New MRI scan and blood tests to find early signs of pancreatic cancer in people with IPMN
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a special MRI scan and blood tests to see if they can detect early pancreatic cancer in people with high-risk pancreatic cysts called IPMNs. It may help identify cancer earlier, when treatment is more likely to work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have a pancreatic cyst that is considered high risk and needs to be removed by surgery.
- You do not have pancreatic cancer already.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are able to lie flat and tolerate an MRI scan (no severe anxiety or claustrophobia).
- Your liver and kidney function must be within safe limits, and you must not have serious heart problems.

This trial studies whether blood markers can help predict which pancreatic IPMNs are likely to become cancerous. If successful, it could help doctors decide when surgery is needed.
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 uses MRI scans to screen for pancreas cancer in people at high risk due to family history or certain gene mutations. It aims to see if MRI can help find cancer early.
This study is testing a new imaging method called LINFU® to see if it can find pancreatic cancer early in people who are at higher risk but have no symptoms. If you are at elevated risk for pancreatic cancer and are already getting imaging tests, this study may help improve early detection.
This study looks at MRI scans, computer-extracted imaging features, and blood/“liquid biopsy” tests after FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy to predict whether surgery can fully remove pancreatic cancer. It may help your care team choose the best next step—whether surgery is likely to be possible and how to plan it.
This study looks at using MRI scans to find pancreatic cancer early in people who have certain types of pancreatic cysts that may raise their risk. If you have these cysts, joining could help catch any cancer sooner, when it might be easier to treat.
