Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05802394Recruiting
Using blood tests to track cancer after pancreatic treatment
This trial studies whether a blood test (ctDNA, a DNA signal from tumors) can help track how pancreatic cancer responds during planned conversion therapy. It may help doctors spot treatment response earlier and guide next steps.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05802407Recruiting
ctDNA blood test monitoring after pancreatic cancer surgery
This study looks at whether a special blood test (ctDNA) can detect tiny amounts of pancreatic cancer left after surgery. It may help doctors monitor who is at higher risk of cancer coming back, so they can tailor follow-up and treatment timing.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04743479Recruiting
AI screening for pancreatic cancer in higher-risk people
This trial uses an artificial-intelligence tool to help detect pancreatic cancer earlier and track people at higher risk. You may be asked to complete questionnaires and have imaging tests like MRI or CT to see how well the approach works.
ShanghaiAges 50–75 - NCT06028724Recruiting
Looking for cancer mutations using a blood test
This study uses a blood test (liquid biopsy) to find genetic changes in advanced solid tumors. It may help doctors choose the right treatment and monitor how well it works over time.
Aviano, PordononeAges 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 - NCT06017284RecruitingPhase 3
Thalidomide for nausea in pancreatic cancer patients
This trial tests whether adding thalidomide to standard chemotherapy can help reduce nausea and vomiting in people with advanced pancreatic cancer. It is for patients who have not yet received any cancer treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05424159Recruiting
Carbon ion radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a type of radiation that uses carbon ions to treat pancreatic cancer that can’t be removed with surgery but has not spread to distant organs. It may help shrink or control the tumor while limiting radiation side effects to nearby organs.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT07173387RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus chemo for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial combines focused radiation with a chemotherapy drug combo to help shrink or control locally advanced pancreatic cancer. If it works, this treatment might make the tumor smaller and improve quality of life.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06151262RecruitingPhase 2
Trilaciclib plus mFOLFIRINOX for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug, trilaciclib, combined with a standard chemotherapy regimen (mFOLFIRINOX) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer who have not yet had treatment. The goal is to see if adding trilaciclib can help reduce side effects and improve how well the treatment works.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06196788RecruitingPhase 2
Artery infusion chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a treatment called transcatheter arterial infusion, where chemotherapy drugs are delivered directly to the tumor through a thin tube in an artery. It's for people with advanced pancreatic cancer who haven't had other treatments yet.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06326736RecruitingEarly Phase 1
mRNA vaccine after surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a personalized mRNA vaccine (made from your tumor's unique markers) combined with standard chemotherapy after surgery for pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if the vaccine can help prevent the cancer from coming back.
