Vitamin C for late-stage pancreatic cancer quality of life
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial is testing if high-dose vitamin C can improve quality of life for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has continued to grow after two previous treatments. It aims to see if vitamin C can help patients feel better and possibly slow the cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are generally able to care for yourself (ECOG score 0-2).

This Phase 2 study tests how well olaptesed plus pembrolizumab works with irinotecan or with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel in people with metastatic pancreatic cancer that keeps growing after standard first treatment. It may help control the cancer by changing how the body fights tumors and by delivering chemotherapy differently.
This trial tests whether a combination of high-dose vitamin C and cordyceps (a type of fungus used in traditional medicine) can improve quality of life for people with late-stage pancreatic cancer that has progressed after two prior treatments. It looks at how these supplements affect your well-being and daily living.
This trial tests whether adding vitamin C and a fungus called cordyceps to standard chemotherapy can help improve anemia (low red blood cells) in people with advanced pancreatic cancer. It's for those who have not yet had treatment for their cancer.
This trial tests whether intravenous vitamin C (ascorbic acid) combined with an immune treatment (adebrelimab) can slow or shrink metastatic colorectal cancer that can’t be removed with surgery. It focuses on tumors that strongly show a specific marker called GLUT3, and aims to see if the combination works better than standard approaches.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—capecitabine (a chemotherapy pill), camrelizumab (an immunotherapy), and apatinib (a targeted therapy)—for people with advanced pancreatic cancer whose previous treatment stopped working or who cannot tolerate standard chemotherapy.
This trial tests a type of radiation that uses carbon ions to treat pancreatic cancer that can’t be removed with surgery but has not spread to distant organs. It may help shrink or control the tumor while limiting radiation side effects to nearby organs.
