FACT: Clinical trials give pancreatic cancer patients access to new treatments and can lead to better outcomes and quality of life. 

Every patient has the right to be told about clinical trial options at diagnosis—not after treatment has already started.

What Are Clinical Trials?

Clinical trials are research studies that test new treatments, medical approaches, or procedures to see if they are safe and effective. These studies compare new options to current standard treatments to find better ways to treat pancreatic cancer.

Why Clinical Trials Matter

• They give patients access to new drugs and therapies that are not yet widely available.
• Patients receive extra medical attention from a specialized research team that monitors them closely.
• Trials are held to strict safety standards and are approved only after extensive testing.
• In a disease with very few treatment advances in Canada, clinical trials are essential for improving survival.

Eligibility

Patients must meet specific medical criteria to join a trial, which is why it’s important to discuss clinical trial options as early as possible.
