NCT ID NCT05351983

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether it is safe and possible to grow mini-tumors (organoids) from pancreatic cancer samples in the lab. 60 patients with pancreatic cancer provided tumor tissue during surgery or biopsy. The goal was to see if these organoids could be used to test different chemotherapy drugs. The results did not change the treatment patients received, but the information gathered may help doctors choose better treatments in the future.
