Trial summary

The research purpose of this project is to create a registry, and blood and tissue bank for individuals at high-risk for pancreatic cancer. We plan to conduct histopathological and molecular analysis of resected pancreatic tissue prospectively collected from a cohort of pancreatic cancer patients. Read more about this study

Study population: Patients who are identified by a clinician as having either 1) a strong family history of pancreatic cancer; or 2) evidence (radiological or pathological) of local tumor recurrence following surgical resection, will be included in the study.

  • Have at least 2 relatives (of whom one must be first-degree relative) with pancreatic cancer, or have been diagnosed with a a genetic syndrome which is associated with pancreatic cancer (among the included syndromes include BRCA1/2, FAMMM, Peutz-Jeghers, HNPCC, Hereditary Pancreatitis) -OR- Have radiological or pathological (fine needle aspirate or surgical biopsy) evidence of local tumor recurrence following surgery.

Who cannot join

  • Metastatic disease discovered at presentation or on recurrence (exception is the familial PDC patients)

About this study

Official title: Refining the Molecular Progression From Intraductal to Invasive Pancreatic Cancer: Correlating Genetic Profiles and Clinicopathological Phenotypes in Sporadic and Familial Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

The research purpose of this project is to create a registry, and blood and tissue bank for individuals at high-risk for pancreatic cancer. We plan to conduct histopathological and molecular analysis of resected pancreatic tissue prospectively collected from a cohort of pancreatic cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

Pancreatic cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. In order to improve outcomes of this disease, significant research efforts have focused on understanding the changes that occur in the pancreas prior to tumor occurrence. The types of changes most often associated with tumor have been named pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN). It is not yet clear how to identify the PanIN lesions most likely to develop into cancer and the length of time required for this progression. In order to evaluate these questions, we are interested in examining the microscopic and genetic characteristics of PanIN lesions in two "high-risk" patients: 1) patients who underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer and developed tumor recurrence after surgery and 2) patients with a strong family history of pancreatic cancer or with a genetic syndrome that puts them at risk for pancreas cancer. The surgical specimens from these patients will be evaluated by a pathologist for evidence of widespread PanIN lesions. In addition, PanIN lesions will be tested for abnormalities in several major genes that are known to be important in pancreatic cancer.

Recurrence patientsPatients who underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer and developed tumor recurrence after surgery

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of subjects with histological features of PanIN lesions assessed

    Distinctive histological features of PanIN within surgical specimens of our two study groups will be assessed by pathologists.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluation of clonality multifocal PanIN lesions

    Using microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) to evaluate the samples.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Evaluation of Recurrence Mechanism in PDC

    aCGH will also be utilized to evaluate recurrence mechanism in a set of cases in which both original tumor and recurrence tumor was resected, allowing for clonal origins to be evaluated.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Cancer, run by Columbia University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of subjects with histological features of PanIN lesions assessed (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jun 2021.
