NCT ID NCT07733427

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
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This pilot study tests whether delivering pain medication directly to the spinal cord via an implanted pump can better control severe pain in people with pancreatic cancer. The trial enrolls adults whose pain is not well managed by standard treatments or who cannot take typical painkillers. Researchers will track pain levels, opioid use, quality of life, sleep, and safety over 12 months to see if this approach offers meaningful relief.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
intrathecal analgesia via an implantable pump delivering pain medication directly to the spinal cord
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a new way to control severe pancreatic cancer pain that does not respond to standard treatments, potentially reducing opioid use and improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The procedure carries risks such as infection, bleeding, or device malfunction, and it is unclear whether it will meaningfully reduce pain or opioid needs.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 40 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Sep 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
