Pancreatic cancer drugs put to the test in early trial

NCT ID NCT04005690

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early phase trial is testing several targeted drugs in people with pancreatic cancer to see how they affect tumor biology. Researchers will compare tumor samples taken before and after treatment to understand which drugs might work best. The goal is not to treat the cancer directly, but to gather information that could guide future, more effective trials. About 90 participants with various stages of pancreatic cancer are being enrolled.
