Combined ablation and immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer with liver spread
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new treatment combining tumor destruction with heat/cold (ablation) and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1) for people whose pancreatic cancer has spread to the liver. The goal is to help the immune system fight the cancer better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have pancreatic cancer that spread only to the liver, not other organs
- Your liver tumors can be measured on scans and safely reached with a needle
- You have 3 or fewer tumors on half of the liver, each no bigger than 3 cm
- You are up and about (ECOG score 0–2) and expected to live more than 3 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (PD-1), chemotherapy, and a special type of radiation called PULSAR for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer or cancer that has come back only in the pancreas area. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors or keep them from growing.
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) combined with a standard chemotherapy cocktail (NALIRIFOX) for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks or controls the cancer better than chemo alone.
This trial tests a new immunotherapy for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It may be an option if you have already tried at least one previous treatment or if you have not had any treatment yet, depending on the study group.
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy, with or without another experimental drug (AK117), for people with pancreatic cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if adding these therapies can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
This trial tests combining cryoablation (freezing tumors) with a dual-antibody drug (PD-1/CTLA-4) for people whose locally advanced pancreatic cancer has stopped responding to first-line chemotherapy (AG regimen). The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (adebelimab) and chemotherapy drugs (irinotecan liposome, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and calcium folinate) as a first treatment for pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
