What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at whether actively treating diabetes with drugs like metformin or insulin can help people with metastatic pancreatic cancer live longer when they also receive standard chemotherapy. About 210 adults with both pancreatic cancer and diabetes will be enrolled. The goal is to see if better blood sugar control improves overall survival.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Metformin, insulin, or other anti-diabetic treatments
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that managing blood sugar alongside chemotherapy helps people with pancreatic cancer live longer.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, but it only includes people with both pancreatic cancer and diabetes, so results may not apply to everyone. Adding anti-diabetic drugs may not improve survival and could cause side effects like low blood sugar.
