NanoKnife treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies a procedure called NanoKnife IRE for pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed surgically after standard chemotherapy or radiation. It uses electric pulses to destroy tumor cells and may be an option for patients who have completed other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your pancreatic cancer is locally advanced and cannot be surgically removed
- You have completed standard chemotherapy and/or radiation at least 5 weeks before treatment
- Your blood clotting test (INR) is less than 1.5
- You are willing to follow the study plan and sign a consent form

This trial tests a new treatment where CAR-NK cells are injected directly into the pancreatic tumor using an endoscope. It is designed for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has come back or cannot be removed by surgery.
This trial studies how safe CyberKnife is when used to treat some borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancers after chemotherapy. It may help patients by targeting the tumor with precise radiation, while researchers closely watch for side effects.
This trial tests a tiny implantable device that measures how different chemotherapy drugs work on your tumor during surgery. The goal is to find the most effective treatment for your specific cancer.
This trial compares two different ways to give focused radiation to the prostate in men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for patients.
This trial tests a new drug called mitazalimab injected directly into the tumor, combined with a special electrical procedure that kills cancer cells. It is for people whose pancreatic cancer has not spread but cannot be removed by surgery.
This study looks at how well combining standard chemo with a targeted local treatment works for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It may help control the cancer in the area of origin and improve outcomes compared with chemo alone.
