Recruiting studies
- NCT06937996Recruiting
NanoKnife treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies a procedure called NanoKnife IRE for pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed surgically after standard chemotherapy or radiation. It uses electric pulses to destroy tumor cells and may be an option for patients who have completed other treatments.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06478459RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-NK cell injection for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new treatment where CAR-NK cells are injected directly into the pancreatic tumor using an endoscope. It is designed for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has come back or cannot be removed by surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07386704Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Nimotuzumab with chemo and radiation for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests adding nimotuzumab (a targeted antibody) to standard chemoradiation for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06503497RecruitingEarly Phase 1
NK cell therapy for pancreatic cancer after standard treatment
This trial tests a new therapy using your own immune cells (NK cells) that are specially trained to find and attack cancer cells. It is for people with pancreatic cancer that has not responded to previous treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT07575191RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Novel Catheter for Direct Gemcitabine Delivery in Pancreatic Cancer
This trial tests a new catheter system that delivers gemcitabine (a chemotherapy drug) directly into pancreatic tumors. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and works better than standard intravenous chemotherapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be surgically removed.
SolnaAges 18 years+ - NCT06605430RecruitingPhase 2
Medical cannabis for advanced pancreatic and colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether medical cannabis can help reduce nausea, vomiting, appetite loss, wasting, and pain in people with advanced pancreatic or colorectal cancer who are starting chemotherapy. It's for Minnesota residents only.
Saint Louis Park, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06388967Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer detection study
This study is looking at blood or tissue samples from people with pancreatic cancer and from those without it. The goal is to find ways to detect the cancer earlier.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 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 - NCT05524090Recruiting
Program to prepare for surgery in locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies an “implementation program” to help patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer get ready for the next steps after chemotherapy. It may help improve care planning and outcomes for people whose cancer has not grown after initial treatment.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05841420RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-intensity chemo for fragile pancreatic cancer patients
This Phase 2 trial compares a standard gemcitabine approach versus a reduced-dose combination chemotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer that can’t be removed by surgery. It aims to find a treatment that works while being safer for “fragile” patients who can’t tolerate full-dose chemotherapy.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT06160323Recruiting
Pain block for inoperable pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether an early nerve block during endoscopy can better control pain from pancreatic cancer compared to waiting and using standard treatments.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07696572Recruiting
Testing a new device for EUS procedures
This trial is studying a new tool called the RIVOS™ EUS access device, which is used during a type of internal ultrasound called endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). The goal is to see how well it works for people who need this procedure.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06756035RecruitingPhase 1
Testing CT-95 in advanced cancers with mesothelin
This trial tests a new drug (CT-95) for advanced cancers that have a marker called mesothelin. It's an early-phase study to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06840067Recruiting
Carbon ion radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new type of radiation called carbon ion therapy for people with advanced pancreatic cancer (stages III–IV) that has spread or can't be removed by surgery. It's combined with standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus nituzumab) to see if it can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Wuwei, GansuAges 18–80 - NCT06850753Recruiting
En bloc removal of liver and pancreas with transplant for bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new surgical approach that removes the liver, pancreas, and bile duct all at once (and then gives a liver transplant) for people with a type of bile duct cancer that cannot be removed with standard surgery. It may help people whose cancer is limited to the liver area and who have not responded to other treatments.
OsloAges 18–70 - NCT07066995RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Dual-target CAR-T cell therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy (CAR-T) that targets two markers on pancreatic cancer cells. It's for people with advanced pancreatic cancer who have already tried standard chemotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 21–90 - NCT07219238RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
PET scan for cancer spread in the abdomen
This trial tests a new PET/CT scan using a special tracer to detect cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal carcinomatosis) in people with colorectal, stomach, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if this scan is better at finding the spread than standard imaging.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07481383RecruitingPhase 1
Implant device for chemo delivery in advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests an implantable device that delivers chemotherapy (gemcitabine) directly to pancreatic tumors. It may offer a new treatment option for people with non-metastatic, advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be surgically removed.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07600268RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus maintenance drugs for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether adding a focused radiation treatment (SBRT) to ongoing chemotherapy drugs works better than the drugs alone for pancreatic cancer that has stabilized or shrunk after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination approach helps patients live longer.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–70 - NCT04570943RecruitingPhase 2
Pancreatic cancer treatment: chemo first, then targeted MRI-guided radiation
This Phase 2 trial tests giving specific chemotherapy in sequence, then using MRI-guided focused radiation to treat locally advanced, non-removable pancreatic cancer. It may help shrink or control the tumor while aiming radiation more precisely using MRI.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pancreatic cancer non-resectable?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 22 recruiting pancreatic cancer non-resectable 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 pancreatic cancer non-resectable 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 pancreatic cancer non-resectable 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.
