Pancreatic cancer non-resectable

Researchers are testing a new device that uses endoscopic ultrasound to guide microwave energy directly into pancreatic and liver tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. The study enrolls 75 adults with locally advanced or metastatic cancer. The main goal is to see whether the …

This study tracks up to 30 adults who need an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedure using a new device called RIVOS. The device helps doctors access and treat problems like fluid collections, blockages, or chronic pancreatitis. Researchers will measure how often the procedure wor…

This early study tests a new catheter system that delivers the chemotherapy drug Gemcitabine directly into or near pancreatic tumors. It includes 9 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and feasible…

This phase II trial tests whether adding a precise, high-dose form of radiation (SBRT) to standard maintenance chemotherapy can help people with advanced pancreatic cancer live longer. The study enrolls 24 adults whose cancer has not grown after at least four months of initial ch…

This study looks at how the genetic makeup of pancreatic cancer affects response to a chemotherapy called FOLFIRINOX given before surgery. About 45 adults with non-metastatic pancreatic cancer will receive the chemo, then have their tumors analyzed to see if genetic subtypes (lik…

This study is testing a new blood test called PANXEON that looks for tiny genetic particles (miRNAs) to detect pancreatic cancer early. Researchers will collect blood samples from 2,000 people—some with pancreatic cancer and some without—to see how accurate the test is. If it wor…

This study tests whether giving a nerve block early, rather than waiting, can better control pain in people with inoperable pancreatic cancer. The procedure uses an endoscope to inject numbing medication near nerves that carry pain signals. Researchers will compare pain scores an…
