About this study

Official title: Pancreatic Cancer Serum and Peripheral Blood Lymphocyte Repository

RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of blood from patients with cancer and healthy participants to test in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future.

PURPOSE: This study is collecting and storing samples of blood from patients with pancreatic cancer and healthy participants.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Establish a central pancreatic cancer specimen (including serum and peripheral blood lymphocytes) repository to serve as a resource for current or future scientific studies.
  • Utilize the clinical database to perform clinicopathologic correlation with the results of those studies.
  • Test new hypotheses as they emerge.

OUTLINE: This is a prospective study.

Blood is collected from patients with pancreatic cancer at baseline and then every 3-6 months for up to 2 years. All other participants have blood collected at baseline and complete questionnaires at baseline and then every 3-6 months for up to 2 years. Serum and peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from the blood samples are frozen and stored.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 200 patients and 200 other participants will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Cancer, run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins.

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 20 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Establishment of a central pancreatic cancer specimen repository (time frame: No time frame). The study lists 3 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 20 Nov 2015.
