About this study
Official title: Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer: Prospective Study
This study aims to prospective validate an exosome-based miRNA signature for noninvasive and early detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
Read the detailed description
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. It often goes undetected until it is at an advanced stage, making it challenging to treat. Currently, only a small percentage of patients are diagnosed early enough for effective treatment. While a blood marker exists, called serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), it is used primarily to track the disease, and it is unreliable for early detection.
To address this problem, the researchers have developed a new method to analyze circulating vesicles (called exosomes), which contain specific genetic material called microRNAs (miRNAs). In a previous study, by analyzing both the miRNAs that circulate freely in serum and the miRNAs that are inside the exosomes, the researchers have already identified a combination of 13 miRNAs that could accurately detect early-stage PDAC.
In this study, the researchers will test this method in a larger international cohort study. This study aims to confirm the effectiveness of this approach in identifying PDAC at its earliest stages.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
PANcreatic cancer Exosome Early detectiON (PANXEON)Diagnostic test
Also called PANXEON (PANcreatic cancer Exosome Early detectiON)
This test will utilize quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to quantify the expression levels of 5 cell-free and 8 exosome-miRNAs in plasma samples obtained from patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and from individuals without it

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Sensitivity
True positive rate: the probability of a positive test result, conditioned on the individual truly being positive
Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary outcomes (2)
Specificity
True negative rate: the probability of a negative test result, conditioned on the individual truly being negative
Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Accuracy
A measure of trueness: proportion of correct predictions (both true positives and true negatives) among the total number of cases examined
Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
