  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with high risks for pancreas cancer in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and other related research centers in China.

Who may be able to join

  • From the beginning of the study to the end of the study, the 18-80 year old patients who were admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital and related research centers and who met the high-risk population of pancreatic cancer understood and were willing to participate in the study and signed the informed consent form.
  • In this study, the high-risk population of pancreatic cancer is defined as patients who meet any of the following conditions:
  • A. Patients with previous history of pancreatitis (acute or chronic).

[including hereditary breast cancer ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOCS), carney complex (CNC), familial adenomatous polyps (FAP), hereditary diffuse gastric cancer syndrome (HDGC), juvenile polyposis (JPS), cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM), hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma (HPRCC) and Lynch syndrome]
  • C. Patients with continuous or progressive increase of CA19-9 and CEA.
  • D. Patients with potential malignant pancreatic tumors, including mucinous cystic tumor (MCN) and intraductal papillary myxoma of the pancreas (IPMN).

About this study

Official title: A Cohort Study on Screening and Follow-up of High-risk Population of Pancreatic Cancer Based on Endoscopic Ultrasonography

Study objective: The purpose of this study is to establish a prospective follow-up cohort of high-risk groups of pancreatic cancer, screen early pancreatic cancer through EUS and other means according to the existing clinical process, and evaluate each risk factors. And to prospectively collect biological samples to find molecular markers for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Study design: This is a real world, multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study.

Read the detailed description

This study intends to conduct pancreatic MR screening for the high-risk population of pancreatic cancer who meet the requirements and voluntarily participate in this study (see eligibility criteria), and retain baseline information and peripheral blood, dental plaque and stool samples.

  1. For patients with solid mass of the pancreas, continue diagnosis and treatment according to the routine clinical path.

II. For patients with MPD dilatation but no clear solid pancreatic mass, EUS examination should be performed after excluding contraindications. During EUS, duodenal fluid samples were collected.

III. If solid mass is found in EUS, FNA shall be performed. If the pathological examination is positive, the patient shall be diagnosed with PDAC and treated according to the clinical routine path of PDAC. If the pathological biopsy sample is negative, repeat FNA after an appropriate interval (1 to 3 months later).

IV. If no solid mass is found in EUS, follow up the patient every 6-12 months for EUS and/or MR examination.

  1. For patients with cystic lesions, EUS examination is performed after contraindications are excluded. During EUS, duodenal fluid samples were collected. If solid components such as mural nodules or "worrisome features" are found, FNA will be performed. In order to make a clear diagnosis of some cases, FNA+nCLE will be performed at the same time, and cystic fluid samples will be taken to continue diagnosis and treatment according to the clinical guidelines. If no solid lesions and "worrisome features" are found, follow up the patient every 6-12 months and perform EUS and/or MR examinations.

VI. Follow up and perform pancreatic MR examination every 12 months for those with no clear pancreatic lesions found on pancreatic MR.

The main outcome of this study was the discovery of pancreatic T1 PDAC (tumor diameter < 2cm), or no pancreatic disease was found during the 5-year follow-up period.

The secondary outcome of this study was the discovery of other levels of PDAC, IPMN, chronic pancreatitis, autoimmune pancreatitis and other pancreatic diseases.

The samples involved in this study include baseline and follow-up samples (peripheral blood, dental plaque, stool samples), EUS-FNA solid mass aspiration tissue samples or cystic fluid samples of cystic lesions, and duodenal fluid samples collected during EUS examination. The collected samples were analyzed by transcriptomics, proteomics and next generation sequencing to study the clinical characteristics, molecular, flora markers and gene sequences related to the diagnosis of early pancreatic cancer.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Endoscopic ultrasoundDevice

    Use endoscopic ultrasound to examine the pancreatic lesions.

  • EUS-Fine needle aspirationProcedure or surgery

    If solid mass of pancreas was found during EUS, EUS-FNA shall be conducted for diagnosis.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 2 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Apr 2024. 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.

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Xi Wu, M.D. (+86 13683296860, wxpumch@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants with T1 PDAC (time frame: 5 years). 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 Apr 2024.
