Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05394259RecruitingPhase 1
PYLARIFY PET-CT scan to find spread in certain cancers
This early study tests whether a special PET-CT scan called PYLARIFY can detect metastasis (cancer spread) more effectively in pancreatic, liver (HCC), and breast cancers. If the scan results change doctors’ treatment plans, it could help you get the right next therapy sooner.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05462496RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus gut microbiome changes after pancreatic chemo
This Phase 2 study tests whether changing the gut microbiome (the gut’s helpful bacteria) and giving pembrolizumab after chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with operable pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if this approach can boost the immune system after standard treatment and help reduce cancer returning.
New York, New YorkAges 19 years+ - NCT05475366Recruiting
Choosing the right first chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a personalized approach to selecting your first chemotherapy based on tumor gene activity. It aims to match treatment to your cancer’s biology to improve outcomes for people with advanced (metastatic) pancreatic cancer.
ClichyAges 18–75 - NCT05518643Recruiting
Testing a stress-reducing recovery plan for pancreatic surgery patients
This trial tests how well a structured hospital recovery plan (called ERAS) works for people having pancreatic surgery. It looks at stress and recovery outcomes to see if patients may do better with this approach.
LarissaAges 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+ - NCT05625529Recruiting
Study blood test to detect pancreatic cancer early
This trial studies how well a new blood-based test may help find pancreatic cancer earlier. You may join if you’re an adult who fits a specific risk group and can safely provide a blood sample.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05663515Recruiting
Checks pancreatic cancer risk after starting exenatide in type 2 diabetes
This study looks at whether starting exenatide (a type 2 diabetes medicine) is linked to a higher or lower risk of pancreatic cancer compared with other similar diabetes medicines. It uses people’s prescription and medical record history to compare risks over time.
CopenhagenAges 18–99 - NCT05687188Recruiting
Study obesity links to pancreatic cancer in specific groups
This study looks at how weight and related body changes may lead to pancreatic tumors, focusing on people who are African American or Non-Hispanic White. It may help researchers better understand why pancreatic cancer risk differs between groups.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05694988Recruiting
Filter blood to reduce inflammation in acute pancreatitis
This trial tests whether using blood “filters” plus high-volume fluid filtration can improve outcomes in adults with acute pancreatitis without infection. It aims to remove inflammatory substances from the blood early, while ensuring you’re stable enough for several hours of treatment.
MoscowAges 18–75 - NCT05714111Recruiting
Registry for pancreatic cancer patients and people being evaluated
This is a research registry that collects information from adults with suspected or diagnosed pancreatic cancer. It may help doctors better understand the disease and improve care over time.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05723107RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an endoscopic treatment for pancreatic cancer that can't be removed
This early-phase trial is testing a new endoscopic (from inside the stomach) approach for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that is locally advanced and cannot be removed with surgery. It may help some people who have already tried first chemotherapy and still have a tumor confined to the pancreas area (no spread).
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05724992Recruiting
Study genetic testing in families at pancreatic cancer risk
This program invites people whose families are followed in a pancreatic cancer registry to do a saliva swab genetic test. It helps researchers learn how to identify genetic risk in families and may guide future care.
VeronaAges 18–80 - NCT05733130Recruiting
Registry study for chronic pancreatitis symptoms
This study keeps a medical registry of people with chronic pancreatitis (long-term pancreas inflammation), starting soon after the diagnosis. It helps doctors better understand how the condition begins and progresses in real life.
MilanAges 12 years+ - NCT05746182Recruiting
Genetic testing program for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
This study offers genetic (inherited) testing for people with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms. The goal is to see who may have a genetic predisposition, which can help guide medical care and family risk.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05764720Recruiting
Personalized targeted radiation for borderline pancreatic cancer
This study tests a personalized form of stereotactic radiation therapy (high-precision radiation planned to fit your tumor) after you’ve had some chemotherapy. It aims to treat pancreatic tumors while limiting exposure to nearby healthy organs.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05766748RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Azeliragon trial for pancreatic cancer after prior treatments failed
