Summary

This study looks at how safe and effective the diabetes drug glipizide is for lowering high blood sugar in people with pancreatic cancer. About 29 adults with active pancreatic cancer and high blood sugar will take glipizide, and researchers will track their glucose levels before and after starting the drug. The goal is to better control blood sugar, not to cure the cancer.
