  • Patients with pancreatic cancer with recognized diagnostic criteria or conclusions.
  • Patients who are the high-risk group of pancreatic cancer.
  • Patients with solid pseudo papilloma and neuroendocrine tumors of pancreas with recognized diagnostic criteria or conclusions.
  • Patients with other diseases with abnormally elevated CA19-9.
  • Control group:
  • Patients without pancreatic disease assessed by laboratory tests and imaging examinations have no CA19-9 elevation.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who are younger than 18 years of age.

About this study

Official title: Pancreatic Cancer Screening Through the Detection of Elastase-1 Combined With Other Examinations: A Multicenter, Prospective, Diagnostic Clinical Cohort Study.

This is a prospective cohort study. The investigators enroll subjects with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), individuals at high risk for PDAC, patients with other pancreatic diseases, patients with CA19-9 elevation and controls without pancreatic disease. This study aims to establish a diagnostic prediction model by using elastase 1, common clinical serological examinations, and imaging examinations including endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), and to explore the diagnostic ability of the model in the high-risk population of PDAC. Besides, the investigators search for new biomarkers by multi-omics studies of serum and pancreatic tissues to further improve the diagnostic performance of this model. In conclusion, this study seeks a robust diagnostic prediction model to diagnose PDAC, especially early resectable PDAC.

Being tested
Pancreatic elastase-1 in blood serum
Medical subject headings
Pancreatic Diseases, Adenoma, Islet Cell, Pancreatitis, Pancreatic Neoplasms

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pancreatic elastase-1 in blood serumDiagnostic test

    Also called Multiomics in blood serum or tissue

    Serum samples were collected from each patient to detect serum multiomics and pancreatic elastase-1 (PE-1). We examine multiomics in the pancreatic tissue collected from the patient who had undergone surgery or the necessary puncture examination and signed the informed consent form.

What is being measured

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

  1. The diagnostic value (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and positive and negative predictive values)

    The diagnostic value of diagnostic model in diagnosing PDAC, especially early resectable PDAC.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The diagnostic value (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and positive and negative predictive values)

    The diagnostic value of diagnostic model versus EUS or other imaging examinations combined with diagnostic model in diagnosing PDAC.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. The content of elastase 1

    The content of elastase-1 in cystic fluid and serum are measured (units: ng/dl)

    Measured: 2 years

  3. The diagnostic value (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and positive and negative predictive values)

    The ability of diagnostic models, multi-omics novel tumor markers, and common tumor markers to distinguish PDAC, benign pancreatic disease, borderline malignant disease, patients with abnormally elevated CA199, and controls without pancreatic disease.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. The diagnostic value (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and positive and negative predictive values)

    The diagnostic value of the diagnostic model, new tumor markers of multi-omics, and the common tumor markers to distinguish pancreatic tumors of different sites and sizes.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma and Pancreatic Diseases, run by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University at 1 site in China.

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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2024. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Zhen Li, MD (18560086106, qilulizhen@sdu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The diagnostic value (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and positive and negative predictive values) (time frame: 2 years). 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 18 Oct 2024.
