Family stem cells tested against deadly pancreatic cancer
NCT ID NCT04087889
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial tested stem cells taken from a patient's blood relative to treat pancreatic cancer, a fast-growing and often deadly disease. Only one patient was treated under a special expanded access program, which is now closed. The goal was to see if these donated stem cells could help control the cancer and improve quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
stem cells from a blood relative
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new way to treat pancreatic cancer using stem cells from a family member.
What could go wrong
This was a single-patient trial that is no longer available, so results are very limited. Stem cell treatments for cancer are still experimental and may not work or could cause side effects.
