Immunology Researchers Solve a Mystery of Metastasis
Physician and researcher Douglas Fearon and his lab have a possible explanation for how cancer cells metastasize, and the role surgery may play in this process.
Chemotherapy Plus Stem Cell Infusion and Vitamins for BRCA Mutated Pancreatic Cancer
A clinical trial for pancreatic cancer patients with a BRCA mutation uses a combination of chemotherapy, vitamins, and stem cells.
Platform Trial Design Aims to Get Information Quickly and Efficiently
Dr. Eugene Koay is leading a platform trial, for a more nimble way to adapt to participants’ response to treatments being tested.
Immunotherapy for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer and Other Solid Tumors
Researchers are testing the use of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, a type of immunotherapy, against advanced pancreatic cancer.
Reducing Pancreatic Cancer Risk Through Chemoprevention
Dr. Peter Allen leads a clinical trial of chemoprevention–the use of a medication to prevent IPMNs from developing into pancreatic cancer.
Combining Immunotherapy and Targeted Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer
Researchers are combining immunotherapy and targeted therapy in a clinical trial for pancreatic cancer patients on platinum-based chemotherapy.
Comparing a Standard Chemotherapy With and Without a PARP Inhibitor
A clinical trial compares standard chemotherapy with and without the addition of a PARP inihibitor, for patients whose pancreatic cancer is spreading again.

Testing the Effectiveness of Radiation and Standard Treatment
A clinical trial compares FOLFIRINOX plus stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with just FOLFIRINOX for pancreatic cancer that has spread locally.
Taking a Systems Biology Approach to Find a New Pancreatic Cancer Target
Dr. Andrea Califano is using systems biology and cell regulators to find new targets in the search for ways to stop pancreatic cancer cells.
Testing a Signal-Inhibiting Drug on Tumors with Specific Mutations
A new drug for certain tumor mutations is being tested in a type of clinical trial called a basket trial, which matches tumor genetics and drugs.
Early Study Shows Exercise Alone Can Reduce Inflammation
Dr. Zobeida Cruz-Monserrate is studying how exercise can reduce inflammation, and how that impacts pancreatic cancer.
