AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT06065891Recruiting
Lymph node removal in pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial studies whether removing extra lymph nodes during surgery for pancreatic cancer can help find if the cancer has spread. It is for patients whose tumor is considered removable or borderline removable.
OdenseAges 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 - NCT05604560RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo before surgery for resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial tests two drugs, tislelizumab and SX-682, given before surgery for people with pancreatic cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06361316Recruiting
Liposomal irinotecan with chemo after pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests a combination of three chemotherapy medicines (liposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and tegafur) given after surgery to remove pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06349278Recruiting
Surgery for pancreatic cancer with limited liver spread after chemo
This trial is for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver (3 spots or fewer). It tests whether removing both the original tumor and the liver spots after a specific chemotherapy (FOLFIRINOX) can be helpful. You may be eligible if the chemo shrinks the tumors enough and you are healthy enough for surgery.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06368063RecruitingPhase 4
Huaier granules after pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a Chinese herbal medicine called Huaier granules works better than standard chemotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer that was removed by surgery. Participants can choose to take Huaier granules or standard chemotherapy, and researchers will compare outcomes.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18–80 - NCT05911217RecruitingPhase 1
CT041 treatment after chemotherapy for resected pancreatic cancer
This Phase 1 study tests whether CT041 is safe and may help prevent pancreatic cancer from coming back after it’s been removed and you’ve completed standard chemotherapy. You may be eligible if your tumor is positive for CLDN18.2 and your recovery and blood tests meet key requirements.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–79 - NCT07817147Recruiting
Microwave ablation treatment for advanced cancer
This study tests a procedure called microwave ablation (using heat to destroy cancer cells) for tumors that are hard to remove with surgery. It aims to see if the procedure is safe and effective when done through a scope in the stomach.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06541340Recruiting
