Slowing the Spread of Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Researchers are testing a kinase inhibitor that is used to treat lung diseases, including a type of lung cancer, against pancreatic cancer.
Chemotherapy Plus Minimally Invasive Surgery for Pancreatic Cancer
Researchers want to know if irreversible electroporation (IRE), a minimally invasive surgical technique, makes it easier for chemotherapy to reach pancreatic cancer cells.
Targeted Therapy to Inhibit Connective Tissue Growth in Pancreatic Cancer
Researchers are testing a new antibody, a type of targeted therapy, in combination with standard treatment for pancreatic cancer in a phase III trial.
Testing a Drug that Works Only in the Tumor Microenvironment
Scientists are trying a new type of drug combination that gets activated only in the unique conditions of the tumor microenvironment.
Combining Two Drugs with Different Approaches to Enhance Treatment
A clinical trial combines epigenetic therapy and immunotherapy to make immunotherapy more effective for patients with pancreatic and bile duct cancers.
Testing the Safety of an Immunotherapy Combination After Surgery
A new clinical trial tests the safety of a monoclonal antibody and personalized cancer vaccine combined with chemotherapy after surgery to remove pancreatic cancer.
Testing Techniques to Remove Stray Pancreatic Cancer Cells After Surgery
Researchers are studying whether peritoneal washing after pancreatic cancer surgery decreases recurrence of the cancer by removing stray cancer cells.
Drug Combination to Combat Pancreatic and other Gastrointestinal Cancers
Researchers are combining TAS-102, an approved drug for colorectal cancer, and nanoliposomal irinotecan, to see if they work on pancreatic and other gastrointestinal cancers.
Testing Treatment Combinations to Make Surgery More Effective
Researchers are looking at losartan and nivolumab combined with standard protocol of chemotherapy and radiation to see either drug or a combination is more effective.
Precision Radiotherapy to Make Pancreatic Tumors Removable
A clinical trial tests a precision radiation technique called intensity-modulated radiation therapy against locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
