First seen Mar 06, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study is for people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine) given together with a precise type of radiation called proton therapy. The goal is to find the safest dose of the drugs and see how well the treatment shrinks the tumor. About 24 participants will receive proton therapy daily for three weeks and chemotherapy once a week during that time.
