Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT07562152RecruitingPhase 3
Atebimetinib Plus Gemcitabine/Nab-Paclitaxel for New Pancreatic Cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—atebimetinib (a new targeted therapy), gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel (two standard chemotherapy drugs)—as a first treatment for pancreatic cancer that has spread beyond the pancreas. The goal is to see if adding atebimetinib helps patients live longer and feel better.
Columbia, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07621718RecruitingPhase 3
Zoldonrasib plus chemotherapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer with KRAS mutation
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called zoldonrasib to standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone for pancreatic cancer that has spread and has a specific KRAS G12D mutation. The goal is to see if this combination helps patients live longer and control their cancer better.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06172478RecruitingPhase 2
HER3-DXd for advanced solid tumors after prior treatment
This trial tests a new targeted drug called HER3-DXd for people with several types of advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, designed to deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells that have a protein called HER3 on their surface.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 40–75 - NCT06411691RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine plus immunotherapy for KRAS-mutant cancers
This trial tests a cancer vaccine designed to target KRAS-mutated tumors, combined with two immunotherapy drugs, for people with advanced colorectal or pancreatic cancer. It may help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07409272RecruitingPhase 3
Study of setidegrasib with chemo for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called setidegrasib, given with two types of chemotherapy (mFOLFIRINOX or NALIRIFOX), for people whose pancreatic cancer has spread and has a specific genetic change called KRAS G12D. The goal is to see if adding setidegrasib helps control the cancer better than chemo alone.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07349537RecruitingPhase 1
Study of RMC-5127 for advanced KRAS G12V-mutant solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called RMC-5127 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific KRAS G12V mutation. The study aims to see if this targeted therapy can help when other treatments have stopped working or caused side effects.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06782932RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Vaccine and Immunotherapy for Removable Pancreatic Cancer
This trial tests two different vaccines (GVAX and a mKRAS vaccine) given before and after surgery for pancreatic cancer. Both vaccines are combined with immunotherapy drugs to help your immune system fight the cancer. The goal is to see which vaccine works better and is safe for patients whose tumors can be removed.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06941857RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (NC410 plus chemotherapy and nivolumab, with or without ipilimumab) for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer who haven't had treatment yet. The goal is to see if adding these immunotherapy agents can help shrink or control the tumor.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06958328RecruitingPhase 3
Testing higher dose radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests if a higher dose of radiation therapy can help people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer after they've had 4–6 months of chemotherapy. It aims to improve cancer control without significantly increasing side effects.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06998940RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy with or without panitumumab for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether adding a targeted drug called panitumumab to standard chemotherapy can help people with a certain type of pancreatic cancer that has spread. It is for patients whose tumors do not have a KRAS mutation and who have already had one line of chemotherapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07186296Recruiting
Emerald blood test study for new cancer diagnosis
This study is testing a blood test that looks for signs of lung, breast, colorectal, pancreatic, or ovarian cancer. If you have just been told you might have one of these cancers and haven't started treatment yet, this study may be an option to help learn more about your cancer from a simple blood draw.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 45 years+ - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Randallstown, MarylandAges 19–110 - NCT02830724RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T therapy using blood immune cells for CD70 cancers
This trial tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (CAR T) built from your own blood lymphocytes. It targets cancers that show a marker called CD70, aiming to slow or stop the cancer when other treatments didn’t work.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT05600933Enrolling by invitation
Providing tumor samples to find new treatment targets
This study collects tumor tissue and related blood tests from people who already need a biopsy or surgery as part of their usual care. Researchers use the samples to learn what drives the tumor and how the tumor environment may affect treatment, which could help develop future therapies.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03652428RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Proton radiation plus two chemo drugs for unresectable pancreatic cancer
This trial tests how safe and effective nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine chemo is when paired with proton radiation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It may help shrink the tumor and improve local control.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT01174121RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy made from your tumor-fighting immune cells
This trial tests a treatment made from your own immune cells (called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, or TILs) for certain metastatic cancers. It’s designed for people whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments and who can safely provide a small tumor sample for cell-making.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT03190941RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
T-cell therapy for HLA-A11:01 and KRAS G12V tumors
This trial tests a custom immune-cell treatment made from your blood that targets the KRAS G12V change in certain cancers. It is for people with advanced cancer who have already tried standard treatments, and it may help your immune system recognize and attack tumor cells.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02886247Recruiting
Personal or family history of pancreatic tumors registry study
This study is building a registry (a secure list) of people who have had pancreatic tumors or have close family members who have had them. Your information can help researchers learn more and plan future studies for pancreatic cancer.

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.
