AI system for diagnosing solid pancreatic lesions via endoscopy
This trial is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) system that helps doctors identify solid masses in the pancreas using images from a special endoscope (endoscopic ultrasound). The goal is to see if the AI can make a more accurate diagnosis than the standard approach.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT05006131Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer screening for people at higher risk
This study looks at how to screen the pancreas in people who are at increased risk for pancreatic cancer, using a set of risk guidelines. Screening may help find cancer (or early changes) sooner, when it may be easier to treat.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT06814249Enrolling by invitation
Pancreatic stump ligation after distal pancreatectomy study
This study looks at a specific surgical technique for closing the remaining part of the pancreas after a distal pancreatectomy (removal of the tail or body). It aims to see if a special ligation method can improve outcomes. You may be able to join if you are planning this surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07096362RecruitingPhase 2
Using a blood test to guide treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether a blood test that detects tumor DNA can help doctors decide early if the standard chemotherapy is working, and if switching treatment might be better. It is for people newly diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer who are starting their first chemotherapy.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07074379Recruiting
Treatments for painless chronic pancreatitis
This study tests whether a procedure using a scope (endotherapy) or shock waves to break up stones can help people with painless chronic pancreatitis who have not had these treatments before.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06944587Recruiting
Personalized care for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial is testing a new way to treat pancreatic cancer that has spread to nearby tissues but not to distant organs. It uses a tailored plan that may include chemotherapy and possibly surgery. The goal is to see if this personalized approach helps people live longer and better.
Bergen, NorwayAges 18 years+ - NCT06605430RecruitingPhase 2
Medical cannabis for advanced pancreatic and colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether medical cannabis can help reduce nausea, vomiting, appetite loss, wasting, and pain in people with advanced pancreatic or colorectal cancer who are starting chemotherapy. It's for Minnesota residents only.
Saint Louis Park, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT02647177Recruiting
Blood and cyst fluid study for pancreatic cyst conditions
This study looks for “biomarkers,” or measurable lab signals, in blood and (when available) cyst fluid to understand pancreatic cyst problems and related conditions. It may help doctors better predict what these conditions are and how to manage them.
Houston, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT04708288Recruiting
Study of a dissolving bile-duct stent
This study tests a new type of stent that dissolves over time for the bile or pancreatic duct. It aims to see if the stent is safe and works well.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT07324096Recruiting
Screening for pancreatic cancer in people with new diabetes
This study screens people with recent diabetes who are at high risk for pancreatic cancer. It uses a CT scan to find cancer early, when it may be easier to treat.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 50–85 - NCT07241676Enrolling by invitation
Pancreatic cancer surgery and early recurrence study
This study looks at patients who had surgery to remove pancreatic cancer to understand what factors might lead to the cancer coming back early. If you have had surgery for pancreatic cancer and are interested in helping researchers learn more, this may be a fit.
