New radiation bead treatment targets Hard-to-Treat pancreatic tumors
NCT ID NCT07595835
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new way to deliver radiation directly into pancreatic tumors using tiny radioactive beads. It is for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that has not spread but cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and feasible, and whether it can help control the tumor while continuing standard chemotherapy.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years * Locally advanced pancreatic cancer, defined by the DPCG consensus criteria as: arterial involvement \>90 degrees or venous involvement \>270 degrees. * At least RECIST stable disease after a minimum two months of chemotherapy according to current clinical practice\* * Capable of providing written and oral informed consent * Candidate for RNT, judged by a multidisciplinary tumor board * WHO 0-2 Exclusion Criteria: * Eligibility for resection * Participation in other trials focussing on different ablative treatment modalities such as radiofrequency ablation or irreversible electroporation for LAPC * Known hypersensitivity to silicon or phosphor * Bleeding disorders which cannot be corrected with medication * Inability/unwillingness to interrupt anticoagulation therapy * Pregnancy * Metastatic pancreatic cancer * Epilepsy episode(s) in the past six months * Longest tumor diameter \>70 mm or total target tumor volume \>110 ml * Presence of multiple collateral vessels surrounding or adjacent to the target tumor on radiologic imagining, prohibiting safe injection of the OncosilTM device * Presence (or significant risk) of varices near the target tumor on radiologic imaging * Recent clinically significant pancreatitis * Previous administration of radiotherapy to the pancreas
