AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT03713879RecruitingPhase 3
Indomethacin vs pancreatic stent to prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis
This study compares indomethacin (an anti-inflammatory medicine) against using a temporary pancreatic stent to prevent pancreatitis after an ERCP procedure. It may help you lower the chance of painful inflammation of the pancreas after ERCP.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–99 - NCT06600906Recruiting
MRI test to predict treatment response in pancreatic cancer
This study is testing a new MRI technique that may help predict how well pancreatic cancer treatments will work. You would receive a special substance (called hyperpolarized pyruvate) during a standard MRI scan.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05843877RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery choice and insulin islet transplant to prevent leaks
This Phase 3 trial studies a pancreatic surgery approach (pylorus-preserving Whipple or similar) and, in some cases, moving your insulin-making cells into your body to help prevent a dangerous post-surgery leak from the pancreas. It may help people who are considered high risk for this complication based on pancreas texture and duct size.
DresdenAges 18 years+ - NCT07080021Recruiting
Tracking ctDNA for Pancreatic Cancer Before Surgery
This study looks at using a special blood test (ctDNA MRD) to track how well the tumor responds to chemotherapy before surgery for pancreatic cancer. It may help doctors decide if the treatment is working and guide next steps.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 40–75 - NCT07409272RecruitingPhase 3
Study of setidegrasib with chemo for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called setidegrasib, given with two types of chemotherapy (mFOLFIRINOX or NALIRIFOX), for people whose pancreatic cancer has spread and has a specific genetic change called KRAS G12D. The goal is to see if adding setidegrasib helps control the cancer better than chemo alone.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05372614RecruitingPhase 1
Testing trastuzumab deruxtecan and neratinib for HER2-positive cancers
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu) and neratinib, for people with solid tumors that have a HER2 gene change. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and works well for cancers that have not responded to at least one prior treatment.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06386224Recruiting
Online pain self-management for pancreatitis pain
This study tests an online pain-management program for adults with chronic or recurrent acute pancreatitis. The program is done on your own device (or a loaner iPad) and is designed to help you learn skills to cope with pain and improve daily life.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT03460769Recruiting
Mixed meal test to study diabetes from pancreas conditions
This study uses a special blood-sugar test (a mixed meal) to better diagnose and understand diabetes related to pancreatic cancer or chronic pancreatitis, and to compare it with other diabetes types. It may help researchers find clearer ways to tell these diabetes causes apart and understand how they work.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 30–84 - NCT03711890Recruiting
Advanced imaging to detect early pancreatic cancer during surgery
This study tests a special high-resolution camera that can see tiny details during pancreatic surgery to help doctors detect early-stage pancreatic cancer or precancerous growths called IPMNs. The goal is to improve how well surgeons can identify and remove diseased tissue.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03807687Recruiting
Registry for people with pancreatic diseases
This is a registry that collects information from people who have a pancreatic disease. It may help doctors better understand different pancreatic conditions and improve future care.
VeronaAges 18 years+ - NCT04146298RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer T-cell therapy for some people
This Phase 1/2 study tests a lab-made immune cell (T-cell) treatment that targets a specific KRAS mutation (G12V) found in some pancreatic cancers. It may help shrink tumors or control cancer growth after standard treatment, and it mainly focuses on safety and early effectiveness.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT04157127RecruitingPhase 1
Pancreatic cancer vaccine with chemotherapy before/around surgery
This early-stage trial tests a personalized immune “vaccine” made from dendritic cells, given alongside standard chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer that may be removable by surgery (resectable or borderline resectable). If it works, it may help your immune system better recognize and attack the cancer around the time of treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05013216RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine trial for people at high risk of pancreatic cancer
This early-phase trial studies a long-peptide vaccine designed for people with certain genetic changes that raise the risk of pancreatic cancer. The goal is to help your immune system recognize and respond to cancer-related changes before cancer develops.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 40 years+ - NCT05083247RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemotherapy plus targeted radiation for borderline pancreatic cancer
This trial studies whether giving chemotherapy before surgery, and possibly adding a focused high-dose radiation treatment, can improve outcomes for people with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. It aims to shrink or control the cancer and help more patients get to surgery safely.
AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT05218889RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Surufatinib plus immunotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies whether a combination of surufatinib and immunotherapy (camrelizumab, plus an “AS” medicine) can slow or shrink advanced pancreatic cancer that has spread. It is for people starting treatment for advanced disease for the first time and may help those who have measurable tumors and meet safety test limits.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT05254171RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Trial adds SBP-101 to standard chemo for pancreatic cancer
This trial studies whether adding SBP-101 to standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel) can improve outcomes in people with metastatic pancreatic cancer. You may be eligible if you have not yet started treatment for metastatic disease and meet other health and test requirements.
Hot Springs, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05334836Recruiting
Scan for fat in the pancreas and link it to cyst features
This study uses scans to measure how common “fatty change” is in the pancreas. It then looks at whether fatty change is related to specific features of pancreatic cysts (and may also include healthy people).
Shatin, New TerritoriesAges 18 years+ - NCT05524090Recruiting
Program to prepare for surgery in locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial studies an “implementation program” to help patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer get ready for the next steps after chemotherapy. It may help improve care planning and outcomes for people whose cancer has not grown after initial treatment.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05725590Recruiting
External pancreatic duct stents after pancreatic surgery
This study tests whether placing an external pancreatic duct stent after pancreaticoduodenectomy can lower the risk of pancreatic leak (pancreatic fistula). If you had this surgery with a specific connection technique, you may be able to help find a safer way to prevent complications.
HangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT05727020Recruiting
Breath test study for pancreatic cancer and related conditions
This study checks whether breathing out certain chemicals (volatile organic compounds) can help identify pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (pancreatic cancer) or related pancreas problems. You may qualify if you’re an adult with suspected/confirmed pancreatic conditions and can safely take part in breath testing or surgery-related tissue collection.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05794048Recruiting
Study of blood and tumor features in liver and pancreatic cancers
This trial looks at a patient’s “metabolic profile” (how the body’s chemicals are used) in people with certain liver and pancreatic tumors. It may help doctors better understand these cancers and improve how they are evaluated for treatment.
