Using tumor exosomes to diagnose pancreatic cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses a simple blood test to detect tiny particles from tumors, called exosomes, to help diagnose pancreatic cancer or chronic pancreatitis. It aims to improve early detection and guide treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer or chronic pancreatitis based on imaging scans like CT or MRI.
- You do not have any other types of cancer.
- You do not have any other serious long-term illnesses.

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 is looking for a new way to catch pancreatic cancer early by checking your immune system's signals. It compares people with pancreatic cancer, people with non-cancerous pancreatic growths, and healthy volunteers to find a simple blood test that could help diagnose the disease sooner.
This study uses blood taken from a vein to build and check diagnostic models for pancreatic cancer. It may help doctors identify pancreatic cancer more accurately in people who have a suspected mass on imaging.
This study looks at a special analysis of your blood (called cfDNA fragmentomics) to help find and tell apart certain early pancreatic tumors. If you’re having surgery for one of the listed solid pancreatic tumors, this trial may use your blood samples to improve diagnosis.
This trial studies whether a blood-based test can help detect pancreatic cancer (or strong signs of it) earlier than usual. The goal is to see how well “liquid biopsy” results match real diagnoses and risk levels.
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.
