PANCREATIC NEOPLASMS

This early-phase study tests a new treatment called TNhYP218 CAR T cells for people with solid tumors that have high levels of a protein called mesothelin, including mesothelioma. Participants' own immune cells are collected, modified in a lab to better attack cancer, and then gi…

This trial compares two types of keyhole surgery to remove the tail of the pancreas. One uses a dye called indocyanine green that glows under special lights, helping surgeons see blood flow and decide where to cut. The other is the standard procedure without the dye. The goal is …

This early-phase trial tests a new drug, UCB4594, in people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to standard treatments. The drug is a monoclonal antibody that targets a protein called HLA-G on cancer cells, potentially helping the immune system attack them. The stud…

This study tests a new treatment for pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver. Doctors deliver a mix of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), chemotherapy drugs, and an immunotherapy drug directly into the liver's blood supply. The goal is to see if this approach helps people l…

This study is testing a procedure called EUS-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for people with pancreatic tumors who are not candidates for surgery. The procedure uses a thin needle passed through an endoscope to deliver heat directly to the tumor. Researchers want to see if i…

This study looks at how the genetic makeup of pancreatic cancer affects response to a chemotherapy called FOLFIRINOX given before surgery. About 45 adults with non-metastatic pancreatic cancer will receive the chemo, then have their tumors analyzed to see if genetic subtypes (lik…

This trial tests a personalized cell therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer. Patients receive their own immune cells that have been engineered to recognize and attack cancer cells with a specific mutation (KRAS G12V). The study enrolls 30 people whose tumors carry this mutation a…

This Phase 2 trial is testing whether adding an experimental immunotherapy (TQB2868) and a targeted drug (anlotinib) to standard chemotherapy can help people with pancreatic cancer that has spread. The study will enroll 80 adults who have not had prior treatment. Researchers will…

This study is testing a new blood test called Enzeavour that looks for tiny signs of pancreatic cancer in healthy people. About 10,000 adults in Japan getting routine checkups will give a blood sample. If the test shows a high score, they will get further imaging to check for can…

This study looks for new ways to diagnose pancreatic cancer, a disease that is often caught too late. Researchers will analyze fluid that is normally thrown away after a standard biopsy procedure. They hope to find proteins or other molecules that could lead to a simple blood tes…

This study tests a new technology called NEO-Match® that measures the stiffness of pancreatic tissue from a biopsy sample. Researchers want to see if this test can predict how well a patient will respond to cancer treatment and help diagnose pancreatic cancer more accurately. Abo…

This study is screening 200 people with a strong family history or genetic mutations linked to pancreatic cancer. Participants get an annual MRI/MRCP scan to look for early-stage cancer or pre-cancerous growths. They also donate blood samples to help develop a future blood test f…

This study is testing a new blood test called PANXEON that looks for tiny genetic particles (miRNAs) to detect pancreatic cancer early. Researchers will collect blood samples from 2,000 people—some with pancreatic cancer and some without—to see how accurate the test is. If it wor…

This study aims to collect blood, urine, tumor samples, and health data from up to 1,000 people with malignant mesothelioma or other cancers that express a protein called mesothelin. Participants will be followed over time to track the course of their disease. The goal is to buil…

This study looks at medical records from 1,000 adults with pancreatic cancer to see if treatments chosen based on each tumor's genetic profile lead to better results. Researchers will track how many patients receive a genetically matched therapy and how well they respond. The goa…

This study looks at tiny molecules called microRNA in the blood of people with advanced pancreatic cancer. Researchers want to see if these molecules can help diagnose the disease earlier, predict how it will progress, and show whether treatment is working. The study will follow …

This study looks at whether people aged 50+ who are newly diagnosed with diabetes (or whose diabetes gets worse) might have early-stage pancreatic cancer. Researchers will use MRI scans and collect blood samples over time to find cancer or pre-cancerous changes. The goal is to de…

This study compares general anesthesia alone versus general anesthesia plus an epidural during pancreatic surgery. The goal is to see which method causes fewer drops in blood pressure and leads to better recovery. About 206 adults scheduled for surgery will take part.

This study is a large registry that will follow about 8,000 cancer patients who receive radiation therapy using a special machine called an MR-Linac, which combines an MRI scanner with a radiation beam. The goal is to learn how well this technology works for different cancers, in…

This study follows 5,000 adults with pancreatic cysts to understand how these cysts behave over time. Researchers aim to create a better way to tell which cysts are harmless and which may turn into cancer. Participants provide medical records and samples, but no new treatment is …

This study follows 4,000 adults aged 30 and older who have at least one pancreatic cyst, a common finding on scans. Researchers will track changes over time using surveys and medical records to see which cysts turn into cancer. The goal is to better tell harmless cysts from dange…

This study compares two minimally invasive surgical techniques—laparoscopic and robot-assisted—for removing the left side of the pancreas in people with benign or pre-cancerous growths. About 256 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The goal is to …

This study is testing whether a special type of ultrasound, called endoscopic ultrasound elastography, can predict the texture of the pancreas and the risk of a pancreatic fistula after a major surgery called pancreaticoduodenectomy. The study will enroll 100 adults scheduled for…
