Promising drug trial for rare pancreatic cancer stopped early
NCT ID NCT06158516
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether the drug surufatinib could help prevent pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors from coming back after surgery. The trial was planned for many participants but was stopped early with only 6 people enrolled. Because it ended early, we don't have clear answers on whether the drug works better than a placebo.
