TTFields and chemo for metastatic pancreatic cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable device (TTFields) combined with a specific chemotherapy (mFOLFIRINOX) for people whose pancreatic cancer has spread to the liver and other organs. The device sends gentle electrical fields to disrupt cancer cell growth, and the chemo attacks cancer cells throughout the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pancreatic cancer that has spread to other parts of your body (stage 4).
- You have at least one tumor in your liver that can be biopsied.
- You are healthy enough to be up and about (performance status 0 or 1).
- Your doctor plans to treat you with a chemotherapy called mFOLFIRINOX.
- You or a caregiver can use a wearable device that delivers electrical fields to the tumor area.

This trial tests whether a blood test that detects tumor DNA can help doctors decide early if the standard chemotherapy is working, and if switching treatment might be better. It is for people newly diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer who are starting their first chemotherapy.
This trial tests a new drug called OT-101 combined with a standard chemotherapy regimen (mFOLFIRINOX) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if the combination can help shrink or control the cancer better than chemotherapy alone.
This trial tests a new drug (OMTX705) combined with standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel) and an immunotherapy (tislelizumab) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer. It may be an option if you have had little or no prior chemotherapy.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs plus a portable TTF device (TTF-100L) to treat pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver. It may help by trying to shrink or control the cancer in people who haven’t already had treatment specifically for stage IV metastatic disease.
This trial tests whether combining targeted radiation with an at-home “tumor treating fields” device can better control locally advanced pancreatic cancer. It may help by attacking cancer cells in more than one way after prior chemotherapy.
This trial studies NovoTTF-200T(P), a portable treatment device, combined with standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel) for people with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. It aims to improve treatment results by trying this combination before surgery.
