First seen May 24, 2026 ยท Last updated May 24, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new type of radiation called pulsed low-dose-rate (PLDR) for people with pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed right away. The goal is to see if this gentler radiation, given with the chemotherapy drug gemcitabine, causes fewer side effects than standard radiation. About 12 participants will receive the treatment before possible surgery.
