Modifying the Tumor Microenvironment to Make Treatment More Effective
Researchers are testing a new drug that better-allows chemotherapy to penetrate the tumor microenvironment of pancreatic cancer.
Using Molecular Tumor Profiling to Determine the Best Pancreatic Cancer Treatment
A clinical trial looks at whether molecular subtyping of tumors is effective in determining the best pancreatic cancer treatment.
A Vaccine To Boost Immune Response to Pancreatic Cancer
Researchers are testing whether a vaccine can heighten the body’s immune response to pancreatic cancer after surgical removal of the tumor.
PARP Inhibitor as Maintenance for Pancreatic Cancer Patients with BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 Mutations
A new clinical trial tests a PARP inhibitor as maintenance treatment for pancreatic cancer patients with BRCA1/2 or PALB2 mutations.
Adaptive Pre-Surgery Therapy for Patients with Localized Pancreatic Cancer
Will a flexible approach to neoadjuvant treatment work better for pancreatic cancer patients with tumors that can be removed surgically?
Comparing Effectiveness of Chemotherapy Before and After Surgery
Is chemotherapy before and after pancreatic cancer surgery more effective than just chemotherapy after surgery?
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.
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.
Testing a Different Approach to Pancreatic Cancer Treatment
This trial remains active but is not recruiting at this time. A pancreatectomy or Whipple procedure can remove a patient’s main tumor, but post-surgical testing of lymph nodes and the edges of the tissue left after surgery often finds cancer cells. These patients are at high risk of recurrence of the disease. Researchers are trying…
Personalized Immunotherapy Vaccine for Pancreatic Cancer
Researchers are creating personalized vaccines to stimulate a pancreatic cancer patient’s immune system after surgery and chemotherapy.
