NCT ID NCT06850623

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding Acoustic Cluster Therapy (ACT) to standard chemotherapy can shrink tumors in people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. ACT uses ultrasound to activate tiny gas bubbles that help deliver more chemotherapy directly into the tumor. The trial enrolls 25 adults who have not had prior cancer treatment and will measure how many patients respond to the combination therapy.
