Study Summary

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.

Primary Outcome

Gehan-Breslow-Wilcoxon test and Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test will be used to compare progression free survival (PSF) between the groups with and without sonoporation.
