Recruiting studies
- NCT06821997RecruitingPhase 2

This trial is testing a combination of three chemotherapy drugs (NALIRIFOX) given before surgery to shrink borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. The goal is to help make surgery more successful and improve outcomes.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06157671Enrolling by invitation
Testing a new method to find early pancreatic cancer in high-risk people
This study is testing a new imaging method called LINFU® to see if it can find pancreatic cancer early in people who are at higher risk but have no symptoms. If you are at elevated risk for pancreatic cancer and are already getting imaging tests, this study may help improve early detection.

This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (durvalumab and oleclumab) given before surgery to people with pancreatic cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this treatment helps the immune system fight the cancer better.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07683845Recruiting
Using a tumor model to predict chemo response in pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a personalized approach by growing a miniature model of your tumor from a tissue sample. The goal is to see if this model can predict which chemotherapy will work best for you before you start treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05688215RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zimberelimab and quemliclustat with chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial studies how well zimberelimab and quemliclustat work together with standard chemotherapy for people with borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It may help shrink the tumor and make treatment more effective before or around the time surgery is considered for some patients.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07114861RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
KN510713 with mFOLFIRINOX for advanced pancreatic cancer
This study tests a new drug (KN510713) combined with the standard chemotherapy mFOLFIRINOX for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that hasn't had prior chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding the new drug can improve outcomes.

Icaritin plus chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new combination of a plant-based drug (icaritin) and two chemotherapy drugs (AG) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer who have not had treatment before. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06393400RecruitingPhase 1
Stool transplant with chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This study tests if giving patients a stool transplant (also called FMT) in capsules along with their first chemotherapy can help treat advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07252076Recruiting
MRI for detecting hidden liver metastases in pancreatic cancer
This trial uses an MRI scan to look for small liver metastases that may not be visible on a CT scan in people newly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It aims to improve the accuracy of staging before treatment begins.
Alessandria, PiedmontAges 18 years+ - NCT06261359RecruitingPhase 2
CEND-1 plus chemo for first-line pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called CEND-1 combined with standard chemotherapy for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to see if the combination works better than chemo alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04990609RecruitingPhase 2
Study for pancreatic cancer using a biopsy-confirmed treatment approach
This Phase 2 trial is for people with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (a type of pancreatic cancer) confirmed by biopsy. It tests a new treatment strategy after the cancer is diagnosed and considers people who haven’t had certain chemotherapy yet.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06574620Recruiting
Studying tumor DNA and proteins in pancreatic cancer
This study is looking at genetic material and proteins from pancreatic tumors to understand how the cancer responds to treatment. It aims to help doctors choose the best therapies for patients with certain types of pancreatic cancer that can be removed surgically or that have not spread to other organs.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06988150Recruiting
SIBO and weight loss in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at whether a condition called SIBO (too many bacteria in the small intestine) is linked to weight loss in people with pancreatic cancer. You might join if you have pancreatic cancer and have lost weight recently.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06967662Enrolling by invitation
Plasma Adsorption to Prevent Pancreatic Cancer Spread During Surgery
This trial tests whether a special blood-filtering treatment (plasma adsorption to remove extracellular DNA) given during surgery can help prevent pancreatic cancer from spreading. It is for people with non-metastatic pancreatic cancer who are scheduled for surgery.
Moscow, Moscow OblastAges 18–75 - NCT07373691Enrolling by invitation
Scoring system study for advanced pancreatic cancer
This study looks at a scoring system to predict how well people with advanced pancreatic cancer might do after their first chemotherapy. If you have been diagnosed with this type of cancer and are about to start or have just finished your first treatment, this study may be able to use your health information to help guide future care.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06048484RecruitingPhase 2

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 144 recruiting pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (pdac) studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (pdac) trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (pdac) trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
