Recruiting studies
- NCT05365581RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for stomach and pancreatic cancers with lab-checked targets
This Phase 1 trial tests ASP2138 alone or with other cancer medicines in adults with stomach (including GEJ) or pancreatic cancer. You may be eligible if your tumor has a specific protein marker and your health tests and scan results meet safety requirements.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04789486RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MR-guided radiation plus nanoparticles for central lung or pancreatic tumors
This early-phase study tests a new way to deliver focused radiation using MRI guidance and tiny particles, aiming to treat certain central lung tumors or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It’s designed to see how safe it is and how well it can control these tumors.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03977233RecruitingPhase 2
Biopsies and FOLFIRINOX for non-metastatic pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at different types (subtypes) of pancreatic tumors in people treated with FOLFIRINOX, a chemotherapy. It requires tumor biopsies before and after treatment to see how the tumor changes, which may help doctors better match treatments in the future.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - 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+ - NCT04005690RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Targeted drug treatment for pancreatic cancer using pathway changes
This early-phase trial tests how well targeted medicines (and possibly an immunotherapy drug) work for people with pancreatic cancer that can’t be fully removed with surgery or has spread. It also looks at whether the treatment is safe and can shrink or control tumors by blocking specific cancer pathways.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT07241663Recruiting
Surgery for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial is testing whether surgery can help people with a certain type of pancreatic cancer that is locally advanced but not yet spread. You may join if your cancer has shrunk or stayed stable after at least 4 months of chemotherapy and your medical team thinks surgery is possible.
PadovaAges 18 years+ - NCT07033689RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing Suizenji for newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new ultrasound treatment called Suizenji for people with pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if it can safely target the tumor.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06261359RecruitingPhase 2
CEND-1 plus chemo for first-line pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called CEND-1 combined with standard chemotherapy for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to see if the combination works better than chemo alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06282809Recruiting
Sound wave therapy for pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new device that uses sound waves (histotripsy) to break apart pancreatic tumors without surgery. It is for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed and who have already had chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the tumor.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06698458Recruiting
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 - NCT06079346RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New drug with chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called OT-101 combined with a standard chemotherapy regimen (mFOLFIRINOX) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if the combination can help shrink or control the cancer better than chemotherapy alone.
Detroit, MichiganAges 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 - NCT06984562Recruiting
Adaptive radiation therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy that adapts to changes in your cancer over time. It is for people with pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery but has not spread to other parts of the body.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07490301RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of a new drug combo for first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new targeted drug, telisotuzumab adizutecan, combined with standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if this combination works better than current treatments.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05851924RecruitingPhase 2
Nalirifox plus radiation for nonmetastatic pancreatic cancer
This trial studies Nalirifox (chemotherapy) given together with radiation therapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that has not spread to distant organs. It may help shrink the cancer and improve local control, especially when surgery is not an option right now.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07454642RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called AVA6103 for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug may help by targeting a protein on cancer cells and interfering with their ability to multiply.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07157033RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing XER-001 with radiation for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new way to deliver a drug called amifostine (XER-001) alongside intense radiation therapy (SBRT) for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that can't be surgically removed. The goal is to see if it's safe and effective at protecting healthy tissue while targeting the tumor.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06778863RecruitingPhase 1
A study of CLSP-1025 for adults with certain solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called CLSP-1025 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific change in the p53 gene (R175H). The drug targets this change to help fight the cancer.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 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 - NCT06821997RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy before surgery for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer

This trial tests new drugs that target a specific genetic change (RAS) in gastrointestinal cancers like pancreatic and colorectal cancer. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink or slow down the cancer.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07328607Recruiting
Comparing Keyhole vs Open Pancreas Surgery
This trial compares two surgical approaches for removing tumors in the head of the pancreas or nearby areas: 'keyhole' (laparoscopic) surgery versus traditional open surgery. The goal is to see if the keyhole method offers similar results with a faster recovery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 106 recruiting unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
