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 - 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+ - NCT07097753Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two surgeries for infected pancreatic necrosis
This trial compares a newer, minimally invasive surgery (MIPPED-C) with standard open surgery (OSN) for treating infected pancreatic necrosis. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07076212RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two chemo combos for advanced pancreatic cancer
This study compares two chemotherapy combinations for people with advanced (locally advanced or metastatic) pancreatic cancer that hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see which combination works better and has fewer side effects.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07080697Recruiting
Spleen removal during pancreas surgery for severe pancreatitis
This trial tests whether removing the spleen during open surgery for infected dead pancreas tissue helps people with a specific type of high blood pressure around the spleen caused by severe pancreatitis. It may lower bleeding risk and improve recovery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07074379Recruiting
Treating painless chronic pancreatitis with stones
This study tests two procedures—endotherapy and shockwave lithotripsy—to break up and remove stones blocking the main pancreatic duct. It aims to relieve duct blockage and prevent complications in people who have painless chronic pancreatitis.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT07049055RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
EDV nanocell therapy with chemo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new targeted therapy (EDV nanocells) combined with two standard chemotherapy drugs for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer. It is for patients whose cancer has progressed after first-line FOLFIRINOX or NALIRIFOX treatment.
El Segundo, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07030348Recruiting
Early detection of pancreatic cancer using fluid from the upper gut
This study collects fluid from the first part of the small intestine (duodenum) during an endoscopy to see if it can help detect pancreatic cancer early. It is for people who already need an endoscopy for medical reasons.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 19 years+ - NCT07022015Recruiting
Predicting pancreatic leak after pancreatic surgery
This trial looks at factors that can predict a serious complication called a pancreatic fistula (a leak from the pancreas) after a Whipple procedure. The goal is to help doctors better understand and manage this risk.
MinyaAges 18–75 - NCT06976099Enrolling by invitation
Studying pancreatitis caused by high triglycerides
This study looks at people with acute pancreatitis caused by very high blood fat levels (triglycerides). It aims to collect information to better understand and treat this condition.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06936800Enrolling by invitation
Pinaverium Bromide to Prevent Pain After Shock Wave Treatment
This trial tests if a drug called pinaverium bromide can help prevent pancreatitis and reduce pain after a procedure that uses shock waves to break up large gallstones in the pancreas. It may be an option for people with chronic pancreatitis and stones that are at least 5 mm wide.
Jinan, Wenhuaxi RoadAges 18–85 - NCT06861088RecruitingPhase 3
Kinisoquin for preventing blood clots in pancreatic cancer
This trial tests whether an investigational drug called Kinisoquin™ can help prevent blood clots in people with advanced pancreatic cancer who are starting their first chemotherapy. It may be a good option if you are looking for extra protection against clots during treatment.
Ventura, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06867120Recruiting
Predicting pancreatitis severity with bowel sounds
This study uses a special device to listen to bowel sounds to help predict how severe acute pancreatitis will be. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to guide treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06843551RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new immunotherapy combo for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial is testing two immunotherapy drugs (balstilimab and botensilimab) to see if they can shrink tumors in people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has worsened after at least one prior treatment. If you have microsatellite stable (MSS) disease, you may be eligible.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06508502Recruiting
Pancreatitis Severity and Gut Bacteria Study
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) might affect the severity of a first-time acute pancreatitis attack. It aims to see if certain gut bacteria can predict how serious the illness will be, which could help doctors treat patients better.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT06807437RecruitingPhase 3
Testing lanreotide before pancreas surgery to prevent leaks
This trial tests if a medicine called lanreotide, given before surgery, can prevent a common complication (pancreatic leak) after removing part of the pancreas. It is for people with pancreatic cancer or a growth that could become cancer who are scheduled for a specific type of pancreas surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06803771Recruiting
Checking pancreas health after a new diabetes diagnosis
This study looks at people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes to check their pancreas health using blood tests and scans. The goal is to find early signs of pancreatic issues, which might help catch problems sooner.

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 - NCT06755359Recruiting
