@bceg1969, are you looking for clinical trials for pancreatic cancer specifically?

Yes.My husband starts one on Monday that his oncologist ,Dr Rubinson At Dana Farber in Boston has said has shown good results
Yes Pancreatic cancer

I am in the 3rd cycle of Trial drugs RM9805 and RM6236. Since July 8 it has moved my CA19-9 to 44 from 250 and shrunk my tumors by 39%

Daily pills, no infusions. Bloodwork is steady. The only side effects are skin breakouts, about 1 hour of nausea and needing to fast for 4 hours!
These are drugs that target the KRAS mutations.

I started a clinical trial at the NIH in Bethesda, MD in early June of this year. The trial is for patients with acinar cell pancreatic cancer and who also have the BRCA2 mutation. The doctors at the NIH have me taking Olaparib, 300mg twice daily. It has had a positive effect on the one remaining tumor on my liver that is visible in a CT scan. If you have acinar cell pancreatic cancer and the BRCA2 mutation, the NIH is still looking for applicants. I have to travel there once a month. I can't speak highly enough of the people there I've interacted with.
