Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population includes adult patients receiving care at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine who are diagnosed with hepatobiliary or pancreatic malignant tumors, as well as patients with benign hepatobiliary or pancreatic diseases. Selected healthy adult volunteers may also be included as controls. Participants are enrolled without altering routine medical care, and biological specimens and related clinical data are collected for biobanking and future research purposes.

Who may be able to join

  • Adults aged 18 years or older.
  • Patients diagnosed with hepatobiliary or pancreatic malignant tumors, including but not limited to hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder cancer, and pancreatic cancer; or patients with benign hepatobiliary or pancreatic diseases; or selected healthy volunteers.
  • Receiving medical care or health evaluation at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine.
  • Able and willing to provide written informed consent, unless waived or exempted by the institutional ethics committee for retrospective samples.
  • Willing to allow collection and storage of biological specimens and related clinical data for research purposes.

Who cannot join

  • Age younger than 18 years.

  • Presence of conditions that, in the opinion of the investigators, make participation inappropriate or infeasible.
  • Refusal to allow the collection or use of biological specimens or clinical data for research.

About this study

Official title: Establishment of a Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Tumor Biobank at a Single Academic Medical Center

This study aims to establish a hepatobiliary and pancreatic tumor biobank at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. The biobank will systematically collect and store human biological samples, such as blood, tissue, bile, and other body fluids, together with relevant clinical and follow-up information from patients with hepatobiliary and pancreatic tumors, benign hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases, and selected healthy volunteers.

The collection of samples will be performed without changing routine medical care and will not involve any experimental treatment or additional invasive procedures for research purposes. Biological samples will be obtained during standard clinical diagnosis and treatment, or from remaining specimens after routine clinical use.

All samples and data will be coded and stored according to ethical and legal requirements to protect participants' privacy. The biobank is intended to serve as a long-term research resource to support future basic, translational, and clinical research on hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases, with the goal of improving understanding of disease mechanisms and advancing medical research in this field.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed as a single-center, observational biobank project conducted at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. The primary purpose of this study is to establish and maintain a structured hepatobiliary and pancreatic tumor biobank that integrates biological specimens with corresponding clinical and follow-up data for long-term research use.

Eligible participants include adult patients diagnosed with hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignant tumors, patients with benign hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases, and selected healthy volunteers. Enrollment is based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and participation requires written informed consent unless otherwise approved by the institutional ethics committee for retrospective samples.

Biological specimens collected in this biobank may include peripheral blood, tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissue, bile, and other body fluids. Sample collection is performed without altering routine medical care and does not involve experimental treatments or additional invasive procedures for research purposes. Specimens are obtained during standard diagnostic or therapeutic procedures or from remaining clinical specimens after routine use.

Clinical information associated with each participant, such as demographic characteristics, diagnosis, pathology findings, treatment details, and follow-up outcomes, is systematically collected from existing medical records and follow-up systems. All data and specimens are coded and de-identified prior to storage to ensure participant confidentiality.

The biobank is intended to function as a long-term research infrastructure. Biological samples and data may be used in future ethically approved basic, translational, or clinical studies related to hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases. Each secondary use of samples or data will require appropriate ethical review and approval in accordance with institutional and regulatory requirements.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepotacellular Carcinoma and Cholangiocarcinoma, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 15 Jan 2026. 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?

Successful Establishment of a Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Tumor Biobank (time frame: up to 5 years). 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 15 Jan 2026.
