About this study

Official title: Utilizing a Multi-gene Testing Approach to Identify Hereditary Pancreatic Cancer in Consecutive Cases Unselected for Family History

The primary objective of the study will be to estimate the prevalence of germline mutations in patients who present consecutively within 12 weeks of a confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Read the detailed description

The proposed research is a multi-site prospective and observational plan to investigate the prevalence of germline mutations in patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Thirty two genes will be analyzed, all of which have been associated with an increased risk for cancer. The genes are included on CancerNextTM a multi-gene next generation sequencing and array CGH test. The 32 genes include: APC, ATM, BARD1, BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, BMPR1A, CDH1, CDK4, CDKN2A, CHEK2, EPCAM, GREM1, MLH1, MRE11A, MSH2, MSH6, MUTYH, NBN, NF1, PALB2, PMS2, POLD1, POLE, PTEN, RAD50, RAD51C, RAD51D, SMAD4, SMARCA4, STK11, and TP53 .

What is being measured

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

  1. Germline Mutation Prevalence

    The primary objective of the study will be to estimate the prevalence of germline mutations in patients who present consecutively to the clinical site within 12 weeks of a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Associate age at diagnosis with germline mutation status and family history

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Access the psychological impact of testing for hereditary pancreatic cancer

    A previously validated questionnaire, the Multidimensional Impact of Cancer Risk Assessment (MICRA) will be used as a measure of the psychological impact of genetic testing.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, run by Ambry Genetics at 3 sites 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 25 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Germline Mutation Prevalence (time frame: 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02790944, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Aug 2020.
