Genetic study of pancreatic cysts
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at the genetic material (genomics) of pancreatic cysts to better understand them and possibly improve diagnosis or treatment. By studying fluid or tissue from your cyst, researchers hope to find markers that can help guide care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a cyst in your pancreas.
- You are planning to have the cyst fluid sampled, a biopsy, or surgery to remove the cyst.
- You are able to give written permission (informed consent) to join the study.
- You do not have severe infections, substance abuse problems, or severe mental illness that would make the study unsafe.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 uses scans to measure how common “fatty change” is in the pancreas. It then looks at whether fatty change is related to specific features of pancreatic cysts (and may also include healthy people).
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 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.
This study builds a “molecular marker” lab model using pancreatic cyst fluid taken during planned pancreatic surgery. It aims to help tell which pancreatic cystic tumors are which, based on fluid analysis.
