Radioactive microparticles injected into pancreatic tumors: a new hope?

NCT ID NCT05131776

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท 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.
