Electric pulses plus chemo take on tough pancreatic tumors

NCT ID NCT03484299

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether adding a procedure called irreversible electroporation (IRE) to standard chemotherapy can help control locally advanced pancreatic cancer. IRE uses short electrical pulses to destroy tumor cells without major surgery. About 20 adults with stage III pancreatic cancer will receive either FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine chemo plus IRE. The main goal is to check safety and side effects, while also tracking how long the cancer stays under control.
