The goal of this clinical investigation is to learn if a new type of radiotherapy works to treat pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed surgically. It will also learn about the safety of the new treatment when combined with chemotherapy. The treatment involves injecting a radioactive implant (medical device) directly into the pancreatic tumour on one occasion only. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants will:
The study is a multicentre, open-label, prospective, early feasibility clinical investigation to assess the safety, tolerability and feasibility of YntraDose™ treatment following percutaneous administration under Ultrasound/CT guidance.
The investigational device is YntraDose™, which is a locoregional therapy device used for percutaneous radio-ablation of solid tumours delivering targeted radiation using Y-90 microspheres injected directly into the tumour site, within a glue matrix holding the Y-90 microspheres in place. The product is designed for single use.
YntraDose™ is indicated as a neoadjuvant therapy and add-on treatment to first-line standard of care therapy in patients with unresectable LA-PDAC. The aim of YntraDose™ development is to combine it with chemotherapy standard of care (FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel). Combining systemic chemotherapy with radiotherapy for local disease control, may improve time to progression of local disease, pain control, performance status, and quality of survival, and in a neoadjuvant setting may convert tumours to resectability.
YntraDose™ will be administered intratumorally and percutaneously into the pancreas under ultrasound/CT guidance. The Y-90 microspheres have been designed to deliver a localized distribution of beta radiation within the target tumour. The radiation from these particles causes direct damage to cancer cell DNA, which renders them incapable of further cell division and proliferation, leading to tumour shrinkage. The glue matrix is a hydrogel that polymerizes in the site of implantation and serves to retain the Y 90 radioactive microspheres in-situ facilitating the effect of radioactive microspheres in the tumoural tissue only.
Ten (10) patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma meeting the eligibility criteria will be recruited into the clinical investigation.

A Clinical Investigation Report will be prepared according to ISO 14155:2020 (Annex D) and UNI EN ISO 14155:2025. The report will be a record of the investigation conduct and findings and will be subject to approval by the Investigators who will sign the final report. Patient data will be analyzed collectively in accordance with the investigation Statistical Analysis Plan. Individual patients will not be identified in any report, presentation or publication resulting from the study.
As required, a copy of the final Clinical Investigation Report and a summary of the results written in a manner that is understandable to lay persons, will be provided to the Regulatory Authority and/or Ethics Committee responsible for each participating site within 1 year (12 months) from study completion.
Regulatory Authorities and/or Ethics Committees responsible for each investigational site will receive the clinical investigation report and lay person summary.
Results will be posted on clinicaltrials.gov which is a publicly accessible database, 12 months following study completion.

Pain will be assessed using a 11-point NPRS (Numerical Pain Rating Scale). collected at screening and during the follow up period. |
| Pain assessments will be collected during the 2 pre-implantation screening visits and at 1 week, 1 month, 2 months and 3 months following implantation of the investigational device. |
| Patient tumour response following treatment with the medical device | To evaluate the change in the tumour marker carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 levels comparing baseline levels to the (CA) 19-9 levels at follow up. | From baseline assessments to the end of the follow up period at 3 months. |
| Metabolic tumour response evaluation | Metabolic tumour response according to [18F]2-fluoro-2-deoxy-Dglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET) will be measured at baseline and subsequent follow-up time points, for total lesion glycolysis (TLG), standardised uptake values SUVMax and SULMax, target tumour volume change as imaged by CT scans. | From baseline to the to the end of the follow up period at 3 months. |
