Safety Study of XH001 Injection for High-Risk Recurrent Solid Tumors
This early-stage trial tests a new injection called XH001 as an additional treatment after surgery for patients with high-risk cancers that have come back. The goal is to check if it's safe and whether it helps prevent the cancer from returning again.
BeijingAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT07627711RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-NK cells for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests specially engineered immune cells (CAR-NK cells) designed to find and attack pancreatic cancer cells. The cells target specific proteins on cancer cells and may help people whose cancer has progressed despite prior treatment.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07659639Recruiting
A blood test using light to find pancreatic cancer early
This trial tests a new blood test that uses tiny particles and a laser to find signs of pancreatic cancer earlier. It may help people with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) or intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN), a type of cyst that can become cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (pdac)?
- 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.
