Lewis antigen test for pancreatic cancer prognosis
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how a special blood test (Lewis antigen) combined with a standard CA19-9 test might help predict the outlook for people with pancreatic cancer. You will give a small extra blood sample and have routine follow-up tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (a type of pancreatic cancer).
- You are able to be up and about at least half the day (ECOG score 0-2).
- You do not have another type of cancer besides pancreatic cancer.
- You are willing to give a small blood sample (about 2-3 ml) for the Lewis antigen test and to have your CA19-9 levels checked regularly.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This study tests whether a blood test that looks at DNA changes (ctDNA methylation) can help predict how pancreatic cancer will behave and guide treatment decisions. It includes people with suspected pancreatic cancer who are planning surgery or a biopsy.
This trial studies a new blood test that looks for cancer-specific immune cells after surgery for pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if the test can detect any remaining cancer cells earlier than standard methods, which could help guide further treatment decisions.
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 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.
