Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05802407Recruiting
ctDNA blood test monitoring after pancreatic cancer surgery
This study looks at whether a special blood test (ctDNA) can detect tiny amounts of pancreatic cancer left after surgery. It may help doctors monitor who is at higher risk of cancer coming back, so they can tailor follow-up and treatment timing.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05802394Recruiting
Using blood tests to track cancer after pancreatic treatment
This trial studies whether a blood test (ctDNA, a DNA signal from tumors) can help track how pancreatic cancer responds during planned conversion therapy. It may help doctors spot treatment response earlier and guide next steps.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05827796RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing IN10018 plus chemo with an added antibody in pancreatic cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a new medicine (IN10018) and a specific added antibody (KN046) together with standard chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer. It aims to see whether this combination can better control the cancer and how safely it can be given.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05859750RecruitingPhase 2
AK104 plus chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests AK104 (an antibody medicine) given with standard chemotherapy as the first treatment for advanced pancreatic ductal cancer. It aims to see whether this combination works better and is safe for people with cancer that has spread or is advanced.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05911217RecruitingPhase 1
CT041 treatment after chemotherapy for resected pancreatic cancer
This Phase 1 study tests whether CT041 is safe and may help prevent pancreatic cancer from coming back after it’s been removed and you’ve completed standard chemotherapy. You may be eligible if your tumor is positive for CLDN18.2 and your recovery and blood tests meet key requirements.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–79 - NCT05975593Recruiting
Study how radiation affects tumor biology in cervical or pancreatic cancer
This study looks at how radiotherapy changes the tumor environment, using lab samples collected during treatment. It may help researchers understand why radiation works differently for different people and could improve future treatment planning.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06017284RecruitingPhase 3
Thalidomide for nausea in pancreatic cancer patients
This trial tests whether adding thalidomide to standard chemotherapy can help reduce nausea and vomiting in people with advanced pancreatic cancer. It is for patients who have not yet received any cancer treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06018896RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin C for late-stage pancreatic cancer quality of life
This trial is testing if high-dose vitamin C can improve quality of life for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has continued to grow after two previous treatments. It aims to see if vitamin C can help patients feel better and possibly slow the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06026943Recruiting
Alpha radiation therapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
