Chemoradiation Before Tumor Removal to Lessen Possible Post-Surgical Disease
A clinical trial examines the effectiveness of presurgical chemotherapy and radiation in making cancer-free margins after tumor removal.
Testing Immunotherapy for Safety Before and After Pancreatic Cancer Removal
Researchers are testing a new monoclonal antibody to see if it helps patients with pancreatic tumors that can be surgically removed.
Testing the Effectiveness of Immunotherapy Added to a New Drug Combination
Researchers are testing a drug combination that adds immunotherapy to standard drugs used to treat pancreatic cancer and an antimalarial drug.
Learning to Guide My Pancreatic Cancer Treatment
The more Colin Gabriel learned about pancreatic cancer, the more he realized he needed to guide his treatment, rather than go where his HMO recommended.
Targeting Tumor Proteins Specific to Pancreatic Cancer Cells
A clinical trial tests the safety and effectiveness of tumor-associated antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, which target specific tumor proteins.
Comparing Chemotherapy Before with Chemotherapy After Pancreatic Cancer Surgery
Researchers are comparing effectiveness of chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant) with chemotherapy after surgery (adjuvant).
Immunotherapy to Enhance Standard Chemotherapy for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Researchers are testing an immunotherapy drug approved for other advanced cancers for effectiveness against pancreatic cancer.
A New Drug to Target Cancer Cell Enzymes
Researchers are testing a drug that targets the enzymes that help generate energy for cell division, to disrupt pancreatic cancer cell multiplication.
Comparing Treatment Delivery Methods for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
A clinical trial compares intravenous chemotherapy delivery with intra-arterial chemotherapy to see which is more effective for pancreatic cancer.
Searching for Potential Pancreatic Cancer Blood Biomarkers
Researchers are using blood samples to follow people considered at risk for developing pancreatic cancer in a trial looking for early detection biomarkers.
Testing Treatment Combinations to Make Surgery More Effective
Can losartan (a high blood pressure drug) and immunotherapy combined with standard chemotherapy and radiation be an effective combination against pancreatic cancer?
Testing the Safety of an Immunotherapy Combination After Surgery
A new clinical trial tests the safety of a monoclonal antibody and personalized cancer vaccine plus chemotherapy after surgery to remove pancreatic cancer.
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.
Chemotherapy Plus Minimally Invasive Surgery for Pancreatic Cancer
Researchers want to know if irreversible electroporation (IRE) makes it easier for chemotherapy to reach pancreatic cancer cells.
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.
