First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study tests a new combination for people with pancreatic cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It uses a light-activated drug (verteporfin) to make tumors more sensitive to an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab), plus standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors better than current treatments. About 25 adults with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer will take part.
