Testing IRE and an immunotherapy drug for advanced pancreatic cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new combination: a special electric field treatment (IRE) plus a dual-function antibody (PD-1/CTLA-4) for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that didn't respond to standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink or control the cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- Your pancreatic cancer must be locally advanced (just around the pancreas, not spread to other organs) and confirmed by a biopsy.
- You must have already tried standard chemotherapy (called AG) and it either stopped working or caused bad side effects.
- You need to be well enough to get around and take care of yourself (ECOG score 0–2).
- Your blood counts, liver and kidney function must be within certain healthy ranges.

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 new kind of immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer that has not been removed by surgery or has spread. It aims to see if the treatment can help shrink or control the cancer, and you may be eligible whether you have had previous chemotherapy or not.
This study tests a new combination of two drugs for advanced pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if adding an immunotherapy drug (which helps your immune system attack cancer) to standard chemotherapy can help control the cancer better.
This study looks at people with advanced pancreatic cancer who have already been treated with a procedure called irreversible electroporation (IRE), which uses electric pulses to kill cancer cells, sometimes along with immunotherapy drugs. The goal is to learn more about how well this combination works and how safe it is.
This trial tests a combination of radiation, an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) and a chemotherapy regimen (NALIRIFOX) before any surgery, for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough to make surgery possible, potentially improving outcomes.
This Phase 2 study looks at whether adding immunotherapy to a procedure called irreversible electroporation can help treat stage III pancreatic cancer. You might be eligible if you have measurable tumors and can safely undergo the procedure.
