U.S., Oct. 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07873606) titled 'Histotripsy x Pancreatic Cancer' on Sept. 23.
Brief Summary: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the deadliest malignancies, with 5-year survival around 12% despite advances in surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Existing ablative therapies (RFA, microwave, irreversible electroporation) are limited by thermal injury risk, proximity to vessels/ducts. Novel local therapies that can be integrated with systemic regimens are urgently needed. Histotripsy is a non-thermal focused ultrasound modality that uses controlled cavitation to mechanically liquefy tissue without thermal coagulation or ionizing radiation, with...
