Sonoporation and Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer (NCT04821284)
Optimizing Ultrasound Enhanced Delivery of Therapeutics
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase I/II trial studies the effect of sonoporation in addition to standard of care chemotherapy in treating patients with pancreatic cancer. Sonoporation is a novel method that uses ultrasound and microbubbles to increase therapeutic effect by increasing uptake or enhance sensitization. Sonoporation together with chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer compared to chemotherapy alone.
