About this study

To assess whether EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound) can serve as a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying PDAC at an early stage in individuals who have recently been diagnosed with diabetes.

Purpose: To improve the rates of early detection of pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a type of cancer that starts in the pancreas, a gland located in your abdomen. It happens when some cells in the pancreas start growing abnormally and form a cancer.

Being tested
A blood sample for CA 19-9 (cancer detection test)

What participants receive

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

  • A blood sample for CA 19-9 (cancer detection test)Procedure or surgery

    • A blood sample for CA 19-9 (cancer detection test) levels will be taken at baseline.
    • Contrast CT abdomen - Pancreas protocol will be done at baseline.
    • EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound) under moderate sedation will be done at baseline to you.
    • If suspicious lesion is found on examination, Fine Needle Aspiration - FNA will be done.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of PDAC at 3 years

    Measured: 3yrs

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. • Incidence of PDAC at baseline • Incidence of resectable PDAC at baseline • Incidence of resectable PDAC at 3 years

    Measured: baseline and 3yrs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC), run by Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, India.

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 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Oct 2023. 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?

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?

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?

Incidence of PDAC at 3 years (time frame: 3yrs). 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 24 Oct 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
