Blood sample bank for pancreatic cancer patients and controls
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study collects and stores blood samples (“serum bank”) from people with pancreatic cancer and from comparison participants. The goal is to help researchers study the disease and improve future diagnosis or treatment planning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (at least 18 for the pancreatic cancer group; at least 40 for the control group).
- If you’re in the pancreatic cancer group: you have a confirmed pancreatic cancer adenocarcinoma (a specific type of cancer).
- Samples are taken before surgery or your first chemotherapy treatment (for the cancer group).
- You must be able to join through the local health/social security coverage requirement.
- You must not have severe liver disease (Child-Pugh B or C cirrhosis).
- You must be able to give consent in an appropriate language (no language barrier).

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.
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 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 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 creates a collection of blood and tissue samples from people with liver, bile duct, gallbladder, or pancreatic conditions, as well as healthy volunteers. The samples are stored to help researchers better understand these diseases and find new treatments.
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.
