Does controlling uric acid help after pancreatic cancer surgery?
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study is checking if controlling uric acid (a normal body waste product) can help people with pancreatic cancer live longer after surgery. If you have had successful surgery and are otherwise healthy, this trial might be for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that started in your pancreas.
- You had surgery to remove the cancer (either a Whipple procedure or removing the tail of the pancreas).

This study checks if a simple blood test can find tiny bits of cancer DNA after your pancreatic surgery, which may help detect if cancer comes back earlier than scans. By joining, you'll help doctors learn how to better monitor the disease and guide future treatments.
This study uses a special blood test to look for tiny amounts of cancer DNA after your pancreatic cancer surgery. It may help doctors see early if the cancer is coming back, so they can act sooner.
This trial tests whether combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy (called the GX regimen) after pancreatic cancer surgery helps prevent cancer from returning in patients with high-risk features. The study aims to see if this combination treatment improves outcomes compared to standard care.
This trial tests a new chemotherapy combination after surgery for pancreatic cancer to see if it helps prevent the cancer from coming back. It compares the new treatment to a standard one.
This trial studies giving chemo and hydroxychloroquine before surgery for resectable pancreatic cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve the chances of successful removal.
This trial tests whether taking aspirin (a common pain reliever and blood thinner) before and after surgery for pancreatic head cancer can improve outcomes. It may help reduce the chance of cancer returning or spreading.
