Genomic study of pancreatic cysts
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial collects pancreatic cyst fluid or tissue to study the genes of these tumors. The goal is to better understand pancreatic cysts and improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a pancreatic cyst that is being tested (aspirated, biopsied, or surgically removed).
- You must agree to participate and sign a consent form.
- You cannot have a severe infection, drug abuse, or serious mental illness that might affect the study.

This study collects blood and cystic fluid samples from people who are already scheduled for surgery to remove a worrisome pancreatic cyst. The goal is to learn more about these cysts and possibly improve future diagnosis and treatment.
This registry study collects information from adults who have a pancreatic cyst (a fluid-filled sac in the pancreas). It may help doctors understand these cysts and how they change over time, which can improve future care.
This study looks at how medical images and lab samples can predict which pancreatic cysts or tumors are more likely to be dangerous. If you are being evaluated for a pancreatic problem and haven’t started pancreas treatment, your scans and samples may help researchers improve risk prediction.
This study collects and stores samples (bio-specimens) from adults who have pancreas cysts and are at higher risk for pancreatic cancer. The goal is to help researchers improve early detection so future patients may be diagnosed sooner.
This trial tests whether tamoxifen, a hormone-blocking pill, can prevent pancreatic cysts from turning into cancer in people who are not having surgery to remove the cyst right away.
This study looks for “biomarkers,” or measurable lab signals, in blood and (when available) cyst fluid to understand pancreatic cyst problems and related conditions. It may help doctors better predict what these conditions are and how to manage them.
