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.
Rome, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT04926467RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus anakinra for pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding anakinra (an immune signal blocker) to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes for some people with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. It’s mainly for adults with stage I–III disease who have enough organ function and are able to come in for treatment and follow-up.
Dallas, TexasAges 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+ - NCT06562192RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a radioactive drug for advanced pancreatic, lung, breast, and colorectal cancers
This trial tests a new radioactive drug (177Lu-NNS309) for people with advanced pancreatic, lung, breast, or colorectal cancer that has not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if the drug can target and shrink tumors.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–100 - NCT06666803Recruiting
Personalized profile of pancreatic tumors from biopsy samples
This study will take a close-up look at your pancreatic tumor by using a sample from a biopsy to create a personal profile. The goal is to understand your cancer better and maybe find the best treatment for you.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06659705RecruitingPhase 2
New PET scan for early pancreatic cancer detection
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special tracer (FAPI) to get clearer images of pancreatic cancer. The goal is to find cancer earlier and better plan surgery or treatment.
Saint-CloudAges 18 years+ - NCT06756074RecruitingPhase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 225 recruiting pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma 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 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 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.
