Chemo plus immunotherapy before surgery for pancreatic cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of a chemotherapy drug (irinotecan liposome) plus an immunotherapy drug (addebelizumab) given before surgery to people with pancreatic cancer that can be fully removed. The goal is to see if this treatment reduces the chance of the cancer coming back and improves outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- Your pancreatic cancer is considered removable by surgery (no spread to distant organs, and it hasn't wrapped around major blood vessels).
- You have not had any prior tumor treatment (like chemo or radiation) for this cancer.
- You are in good overall health (able to care for yourself, ECOG 0 or 1).
- Your blood counts, liver, kidney, and heart functions are within acceptable ranges.
- You haven't had another cancer in the past 5 years (except for very early skin or cervical cancer).

This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs given before and after surgery for pancreatic cancer that is considered high-risk but removable. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes for patients with this type of cancer.
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) with chemotherapy before surgery for pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for patients whose cancer can be surgically removed.
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (liposomal irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and adebrelimab) given with radiation therapy before surgery for pancreatic cancer that can be surgically removed or is borderline removable. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve the chances of successful surgery.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (liposomal irinotecan with fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin) given before and after surgery for pancreatic cancer that can be fully removed. It aims to see if this approach improves outcomes for patients with stage I or II disease.
This trial tests a combination of standard chemotherapy, MRI-guided radiation, and surgery for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that might be removable. The goal is to see if this approach can make more tumors resectable.
This Phase 2 trial tests a chemotherapy plan given before surgery (called “neoadjuvant” treatment) for people with pancreatic adenocarcinoma that looks resectable or borderline resectable on scans. The goal is to see how well this adaptive chemotherapy approach works and whether it can improve outcomes before an operation.
