This trial tests a pre-surgery exercise program (prehab) for people with pancreatic cancer who plan to have chemotherapy first. The goal is to see if getting stronger before surgery helps with recovery.
Worester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07504471RecruitingPhase 2
Bicarbonate plus chemo and immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer liver spread
This trial tests adding sodium bicarbonate to a chemotherapy plus immunotherapy regimen for pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improves outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05065801RecruitingPhase 2
New metastatic pancreatic cancer: targeted chemo before FOLFIRINOX
This trial tests whether adding Gembrax (a combination that includes gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel) before standard FOLFIRINOX works better than FOLFIRINOX alone in people with pancreatic cancer that has already spread. It looks at whether this “step-up first” approach improves results and is still tolerable.
Grenoble, Auvergne-Rhône-AlpesAges 18–75 - NCT05184790Recruiting
Using imaging during radiation therapy to improve AI planning
This study tests how well an artificial intelligence system can use special X-ray images taken during certain radiation treatments to improve care. You may qualify if you’re having radiation for specific conditions and your treatment center uses the required imaging steps.
Saint Leonards, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06648434RecruitingPhase 1
MK2 inhibitor plus mFOLFIRINOX for metastatic pancreatic cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called zunsemetinib (an MK2 inhibitor) combined with a standard chemotherapy regimen (mFOLFIRINOX) for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07030348Recruiting
Early detection of pancreatic cancer using fluid from the upper gut
This study collects fluid from the first part of the small intestine (duodenum) during an endoscopy to see if it can help detect pancreatic cancer early. It is for people who already need an endoscopy for medical reasons.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 19 years+ - NCT07595172RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug combination for advanced pancreatic cancer
This study tests whether combining three treatments—NALIRIFOX (chemotherapy), Adebrelimab (an immune-boosting antibody), and PULSAR (radiation)—can help people with advanced pancreatic cancer that hasn't been treated before. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard care.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07157033RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing XER-001 with radiation for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new way to deliver a drug called amifostine (XER-001) alongside intense radiation therapy (SBRT) for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that can't be surgically removed. The goal is to see if it's safe and effective at protecting healthy tissue while targeting the tumor.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04276857Recruiting
Chemo plus a local treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This study looks at how well combining standard chemo with a targeted local treatment works for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It may help control the cancer in the area of origin and improve outcomes compared with chemo alone.
Regina, SaskatchewanAges Any age - NCT06387810RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo before and after surgery for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (irinotecan liposome, 5-FU, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin) given before and after surgery for people with pancreatic cancer that is on the border of being removable. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–110 - NCT06494514Recruiting
New chemo combo with immunotherapy and radiation for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial compares two different chemotherapy combinations, each paired with immunotherapy and radiation, as the first treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It aims to see which combination works better.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05653453RecruitingPhase 3
Tumor treatment device plus chemo for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether a home-wearable tumor-treating device (Tumor Treating Fields) combined with gemcitabine and albumin-bound paclitaxel works better as first treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It may help by targeting cancer cells while also using standard chemotherapy.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–75 - NCT06497777Recruiting
DNA nanomachine blood test for pancreatic cancer diagnosis
This trial uses a tiny DNA-based machine to detect tumor signals in your blood. It aims to improve how doctors diagnose pancreatic cancer, especially at an early stage.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07438106RecruitingPhase 2
HRS-4642 with chemo to shrink pancreatic cancer before surgery
This trial tests a new drug, HRS-4642, combined with a two-drug chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine) for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that has not spread. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough so it can be surgically removed.
NanjingAges 18–75 - NCT06910657RecruitingPhase 1
IDOV-Immune vaccine for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental virus-based treatment for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies. The treatment is designed to infect and destroy cancer cells while boosting the immune system.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04157127RecruitingPhase 1
Pancreatic cancer vaccine with chemotherapy before/around surgery
This early-stage trial tests a personalized immune “vaccine” made from dendritic cells, given alongside standard chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer that may be removable by surgery (resectable or borderline resectable). If it works, it may help your immune system better recognize and attack the cancer around the time of treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04588025Recruiting
MRI study using a special model to measure pancreatic cancer response
This study tests a new, harmless “disposable” setup for MRI scans to measure how pancreatic cancer treatments affect the body. It may help doctors get more accurate MRI measurements, so treatment response can be assessed better.
Columbus, OhioAges 19 years+ - NCT04858009RecruitingPhase 2
Warm chemotherapy placed in the belly for pancreatic cancer spread
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment that warms chemotherapy and delivers it directly into the abdomen to treat pancreatic cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly (peritoneum). You may be eligible if you completed earlier chemotherapy and your body shows signs the cancer is responding, with limited spread in the abdomen.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT05914987Recruiting
Personalized treatment approach for pancreatic cancer patients
This trial studies how doctors choose individualized cancer treatment for people with pancreatic cancer. It may help them learn which treatment choices work best for different patients.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06166147Recruiting
Blood test for early detection of pancreatic cancer
This study is testing a new blood test to find pancreatic cancer early. It looks for tiny bits of cancer DNA floating in your blood, which could help catch the disease before symptoms start.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 40–75 - NCT06943521RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MT-4561 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MT-4561 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
