Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - 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+ - NCT04048278RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Lidocaine IV infusion for pancreatic cancer treatment
This early-phase study tests whether giving lidocaine through an IV infusion can help treat pancreatic cancer. It will enroll people with confirmed pancreatic cancer that can be measured on scans, including some cases discovered to have spread during surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04406831Recruiting
Testing microRNA for pancreatic cancer diagnosis and treatment response
This study looks at tiny molecules in your body (microRNA) to help doctors better diagnose pancreatic cancer, predict how it may progress, and understand how it responds to treatment. It may help guide more personalized care in the future.
Norwalk, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04789486RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MR-guided radiation plus nanoparticles for central lung or pancreatic tumors
This early-phase study tests a new way to deliver focused radiation using MRI guidance and tiny particles, aiming to treat certain central lung tumors or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It’s designed to see how safe it is and how well it can control these tumors.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04894643Recruiting
Pre-surgery proton radiation plus chemo for borderline pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether giving proton radiation and chemotherapy before surgery can shrink or control “borderline resectable” pancreatic cancer so it can be removed more effectively. It may help by improving treatment response while planning for surgery afterward.
Wiener Neustadt, Lower AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT04969731RecruitingPhase 3
Immune cell therapy plus gemcitabine after pancreas surgery
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding an immune cell therapy (Immuncell-LC) to the standard chemotherapy drug gemcitabine helps people with resectable pancreatic cancer after surgery. It aims to improve safety and outcomes like preventing the cancer from coming back.
Seoul, Daehak-ro, Jongno-guAges 19–80 - NCT05013216RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine trial for people at high risk of pancreatic cancer
This early-phase trial studies a long-peptide vaccine designed for people with certain genetic changes that raise the risk of pancreatic cancer. The goal is to help your immune system recognize and respond to cancer-related changes before cancer develops.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 40 years+ - NCT05052671Recruiting
Blood test for residual cancer in resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial studies a blood test that looks for tiny traces of cancer-related DNA (called ctDNA) in people with pancreatic cancer that can be removed with surgery. The goal is to see whether this test can better predict how the cancer behaves and guide treatment decisions around surgery.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–99 - NCT05083247RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemotherapy plus targeted radiation for borderline pancreatic cancer
This trial studies whether giving chemotherapy before surgery, and possibly adding a focused high-dose radiation treatment, can improve outcomes for people with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. It aims to shrink or control the cancer and help more patients get to surgery safely.
AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT05093231RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus olaparib for stage 4 pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether combining pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) with olaparib (a DNA-repair drug) can work better for people with metastatic (stage 4) pancreatic cancer. It targets tumors with certain lab marker results and aims to improve control of cancer growth.
MelbourneAges 18 years+ - NCT05132244Recruiting
Checking and treating blood sugar in pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a plan to monitor and manage blood sugar in people with pancreatic ductal cancer who are starting a specific chemotherapy regimen (FOLFIRINOX). The goal is to prevent or address high blood sugar during treatment, which may help people stay on therapy safely.
