The tumor treatment fields thing looked interesting, so I went to Dr. Google and found this, dated in February:

Looks like the study is closed now and was limited to patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, i.e., not stage IV. Oh well.

The one I was thinking of more recently was not Panova-3, but this one:
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04605913
I think metastatic (Stage IV) is OK, but at least one of the mets has to be on the liver? The link indicates the study is still accepting patients, but it looks like Mayo in Florida is the only participant; wouldn't work for a lot of people.
