This study looks at how tiny particles in blood (“exosomes”) carry signals between cells in people having pancreatic surgery. The goal is to understand these signals in different pancreatic conditions and treatment situations, which may help future care.
New York, New YorkAges 18 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.
Greenwood Village, ColoradoAges 19–110 - NCT00830557Recruiting
Share information and donate tissue samples for pancreatic illnesses
This study collects health information and tissue samples from people with pancreatic cancer or other pancreatic conditions. Your participation may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve future care.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04095195Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer risk registry for high-risk families
This study builds a registry of people with a higher-than-average risk of pancreatic cancer, based on family history or inherited gene conditions. If you join the extra imaging follow-up, it helps your care team monitor risk earlier.
Rozzano, MilanAges 18–80 - NCT03311776Recruiting
Study blood and tissue markers in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at “biomarkers” (test signals in tissue or blood) in people with pancreatic cancer. It may help researchers understand the disease better and find ways to predict or track it.
HerlevAges 19 years+ - NCT05916261RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Personalized pancreatic cancer vaccines with pembrolizumab
This early-phase trial tests a personalized cancer vaccine made from your tumor, along with pembrolizumab, to help the immune system attack advanced pancreatic cancer. It may be an option if your cancer has specific immune “targets” and if you meet several health, lab, and infection requirements.
Qionghai, HainanAges 18 years+ - NCT06111274RecruitingPhase 2
ABSK021 for untreated advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called ABSK021 for people with advanced pancreatic cancer who have not received any prior treatment. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04498767Recruiting
Radiation to treat a few metastatic spots in rare cancers
This trial studies whether stereotactic (high-precision) radiation given in a few sessions can control rare cancers that have spread to a small number of sites. It aims to help by treating all known spots while keeping side effects manageable.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT05529940RecruitingPhase 3
FOLFIRINOX around surgery for resectable pancreatic cancer
This trial compares giving chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX before and after surgery versus giving it mainly after surgery for people with resectable pancreatic duct cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by timing the treatment around the operation.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT06711211Recruiting
Digestive cancer registry study
This study collects information from patients with different types of digestive cancers to better understand these diseases and improve future care. It does not test a new treatment, but helps doctors learn more about digestive cancers over time.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT05606523Recruiting
Test gut bacteria treatment for weight loss in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at how changing the gut microbiome (gut bacteria) may help people with pancreatic cancer regain strength and slow or reverse cancer-related weight loss (cachexia). It also studies gut bacteria differences in people with pancreatic cancer who are losing weight versus those whose weight is stable, and in healthy volunteers.
GenevaAges 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+ - NCT06777030Recruiting
Study of exosomes in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at tiny particles called exosomes in pancreatic cancer. Researchers want to understand how exosomes may help the cancer grow, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07478185Recruiting
Prehab before pancreatic cancer surgery
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+ - NCT06427447RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo with or without radiation after pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial compares adding radiation to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone after surgery for pancreatic cancer. It is for people whose cancer had certain high-risk features found during surgery, and who have not yet started additional treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07416240RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Targeted immune cell therapy for Claudin18.2-positive advanced pancreatic cancer
This early-phase trial is testing a new kind of immune cell therapy—dendritic cells and CAR-T cells—that specifically targets a protein called Claudin18.2 on your cancer cells. It is for people with advanced pancreatic cancer who have already tried standard treatments.
Haikou, HainanAges 18–80 - NCT07262567RecruitingPhase 3
New drug vs chemo for KRAS G12D pancreatic cancer
This study tests a new targeted drug, GFH375, against standard chemotherapy for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific genetic change called KRAS G12D. The goal is to see if the new drug works better and has fewer side effects.
