DaRT radiation plus chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new type of radiation called DaRT (Alpha DaRT) combined with standard chemotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer that is locally advanced or has spread. The goal is to see if adding this radiation treatment can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18–120 - 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+ - NCT06691893RecruitingPhase 3
RELiZORB for pancreatic insufficiency in tube-fed pancreatitis
This study tests whether the RELiZORB device (which helps digest fat in tube feedings) can improve symptoms for patients with pancreatitis and pancreatic enzyme insufficiency who are in the hospital and rely on a feeding tube for most of their nutrition.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06553651Recruiting
Freezing tool to remove dead pancreas tissue
This trial tests a new freezing tool to remove dead tissue from the pancreas after acute pancreatitis. It might help you if you have a large, painful collection of dead tissue that needs to be cleaned out through a tube down your throat.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06477159RecruitingPhase 4
Enzyme replacement for acute pancreatitis recovery
This trial tests whether a pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) can help people who still have digestive problems after a recent episode of acute pancreatitis. The goal is to see if it improves symptoms like stomach pain, bloating, or diarrhea.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06384560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Triple therapy before surgery for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) before surgery for pancreatic cancer that can be removed. It aims to see if this triple therapy helps shrink tumors and improve survival.
AmsterdamAges 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+ - NCT06278454RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive injection for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new radioactive injection called NRT6008 for people with pancreatic cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It aims to see if the treatment can shrink the tumor and improve survival.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–80 - NCT06283576Enrolling by invitation
Pancreatic cancer early detection with blood test
This trial studies a blood test to find pancreatic cancer early. It may help people who are at risk or have suspicious signs.
StockholmAges 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT03334708Recruiting
Blood test study for pancreatic cancer
This study looks at blood tests to find markers that may help detect and monitor pancreatic cancer. It compares people with pancreatic cancer to those with benign pancreatic conditions and healthy volunteers.
Middletown, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05451901Recruiting
Direct surgery versus step-by-step drainage for walled pancreatic infection
This study compares two ways to treat a pancreatic infection pocket (walled-off necrosis): removing dead/infected tissue right away versus starting with drainage and escalating if needed. It may help find the safest, most effective approach for getting the infection under control.
