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.
Early Detection Trial for People at Higher Risk of Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is more successfully treated when it is found before it has spread outside the pancreas. This trial looks…
Trying Targeted Treatments Used for Other Cancers
Researchers are trying kinase inhibitors that are effective for breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and melanoma on pancreatic cancer.
New Drug for BRCA Carriers with Advanced Cancer
A phase I clinical trial is testing the effectiveness of a platinum-based drug for BRCA carriers with pancreatic, breast, and other cancers.
A Maintenance Trial for Patients with BRCA or PALB2 Mutations
A clinical trial examines whether the PARP inhibitor rucaparib can work as a maintenance drug for pancreatic cancer patients with BRCA or PALB2 mutations.
Focusing on a Drug that Treats Specific Tumor Mutations
A clinical trial tests a signal-inhibiting drug for lung cancers with specific genetic mutations on gastrointestinal cancers with the same tumor mutations.
Treating BRCA-Negative Pancreatic Cancer Patients with a Family Cancer History Similar to BRCA Carriers
A clinical trial looks at the effectiveness of a PARP inhibitor in BRCA-negative pancreatic cancer patients with a family history BRCA-type cancers.
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.
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.
A New Drug Combination to Control Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
A clinical trial for pancreatic cancer patients with the BRCA mutation tests the effectiveness of standard treatment plus a PARP inhibitor.
