Blood test study for pancreatic cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, a benign pancreatic condition, or be healthy.
- If you have pancreatic cancer, you may be planning surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation, depending on the group.
- You must not have had chemotherapy or radiation in the last 3 months if you have advanced pancreatic cancer.
- You must not have another active cancer (except non-melanoma skin cancer) or a known genetic condition that increases cancer risk.

This study is testing a new blood test to find pancreatic cancer early. It looks for tiny bits of cancer DNA floating in your blood, which could help catch the disease before symptoms start.
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 looks at how certain substances in your blood and bacteria in your gut might help predict pancreatic cancer, especially in people with chronic pancreatitis. It aims to find early warning signs to catch cancer sooner.
This trial uses a blood test (called cfDNA) to look for early signs of pancreatic cancer. It compares results from people with pancreatic cancer, precancerous changes, non-cancerous pancreatic conditions, and healthy individuals to improve early detection.
This study looks at “biomarkers” (test signals in tissue or blood) in people with pancreatic cancer. It may help researchers understand the disease better and find ways to predict or track it.
This study aims to find new ways to detect liver, bile duct, and pancreatic cancers early using a blood test. It may help doctors diagnose these cancers sooner, when they are easier to treat.
