Summary

This study tests a new method called sonoporation, which uses ultrasound and tiny gas bubbles to help chemotherapy drugs get into cancer cells more effectively. The trial includes 120 adults with advanced or hard-to-remove pancreatic cancer who are already receiving standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding sonoporation can slow cancer growth and help patients tolerate more treatment cycles.
