Radioactive microparticles injected into pancreatic tumors: a new hope?
NCT ID NCT05131776
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if injecting radioactive particles (OncoSil) directly into pancreatic tumors during an endoscopic ultrasound, combined with chemotherapy, could safely shrink tumors and improve survival. It was designed for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that could not be removed by surgery. However, the study was stopped early after enrolling only 2 participants, so no clear conclusions can be drawn.
