Radioactive implant targets pancreatic tumors from the inside
NCT ID NCT07155850
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early study tests a new device called YntraDose™ that delivers a single dose of radiation directly into pancreatic tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. Ten participants will receive the implant along with standard chemotherapy. The main goals are to see if the procedure is safe and feasible, and to measure its impact on tumor response and quality of life over three months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Y-90 microspheres (radioactive implant) delivered via YntraDose™ device
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new way to treat inoperable pancreatic cancer by delivering radiation directly into the tumor, potentially improving tumor control and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study (10 people) focused on safety and feasibility. It may not show clear benefit, and there are risks from the procedure and radiation, including possible damage to nearby organs.
