About this study

Official title: Michigan Center for Pancreatic Cancer Molecular Diagnosis: The Serum Protein Microarray Project

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is examining blood samples from patients with cancer to identify biomarkers that may help in the early detection of pancreatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Identify specific proteins of interest to evaluate for their potential role as markers for pancreatic cancer.
  • Analyze serum proteins directly by mass spectrometry to identify new biomarkers of pancreatic cancer that can be used for early diagnosis.

OUTLINE: Blood from patients is collected prior to treatment. Plasma proteins are analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS) and/or electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI/MS).

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 120 patients will be accrued for this study.

Being tested
protein expression analysis, laboratory biomarker analysis, mass spectrometry, surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry
Keywords
stage I pancreatic cancer, stage II pancreatic cancer, stage III pancreatic cancer, stage IV pancreatic cancer
Medical subject headings
Pancreatic Neoplasms

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification of specific proteins of interest to evaluate for their potential role as markers for pancreatic cancer

    Measured: Upon collection when patient agrees to provide a one time venous blood collection

  2. Analysis of serum proteins directly by mass spectrometry to identify new biomarkers of pancreatic cancer that can be used for early diagnosis

    Measured: After separation from the plasma

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Cancer, run by Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute 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?

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 9 Mar 2016. 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?

Identification of specific proteins of interest to evaluate for their potential role as markers for pancreatic cancer (time frame: Upon collection when patient agrees to provide a one time venous blood collection). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Mar 2016.
