Clinical trial finder

The trial finder automatically searches for pancreatic cancer trials. If you don’t want to search for anything specific, just click ‘search’ and it will bring up all the trials available on the trial finder.

If you want to search for something specific, you can use a keyword. This narrows the search but it could also miss trials that you might be interested in. For example, if you search for ‘advanced cancer’, the search may not show trials for stage 4 or metastatic cancer.

The more keywords you add, the fewer results you will get.

Most results from the trial finder search include a short summary to tell you what the trial is about.

If you want to know more about a trial, click ‘view’. This will take you to a website called clinicaltrials.gov which is an international database of clinical trials. The website is designed for researchers, so the information is complicated.

You will find details about who can take part in the study as well as information about what’s involved. If you scroll to ‘Locations’, you can see where in the UK the trial is taking place.

We recommend speaking to your medical team if you are interested in a trial.

Trials sometimes have complicated criteria for taking part (inclusion or eligibility criteria). It can make it difficult to know whether or not you can take part, so it’s important to discuss it with your team.

They will be able to tell you if the trial is suitable for you and provide more information about it.
