Trial summary

Ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is the fifth leading cause of cancer related deaths in the European Union. Tumor markers CA19-9 and carcinoembryonic antigen are important components in decision making and follow-up of patients diagnosed with this disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is the fifth leading cause of cancer related deaths in the European Union. Tumor markers CA19-9 and carcinoembryonic antigen are important components in decision making and follow-up of patients diagnosed with this disease.

These tumor markers were found to be elevated not only in the serum but also in other body fluids in patients with malignant lesions of the parotid gland and the urinary tract. The authors have described in a previews small preliminary study a positive and a strong linear correlation between the levels of CA19-9 in urine and saliva with those presented in the serum of patients with ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. The current study seeks to enlarge the study population to confirm the previous results and standardize the measured levels of CA19-9 in these body fluids.

What is being measured

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

  1. correlation of CA19-9 levels in urine and saliva with those in the serum

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participants needed to standardize the measurements in urine and saliva according to those measured in the serum.

    upper and lower levels of CA19-9 measured in urine and saliva are not yet standardized. and repeated measurements in these body fluids compared to the ones in serum of healthy subjects are needed for such standardization.

    Measured: 1 year

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

Contact Offir Ben-Ishay, MD (00-972-50-2063177, o_ben-ishay@Rambam.health.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

correlation of CA19-9 levels in urine and saliva with those in the serum (time frame: 1 year). 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?
