NCT ID NCT05919238

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

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new treatment for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The therapy uses a light-sensitive drug and a special light delivered through a thin tube into the blood vessels feeding the tumor. The goal is to see if it is safe and can shrink the cancer, possibly making it operable. About 30 adults with stage III pancreatic cancer will take part.
