Study of gut microbes using stored pancreatic tissue
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at differences in microbes (tiny organisms) using previously collected pancreatic tissue samples. It may help doctors understand how the microbiome relates to pancreatic diseases like pancreatic cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your age is between 5 and 85 years
- You had planned pancreatic surgery, and the pathology report confirms pancreatic cancer or another pancreatic disease
- In the 3 months before surgery, you did not take antibiotics
- In the 3 months before surgery, you did not eat yogurt with probiotics
- Your heart, liver, and kidney are not severely damaged

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at the bacteria living in your gut and pancreas to understand how they might affect pancreatic cancer and precancerous changes. It is for people who are already scheduled for an endoscopic procedure to look at or treat a pancreatic lesion.
This study looks at how tiny organisms in your gut (the microbiome) affect recovery after surgery for pancreatic cancer or related growths. It may help doctors understand how to improve outcomes for future patients.
This trial studies bacteria found inside pancreatic tumors to see if they can help diagnose or predict the course of the disease. You may be eligible if you have a suspected pancreatic cancer and need a special biopsy (EUS-FNB).
This study looks at how changing the gut microbiome (gut bacteria) may help people with pancreatic cancer regain strength and slow or reverse cancer-related weight loss (cachexia). It also studies gut bacteria differences in people with pancreatic cancer who are losing weight versus those whose weight is stable, and in healthy volunteers.
This study looks at gut bacteria in people who had Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer and in healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how the microbiome changes after surgery.
This study uses small pancreatic cancer samples grown in the lab to understand which treatments may work best for people with pancreatic cancer. It may help researchers better “profile” tumors so standard care can be matched to the most effective options.
