Sound waves vs. pancreatic cancer: new device tested in humans
NCT ID NCT06282809
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a device called the HistoSonics Edison System, which uses focused sound waves (histotripsy) to mechanically break apart pancreatic tumors without surgery. The trial will enroll 50 adults with advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed surgically. The main goal is to see if the procedure is safe, measuring any complications within 30 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
HistoSonics Edison System (focused ultrasound device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new, non-invasive way to destroy pancreatic tumors without surgery, potentially improving outcomes for patients with advanced disease.
What could go wrong
This is an early safety trial with only 50 participants, so it may not prove effective. The procedure could cause complications like bleeding or infection, and it is not a cure.
