Taking blood samples for pancreatic and related cancer research
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study asks people receiving care at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital to provide samples that can help researchers study tumor material. If you have pancreatic disease—or you’re getting care for something else (like a routine colonoscopy)—your samples may be used to compare findings and improve future research.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re receiving care at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania
- You’re being evaluated or treated for a pancreatic disease, or you may be asked as a control sample for a non-pancreatic care visit
- You (or a legally authorized person) can agree to the study by signing informed consent
- You must be 18 years old or older
- You cannot be in prison to join the study

This study looks at blood tests to find markers that may help detect and monitor pancreatic cancer. It compares people with pancreatic cancer to those with benign pancreatic conditions and healthy volunteers.
This study looks at blood samples from people with newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer to understand how the immune system responds. It may help find better ways to treat the disease in the future.
This study collects samples of substances in your blood to learn more about pancreatic cancer. It may help researchers find better ways to track the disease or understand which patients may benefit from future treatments.
This study collects health information and stored samples (biospecimens) to learn more about pancreatic diseases, including cancer and early warning changes. It may help researchers understand who is at higher risk and improve future testing and care.
This study collects health information and tissue samples from people with pancreatic cancer or other pancreatic conditions. Your participation may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve future care.
This study collects medical and lab information from adults with pancreatic cancer to help researchers understand care and outcomes. You may be asked for follow-up visits and basic data, and it may be used to improve future treatments.
