Recruiting studies
- NCT07430293Recruiting
Closed-loop insulin pump study after pancreas removal surgery
This study tests a hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system (MiniMed 780G with Simplera sensor) in people who have had their pancreas removed. The system automatically adjusts insulin based on glucose levels, which may make diabetes management easier and safer.

This trial compares robot-assisted surgery with standard keyhole surgery to remove growths on the left side of the pancreas. It may help doctors determine which method is safer and more effective for non-cancerous or pre-cancerous conditions.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07656571Recruiting
Green dye vs standard surgery for pancreas tail tumors
This trial compares standard laparoscopic surgery to surgery using a green dye that helps the surgeon see the pancreas more clearly. It may help patients needing removal of tumors in the body or tail of the pancreas.
AlexandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06126601Recruiting
Study on blood enzyme levels after pancreas surgery
This study checks if high levels of a certain enzyme (called amylase) in the blood after pancreas surgery can help predict recovery and complications. The goal is to improve patient safety after the operation.
DresdenAges 18–85 - NCT05856474Recruiting
Treating a pancreas injury after a surgery-confirmed cut
This study focuses on people whose pancreas injury is confirmed during an abdominal surgery (laparotomy). It aims to improve how traumatic pancreas transection is managed after that confirmation.
TainanAges 1–70 - NCT07608055Recruiting
Pancreas Removal and Metabolic Health in Non-Diabetic Patients
This study follows patients who are having part or all of their pancreas removed due to disease. Researchers want to understand how this surgery affects blood sugar control, weight, and overall health in people without diabetes before surgery.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07493421Recruiting
Surgery and heated chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer with spread to the abdomen
This trial tests if combining surgery to remove the tumor with a special heated chemotherapy bath for the abdomen (HIPEC) is safe and possible for people whose pancreatic cancer has spread only to the lining of the abdomen.
Shanghai, shangaiShanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07396662Recruiting
Pancreas Function and Recovery After Surgery
This study looks at how well the pancreas works (both hormone and digestive functions) and what happens to patients after pancreas removal surgery. It may help doctors better predict recovery and long-term health.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 20–75 - NCT07360119Recruiting
Pancreas removal with islet transplant for high-risk tumors
This trial removes the whole pancreas in people with certain pancreatic tumors and then transplants the patient's own insulin-making cells (islets) into the liver. The goal is to prevent or reduce diabetes after surgery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06944587Recruiting
Personalized care for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial is testing a new way to treat pancreatic cancer that has spread to nearby tissues but not to distant organs. It uses a tailored plan that may include chemotherapy and possibly surgery. The goal is to see if this personalized approach helps people live longer and better.
Bergen, NorwayAges 18 years+ - NCT06814249Enrolling by invitation
Pancreatic stump ligation after distal pancreatectomy study
This study looks at a specific surgical technique for closing the remaining part of the pancreas after a distal pancreatectomy (removal of the tail or body). It aims to see if a special ligation method can improve outcomes. You may be able to join if you are planning this surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05843877RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery choice and insulin islet transplant to prevent leaks
This Phase 3 trial studies a pancreatic surgery approach (pylorus-preserving Whipple or similar) and, in some cases, moving your insulin-making cells into your body to help prevent a dangerous post-surgery leak from the pancreas. It may help people who are considered high risk for this complication based on pancreas texture and duct size.
DresdenAges 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+ - NCT05149625Recruiting
Compare glucose tracking with a sensor versus finger sticks
This study compares two ways to monitor blood sugar after partial or full pancreas removal: a continuous glucose sensor versus traditional finger-stick testing. It looks at both how well blood sugar is controlled and how satisfied people feel with each method.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04220931Recruiting
Botox shot to help prevent a pancreas leak after distal surgery
This trial studies whether injecting a Botox-like medicine into the pancreatic drainage area can help prevent a post-surgery pancreas fistula (a persistent leak). It’s for adults having a planned distal pancreatectomy, and it may help reduce complications after surgery.
ClichyAges 18 years+ - NCT06150690Recruiting
Pancreatic islet study in patients having pancreas surgery
This trial studies pancreatic islets (cells that make insulin) from people who are having part or all of their pancreas removed. It may help researchers learn more about how the pancreas works in health and disease.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07768384Recruiting
At-home rehabilitation after complex pancreatic surgery
This study tests a 4-week intensive rehabilitation program for people who develop serious complications after surgery to remove part or all of the pancreas. The program combines exercise and nutrition to help you recover better at home after leaving the hospital.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07703813Recruiting
Energy use and nutrition after pancreas surgery
This study measures how your body uses energy after pancreas surgery to improve nutrition care. It may help doctors better support your recovery.
Athens, AtticaAges 18–75 - NCT06714604RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing standard vs. longer chemo before pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests whether taking chemotherapy for a longer period before surgery can help people with borderline or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if a longer treatment course leads to better outcomes.
Gothenburg, VGRAges 18–90 - NCT07532590Recruiting
Pancreas Plus: smartphone app for pancreatic cancer monitoring
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help people with pancreatic cancer track their health and receive educational information about their condition. The app asks simple questions regularly and provides supportive content to help you stay informed and connected to your care team.
Pavia, PaviaAges 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+ - NCT07405099Enrolling by invitation
Pancreas surgery risks in kidney failure patients
This study looks at the risks of pancreas surgery in people with end-stage kidney disease (kidney failure). It aims to help doctors understand how safe these surgeries are for patients on dialysis or with kidney problems.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pancreatectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 31 recruiting pancreatectomy 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 pancreatectomy 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 pancreatectomy 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.
