PANCREATIC NEOPLASMS

This early-stage study tested whether adding high-dose vitamin C infusions to standard radiation and chemotherapy is safe for pancreatic cancer patients. Sixteen participants received vitamin C through an IV during their daily radiation treatments. The main goal was to check for …

This study tested a two-part treatment for pancreatic cancer that had spread only to the liver after the first standard therapy stopped working. Doctors delivered chemotherapy directly into the liver's blood supply, followed by either more liver-targeted treatment or oral medicat…

This study tested whether an oral medicine called BI 907828 could help control advanced cancers of the bile duct, pancreas, lung, or bladder that had a specific genetic pattern (MDM2 amplified, TP53 wild-type) and had stopped responding to standard treatments. All 99 participants…

This study compared two types of medical scopes used in ERCP procedures, which treat problems in the bile ducts and pancreas. Researchers tested whether a scope with a new single-use disposable cover was as safe and easy for doctors to use as the traditional reusable scope. Over …

This study tested whether removing surgical drains earlier (4 days after surgery) reduces infection rates compared to standard practice (10-15 days) in patients undergoing major pancreas surgery. It involved 141 patients across multiple hospitals in France who had their pancreas …

This study tested the safety of a specialized, high-precision radiation treatment called stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for pancreatic cancer. It involved 36 patients whose cancer was difficult to remove with surgery or had come back after other treatments. The main g…

This study monitored the safety of LYNPARZA, a maintenance drug, in 130 patients with a specific type of advanced pancreatic cancer (BRCA-mutated) who had already finished platinum-based chemotherapy. The goal was to track and understand the side effects that occurred in real-wor…

This study followed 65 patients to see how safe and effective a precise form of radiation therapy (SBRT) was for treating tumors in the liver and pancreas. The main goal was to monitor and improve the treatment process to keep it safe. Researchers wanted to see if the treatment s…

This study tested whether doctors could safely take small samples of a patient's pancreatic cancer tumor and grow miniature 3D versions (organoids) in the lab. Researchers then used these mini-tumors to test which chemotherapy drugs worked best against that specific patient's can…
