What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are testing whether combining albumin-bound paclitaxel with gemcitabine helps people with metastatic pancreatic cancer who have not yet received systemic treatment. The study enrolls about 59 adults aged 18 to 75 with confirmed metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Participants receive both drugs by intravenous infusion on a four-week cycle, and researchers track how well tumors respond, how long patients live without worsening, and overall survival.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with gemcitabine
What this could lead to
If it works, this combination could offer another first-line option for people with metastatic pancreatic cancer, a disease with few effective treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-arm Phase 2 study without a comparison group, so results may not hold up in larger trials. Both drugs can cause nerve damage, low blood counts, and other side effects.
