Clinical Trial: Hyperthermia Treatment Added to Chemotherapy Standard of Care for Pancreatic Tumors
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Pancreatic Cancer
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Early Feasibility Study to Evaluate the Initial Safety and Device Functionality of VectRx Thermal Therapy Added to Chemotherapy Treatment of Pancreatic Tumors
Brief Summary:
In this study, tumors of the pancreas are treated with a device placed around the abdomen that creates an electromagnetic field that generates heat in the tumor.Heating the tumor improves blood flow and the delivery of chemotherapy to the tumor as has been shown in numerous studies for various cancers with potential clinical benefits.Subjects will receive the thermal treatment on the same day and prior to receiving standard of care chemotherapy for a total of 4 treatments.This study is an early feasibility study…
