CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06245330RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AST-001 for advanced solid tumors
This trial is testing a new drug called AST-001 for people with advanced solid tumors (including pancreatic cancer) that have not responded to standard treatments. The study aims to find the right dose and see how well the drug works.
Changchun, JinlinAges 18–70 - NCT06359275RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for locally advanced or recurrent pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (PD-1), chemotherapy, and a special type of radiation called PULSAR for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer or cancer that has come back only in the pancreas area. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors or keep them from growing.
ShanhaiAges 18–75 - NCT06427460RecruitingPhase 2
Focused radiation therapy for solid tumors
This trial tests a special type of radiation that delivers a higher dose to the center of the tumor while limiting radiation to nearby healthy organs. It's for people with certain solid tumors that haven't spread widely or have only a few metastases.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06478225Recruiting
Cell therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy (BGT007H) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has not responded to earlier treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help shrink or control the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06499792Recruiting
Nerve block for pain after pancreatic surgery
This trial looks at whether adding a nerve block (TAP block) to spinal anesthesia can reduce pain and the need for opioids after surgery to remove part of the pancreas (Whipple procedure). If you are scheduled for this type of surgery, this approach might help your recovery.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06539806Recruiting
Losartan for pancreatic cancer with high blood pressure
This trial tests if adding losartan (a blood pressure medicine) to standard chemotherapy helps people with advanced pancreatic cancer. It is for patients who also have high blood pressure.
TantaAges 50–85 - NCT06578052Recruiting
Irinotecan liposome with capecitabine for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (irinotecan liposome and capecitabine) for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery and has gotten worse after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help slow the disease.
