Recruiting studies near San Francisco
- NCT07066657RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MRG007 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MRG007 for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to other treatments. The drug targets a protein called CDH17 on cancer cells; you need a tumor sample to check for it.

Olaparib after pancreatic cancer surgery for BRCA or PALB2 mutations
This trial studies whether olaparib (a targeted cancer medicine) can help prevent pancreatic cancer from coming back after surgery in people with BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 mutations. You would get olaparib or a placebo (inactive pill) and be closely followed to see if recurrence is reduced.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06906562RecruitingPhase 2
Pemigatinib for advanced pancreatic cancer with FGFR changes
This trial tests a targeted pill, pemigatinib, for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific FGFR gene change. The study is done entirely through telemedicine, so you can participate from home if eligible.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06751329RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of DM002 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called DM002 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug targets two proteins (MUC1 and HER3) found on some cancer cells, and may help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06917079RecruitingPhase 1
BBO-11818 for KRAS-mutated cancers
This trial tests a new oral drug (BBO-11818) for people with solid tumors that have a specific KRAS mutation. It's for those whose cancer has spread or cannot be removed by surgery and who have not had other cancers recently.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05746182Recruiting
Genetic testing program for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
This study offers genetic (inherited) testing for people with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms. The goal is to see who may have a genetic predisposition, which can help guide medical care and family risk.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06600906Recruiting
MRI test to predict treatment response in pancreatic cancer
This study is testing a new MRI technique that may help predict how well pancreatic cancer treatments will work. You would receive a special substance (called hyperpolarized pyruvate) during a standard MRI scan.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06084481RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new intravenous drug called ABBV-400 in people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if it can slow or stop tumor growth and to check for side effects.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07252232RecruitingPhase 3
A pill to prevent pancreatic cancer recurrence after surgery
This trial tests an experimental daily pill, daraxonrasib, in people with pancreatic cancer that has been surgically removed. It’s for those who also had chemotherapy and have a specific DNA change called a RAS mutation. The goal is to see if the pill helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07491445RecruitingPhase 3
Daraxonrasib plus chemo for first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new targeted therapy (daraxonrasib) combined with standard chemotherapy as the first treatment for people whose pancreatic cancer has spread. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer better than chemotherapy alone.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04970056Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer risk and early-detection registry study
This study builds a database of people at higher risk for pancreatic cancer (or certain early warning findings) to help find better ways to detect the disease early. You may be asked to complete health questionnaires and possibly donate a blood/saliva/swab sample.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06958328RecruitingPhase 3
Higher dose radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether giving a higher dose of radiation to the pancreas is safe and effective for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer who have already had chemotherapy without progression.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04291651Recruiting
Pancreatic Cyst Registry for Adults With Pancreatic Cysts
This registry study collects information from adults who have a pancreatic cyst (a fluid-filled sac in the pancreas). It may help doctors understand these cysts and how they change over time, which can improve future care.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04239573Recruiting
Compare pancreatic cyst checkup programs and test markers
This study compares different ways to monitor pancreatic cysts and also measures blood or other test markers to see which approach is more helpful. It may help patients by finding the safest, most effective way to track certain cysts that could otherwise be hard to manage.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 50–75 - NCT07033689RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing Suizenji for newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new ultrasound treatment called Suizenji for people with pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if it can safely target the tumor.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Emeryville, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - NCT05040360RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy after surgery for high-risk pancreatic NET tumors
This Phase 2 trial studies whether giving chemotherapy after surgery can lower cancer recurrence risk in people with high-risk pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). It may help you by testing an added treatment after the tumor has been removed.
Emeryville, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07059884Recruiting
Exercise program to help people with cancer stay active
This trial tests a distance-based exercise program designed to help people on chemotherapy maintain their physical function and prevent disability. It is for patients with certain cancers who are working full-time and can participate in moderate physical activity.
Oakland, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06651580Recruiting
Gene study for kids with pancreas problems
This study collects samples like blood or tissue from children with pancreatitis to look for gene changes that might raise their risk. It helps doctors learn more about why some children get pancreas inflammation.
Oakland, CaliforniaAges Up to 17 years - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test study to watch for cancer coming back
This study looks at whether blood tests can detect signs that cancer may return after curative-intent treatment. You would have blood drawn around your usual follow-up visits for up to 5 years, and your de-identified health data would be shared with study investigators.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04981119Recruiting
Test apheresis for CAR T manufacturing in HLA-A2 solid tumors
This trial studies how a process called apheresis is used to make CAR T cells for people with certain solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that have lost a specific immune marker (HLA-A*02), which may affect how well CAR T therapies work.

What taking part in a pancreatic cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
