Gothenburg, VGRAges 18–90 - NCT05128890Recruiting
People who had prior pancreatic or liver surgery
This study looks back at people who previously had surgery to remove part of the pancreas or liver at a specific hospital. It aims to compare different resection (removal) techniques and how patients did afterward.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06519500Recruiting
Growing tumor models from gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor surgery
This study takes tumor tissue from people having surgery for a certain type of gut or pancreas cancer (neuroendocrine tumors). The tissue is used to grow tiny 3D models called organoids in the lab, which can help researchers learn more about the tumor and find better treatments.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06084013Recruiting
Using a green dye to check blood flow during pancreas surgery
This trial tests a green dye called indocyanine green (ICG) that is injected during pancreas surgery to see how well blood flows to the remaining tissue. The goal is to learn if this dye can help predict complications, such as leaks from the pancreas, after surgery.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06737341RecruitingPhase 4
Liposomal vs. Standard Bupivacaine for Pain after Keyhole Abdominal Surgery
This trial tests whether a long-acting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) works better than standard bupivacaine to control pain after keyhole surgery on the liver, bile ducts, or pancreas. It may help you experience less pain and need fewer painkillers after surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT06647264Enrolling by invitation
Study on computer-aided risk prediction for liver and gallbladder surgery
This study uses a computer program to help doctors predict risks and outcomes for patients having laparoscopic liver or gallbladder surgery. It may help improve how doctors plan and manage your care before, during, and after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07098598RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Using FAPI-PET to diagnose pancreatic cancer
This trial uses a special imaging scan called FAPI-PET to help doctors better diagnose pancreatic cancer. If you are suspected of having pancreatic cancer or a recurrence, this study may help confirm or clarify your diagnosis.
TurkuAges 18–85 - NCT03492671RecruitingPhase 2
Two chemotherapy drugs plus radiation before pancreatic surgery
This trial tests whether giving two already-approved chemotherapy drugs and radiation before surgery works better for localized pancreatic cancer. It’s meant for people whose cancer looks removable by surgery and who haven’t had prior pancreatic cancer treatment.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06355206Recruiting
Recurrent acute pancreatitis study and treatment
This trial follows the natural course of recurrent acute pancreatitis and tests how well treatments work for it.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07081360RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo before or after surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial compares two approaches for patients with pancreatic or periampullary cancer that can be surgically removed: getting chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) versus surgery first. It aims to find out which sequence leads to better outcomes.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18–75 - NCT06415643Recruiting
Lab-grown islet cells for diabetes after pancreas surgery
This trial tests whether lab-grown islet cells (pancreatic organoids) can help control blood sugar in people who develop diabetes after having most or all of their pancreas removed. If successful, this could reduce the need for insulin shots.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT05667987Recruiting
Lidocaine to help prevent pancreas inflammation after ERCP
This study tests whether giving lidocaine during an ERCP procedure can lower the risk of a painful complication called pancreatitis. If you’re scheduled for ERCP with a “never-treated” opening, this trial may see if lidocaine helps you avoid post-procedure pancreas inflammation.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06145074RecruitingPhase 2
Testing propranolol before surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests if taking propranolol (a blood pressure medication) before surgery helps treat pancreatic cancer that can be removed. It aims to see if the drug is safe and works well.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06774170Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up program for blood sugar after pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests a structured follow-up program to help manage blood sugar levels after pancreatic cancer surgery (Whipple procedure). It uses a continuous glucose monitor app on your smartphone to track glucose and may help you understand how your body regulates sugar after surgery.
Izmir, Balcova InciraltiAges Any age - NCT07241663Recruiting
Surgery for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial is testing whether surgery can help people with a certain type of pancreatic cancer that is locally advanced but not yet spread. You may join if your cancer has shrunk or stayed stable after at least 4 months of chemotherapy and your medical team thinks surgery is possible.
PadovaAges 18 years+ - NCT05132504RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemotherapy and immunotherapy for operable pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests giving chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) before surgery, to shrink or control potentially removable pancreatic cancer. The goal is to improve outcomes while making sure the cancer can still be safely removed by surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07273409Recruiting
Surgery for advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
This trial tests whether surgically removing as much of the tumor as possible (debulking) is better than not doing surgery for people with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It aims to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07560540Recruiting
