Personalised nutrition for older patients with pancreatic cancer
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether personalised nutritional care can help older patients with pancreatic cancer feel better and cope with treatment. You will receive a nutrition plan tailored to your needs, and the study will follow how this affects your health and treatment experience.

This trial tests treatments that are chosen specifically for you based on the genetic makeup of your tumor. The goal is to find a targeted therapy that may work better for your advanced pancreatic cancer after standard chemotherapy has stopped being effective.
This study uses small pancreatic cancer samples grown in the lab to understand which treatments may work best for people with pancreatic cancer. It may help researchers better “profile” tumors so standard care can be matched to the most effective options.
This trial tests whether a special nutrition program can help people with pancreatic cancer who are getting chemotherapy before surgery. The program includes diet changes, supplements, and exercise support to see if it improves strength, weight, and overall well-being.
This trial tests an AI-powered app that helps with nutrition after pancreatic cancer surgery. It aims to improve your recovery by giving personalized dietary guidance.
This trial studies whether a supervised resistance exercise program combined with protein supplementation can help people with non-metastatic pancreatic cancer during chemotherapy. It may improve strength and how well you tolerate treatment, with safety monitoring throughout.
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise and nutrition program can help people with pancreatic cancer get stronger before surgery. It’s designed for those who are not already doing regular strength training.
