What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests a mix of chemotherapy (NALIRIFOX), an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab), and a special type of radiation (PULSAR) as a first treatment for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and helps shrink tumors. About 55 adults aged 18-75 with good overall health and no prior treatment for their advanced cancer can join.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age: 18-75 years, regardless of gender. * Histologically confirmed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). * Previously untreated, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic PDAC, with at least one measurable lesion (RECIST v1.1) not previously irradiated. * ECOG Performance Status (PS): 0-1. * Expected survival ≥ 3 months. * Willing and able to comply with study procedures, treatment, and follow-up. * No contraindications to radiotherapy. * Adequate organ function: WBC ≥ 2.5×10⁹/L, ANC ≥ 1.5×10⁹/L; Platelets ≥ 75×10⁹/L; Hemoglobin (HGB) ≥ 90 g/L (no transfusion or EPO dependence within 7 days); Total bilirubin (Tbil) ≤ 1.5×ULN; ALT/AST ≤ 5×ULN;Albumin ≥ 30 g/L; INR ≤ 1.5×ULN; Serum creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5×ULN Urine protein ≤ 1+ * HBsAg-positive patients must have HBV-DNA ≤ 1×10³ IU/mL (copies/mL). If HBV-DNA ≥ 1×10³ IU/mL, patients may still be eligible if chronic HBV is stable and not expected to increase risk, per investigator assessment. * Voluntary participation with signed informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * History of severe hypersensitivity to chimeric, human(ized) antibodies, or fusion proteins. * Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or men/women of childbearing potential unwilling/unable to use effective contraception during the study. * Other malignancies within 5 years, except: Malignancies treated with curative intent and no known active disease for ≥5 years with low recurrence risk; Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without disease evidence; Adequately treated carcinoma in situ (e.g., cervical, breast) with no current disease. * Symptomatic moderate/severe pleural effusion or ascites. * Active bleeding or coagulopathy (PT \>16s, APTT \>43s, INR \>1.5×ULN), bleeding tendency, or current use of thrombolytics/anticoagulants/antiplatelets. * GI bleeding within 6 months or high bleeding risk (e.g., active ulcer with occult blood++). If occult blood+ persists, endoscopy required. * High-risk esophageal/gastric varices needing intervention. * History of drug abuse, psychiatric disorder, or inability to abstain. * Solid organ/bone marrow transplant, or active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within 2 years. * Immunodeficiency or HIV infection. * Objective evidence of pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, pneumoconiosis, radiation-/drug-induced pneumonitis, or severely impaired pulmonary function. * Major surgery within 4 weeks or minor surgery within 1 week (e.g., tooth extraction). * Vaccination within 30 days before the first dose. * Abdominal fistula, GI perforation, or abscess within 4 weeks. * Any clinically significant abnormality affecting safety per investigator, including: Active infection requiring systemic therapy; Uncontrolled diabetes/hypertension (BP \>140/90 mmHg despite ≤2 antihypertensives); Myocardial infarction within 6 months; Thyroid dysfunction (\>NCI CTCAE v4.0 Grade 1). * Other conditions deemed ineligible by the investigator.
