recruiting
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 - NCT07342231Recruiting
FAPi PET scan for pancreatic cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan (FAPi PET) to see if it can help spot pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma better than standard scans. It may offer a more precise way to check the extent of the disease.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 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.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 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+ - NCT04543071RecruitingPhase 2
Second-line-like immunotherapy and chemo for metastatic pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies a combination of immunotherapy, a blood-vessel/immune signal blocker, and chemotherapy for people with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. It may help shrink tumors and improve control of the disease.
New York, New YorkAges 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 - 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+ - 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.
