Pancreatic cancer screening for people with new or worsening diabetes
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study checks whether regular imaging can find pancreatic cancer earlier in people who recently developed diabetes or whose diabetes is getting worse. It may help detect pancreatic problems sooner when treatment options are likely better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 50 or older
- Have diabetes that started within the last 12 months, or diabetes that recently worsened
- Your blood sugar test (HbA1c) must meet the study’s cutoffs or show a rapid change in results
- Be able to have MRI scans with contrast (or be told it is safe for you)
- Have good day-to-day function (performance status 0–1) and be able to consent and come back for visits

This study uses MRI scans to screen for pancreas cancer in people at high risk due to family history or certain gene mutations. It aims to see if MRI can help find cancer early.
This study offers pancreatic cancer screening for people with strong family history or certain inherited gene changes. It may help find pancreatic cancer earlier, when treatment may be more effective.
This trial uses MRI and endoscopic ultrasound to look for early signs of pancreatic cancer in people who have a high risk due to their genes or family history. Finding it early may lead to better treatment options.
This study follows people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes to check their pancreas health using blood tests and MRI scans. It aims to find any early signs of pancreatic disease.
This trial uses an artificial-intelligence tool to help detect pancreatic cancer earlier and track people at higher risk. You may be asked to complete questionnaires and have imaging tests like MRI or CT to see how well the approach works.
This study takes pictures of the pancreas in children and teens (and likely adults) with type 1 diabetes soon after diagnosis. The goal is to learn more about how the pancreas changes with diabetes, which may help future care.
