This trial tests giving chemotherapy before any surgery to people with borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor, which may make surgery more successful and improve outcomes.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05771675RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Simvastatin trial for symptom relief in pancreatitis
This early-phase study tests whether simvastatin can improve patient-reported symptoms in people with recurrent acute or chronic pancreatitis. It’s meant to see if the medicine is tolerable and helps with how you feel day to day.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT05737953Recruiting
Testing a lab test to identify pancreatic cyst tumor type
This study builds a “molecular marker” lab model using pancreatic cyst fluid taken during planned pancreatic surgery. It aims to help tell which pancreatic cystic tumors are which, based on fluid analysis.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05659147Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
MRI study of pancreas function in children with pancreatic issues
This study uses a special pancreas MRI to see how well the pancreas works and how pancreas disease changes over time. It also compares MRI findings in children with different pancreas conditions, including suspected pancreatic insufficiency and episodes of pancreatitis.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 5–21 - NCT05624918RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a tumor-treatment device plus chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial studies NovoTTF-200T(P), a portable treatment device, combined with standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel) for people with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. It aims to improve treatment results by trying this combination before surgery.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05526443Recruiting
Registry study for advanced pancreatic cancer treatment patterns
This registry collects information about people with advanced pancreatic cancer who are receiving first-line palliative treatment. It helps doctors understand which treatment choices are used and how people do over time.
Graz, StyriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05497531Recruiting
Test blood DNA to help guide liver and pancreas biopsies
This pilot study checks whether a special blood test (ctDNA) can detect cancer signals and work as well as another sample method during biopsies for liver, bile duct, or pancreatic cancers. It may help doctors choose the best way to confirm the diagnosis from biopsy samples.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07703813Recruiting
Energy use and nutrition after pancreas surgery
This study measures how your body uses energy after pancreas surgery to improve nutrition care. It may help doctors better support your recovery.
Athens, AtticaAges 18–75 - 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.
Bunkyō-Ku, TokyoAges 18 years+ - NCT05380414Recruiting
Study of advanced pancreatic cancer using tumor tissue profiles
This study looks at advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer patients and uses stored tumor tissue to learn what may predict treatment outcomes. You may be able to join if you have had limited prior chemotherapy and can provide an archived tissue sample.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05356039Recruiting
Study of surgery options and quality of life in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at people with borderline-resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer to see how treatment choices affect survival, quality of life, and whether tumors can be removed by surgery. It may help doctors better predict who can benefit from surgical approaches and what outcomes matter most to patients.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT05160506RecruitingPhase 2
Steroids to treat acute pancreatitis in the ICU
This Phase 2 study tests whether corticosteroids (steroid medicines) can improve outcomes for adults with severe acute pancreatitis in the intensive care unit. It’s meant to see if steroids help when the pancreas inflammation is serious.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–99 - NCT05132244Recruiting
Monitoring blood sugar levels in people starting pancreatic cancer treatment
This study looks at how well blood sugar (glucose) levels can be monitored and managed in people with pancreatic cancer who are starting their first treatment. It aims to understand if careful glucose management can improve well-being and possibly treatment outcomes.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04996628Recruiting
Testing nerve pain signals to guide treatment for chronic pancreatitis pain
This study checks how your nerves respond to controlled touch and temperature tests, to help predict how well you’ll respond to procedures that relieve blockage in the main pancreatic duct. It may help doctors choose the most effective treatment for chronic pancreatitis pain.
