Recruiting studies
- NCT05518903RecruitingPhase 2
Scan test to see tumor-support cells in pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a special imaging scan (a PET/CT with a tracer called 68Ga-FAPI-46) to look at “cancer-support” cells in people with localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. It may help doctors better understand the tumor and how it responds before surgery after initial treatment.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05365581RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for stomach and pancreatic cancers with lab-checked targets
This Phase 1 trial tests ASP2138 alone or with other cancer medicines in adults with stomach (including GEJ) or pancreatic cancer. You may be eligible if your tumor has a specific protein marker and your health tests and scan results meet safety requirements.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04875325Enrolling by invitation
Monitoring for pancreatic cancer coming back after surgery
This study looks at a standardized plan for check-ups to detect pancreatic cancer returning after surgery. It may help find recurrence earlier and guide what follow-up care you might need next.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT03977233RecruitingPhase 2
Biopsies and FOLFIRINOX for non-metastatic pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at different types (subtypes) of pancreatic tumors in people treated with FOLFIRINOX, a chemotherapy. It requires tumor biopsies before and after treatment to see how the tumor changes, which may help doctors better match treatments in the future.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT04150042RecruitingPhase 1
Test of chemotherapy plus your own stem cells for metastatic cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a treatment approach using standard chemotherapy along with stem cells taken from you to treat metastatic pancreatic or breast cancer. It is mainly designed to check safety and find the best way to give the treatment, and it may offer an option for people whose cancer has spread.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04157127RecruitingPhase 1
Pancreatic cancer vaccine with chemotherapy before/around surgery
This early-stage trial tests a personalized immune “vaccine” made from dendritic cells, given alongside standard chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer that may be removable by surgery (resectable or borderline resectable). If it works, it may help your immune system better recognize and attack the cancer around the time of treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04005690RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Targeted drug treatment for pancreatic cancer using pathway changes
This early-phase trial tests how well targeted medicines (and possibly an immunotherapy drug) work for people with pancreatic cancer that can’t be fully removed with surgery or has spread. It also looks at whether the treatment is safe and can shrink or control tumors by blocking specific cancer pathways.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT03608631RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Exosome treatment for KRAS-mutated metastatic pancreatic cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests an investigational treatment made from “exosomes” for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer that has a specific KRAS mutation (KRAS G12D). It aims to see if this treatment can control the cancer and is safe for patients whose cancer has grown or stayed the same after prior chemotherapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04926467RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus anakinra for pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding anakinra (an immune signal blocker) to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes for some people with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. It’s mainly for adults with stage I–III disease who have enough organ function and are able to come in for treatment and follow-up.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05356039Recruiting
Study of surgery options and quality of life in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at people with borderline-resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer to see how treatment choices affect survival, quality of life, and whether tumors can be removed by surgery. It may help doctors better predict who can benefit from surgical approaches and what outcomes matter most to patients.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT07262957RecruitingPhase 4
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+ - NCT07259317RecruitingPhase 2
Relacorilant plus chemo for metastatic pancreatic cancer
This trial tests adding a drug called relacorilant to standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine) for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if this combination works better than chemo alone.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06988150Recruiting
SIBO and weight loss in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at whether a condition called SIBO (too many bacteria in the small intestine) is linked to weight loss in people with pancreatic cancer. You might join if you have pancreatic cancer and have lost weight recently.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06896188RecruitingPhase 1
Study of 9-ING-41 and retifanlimab plus chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two experimental drugs (9-ING-41 and retifanlimab) plus a standard chemotherapy regimen (modified FOLFIRINOX) for people with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer who have not yet received treatment for their advanced disease. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06790602RecruitingPhase 2
Cemiplimab plus gemcitabine for metastatic pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (cemiplimab) and chemotherapy (gemcitabine) for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. It is for those whose tumors have specific genetic changes (in the SWI/SNF genes) and have only had one prior treatment that was not immunotherapy.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06229496RecruitingPhase 1
Study of GAS for newly diagnosed advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests an oral medication called GAS in people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, who have not yet received any treatment for metastatic disease. The goal is to find the best dose and see how well it works.
Chiayi CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06041009Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer screening with a new enzyme test
This study is testing if measuring a substance called elastase-1, along with standard tests, can help find pancreatic cancer earlier. It may benefit people who already have signs of pancreatic disease or are at high risk.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06261359RecruitingPhase 2
CEND-1 plus chemo for first-line pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called CEND-1 combined with standard chemotherapy for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to see if the combination works better than chemo alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07627711RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
