PANCREATIC CARCINOMA

This study tests whether taking pancreatic enzymes (Pertzye) with meals can help people with metastatic pancreatic cancer maintain their body weight during chemotherapy. The trial includes 17 participants who are starting a standard chemo regimen called FOLFIRINOX. Researchers wi…

This phase 1 trial tests a vaccine (p53MVA) that trains the immune system to attack cancer cells with a p53 mutation, given together with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda). The study includes 11 people with advanced solid tumors like lung, head and neck, liver, kidn…

This phase 2 trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of glipizide, a standard diabetes drug, for lowering blood sugar in people with pancreatic cancer. The study includes 29 participants with active pancreatic cancer and high blood sugar. Researchers will measure blood suga…

This phase II/III trial compares a three-drug chemotherapy combination (nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine, plus cisplatin) against the standard two-drug combo (nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine) in people with metastatic pancreatic cancer that has BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 gene mutations. T…

This early-phase trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab), a vaccine targeting TGFβ-15, and targeted radiation for pancreatic cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this mix can safely boost the immune sy…

This study tests a new radioactive tracer called 18F-alphavbeta6-binding-peptide to see if it can safely and clearly show cancers in the breast, colon, lung, or pancreas. About 27 adults with these cancers will get the tracer and have a PET scan. The goal is to find out if this m…

This pilot study at Mayo Clinic tests whether personalized education and genetic counseling can increase genetic testing in people with a first-degree relative who had pancreatic cancer. About 50 participants will receive tailored information and counseling. The goal is to see if…

This study tests a web-based education tool called HOPE-Genomics that teaches cancer patients about their genetic test results. About 465 adults with breast, colorectal, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer are taking part. The goal is to see if the tool helps patients r…
