CT-guided implantation of phosphorus-32 microparticles for non-progressive locally advanced pancreatic cancer
Official title: Safety and Feasibility of CT-guided Percutaneous Radionuclide Therapy With 32P Microparticles in Patients With Non-progressive Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (PANCOSIL): an Open-label, Single-arm Phase 1-2 Feasibility Study
Run by Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc · NCT07595835 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether placing phosphorus-32 microparticles directly into the pancreatic tumor can help control locally advanced disease in adults who have not progressed after chemotherapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with non-progressive locally advanced pancreatic cancer, stable after chemotherapy, and suitable for intratumoural RNT.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with metastatic disease, resectable tumors, or tumors exceeding size/volume limits may not benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This interventional study uses CT-guided intratumoural implantation of OncoSil™—a device with phosphorus-32–labeled microparticles—to deliver localized radiation inside the tumor. The aim is to assess safety and preliminary efficacy in adults with non-progressive locally advanced pancreatic cancer that is not resectable. Eligible participants have stable disease after chemotherapy and meet tumor size and health criteria, with ongoing monitoring for adverse effects and tumor response. The study spans phase 1 and phase 2 to establish safety and explore treatment signals before broader use.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could experience better local tumor control with potentially fewer side effects than external radiation.
How similar studies have gone: Previous intra-tumoral phosphorus-32 approaches have shown encouraging local control in some trials, but this exact approach is under investigation.
