Checking pancreas health after a new diabetes diagnosis
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes to check their pancreas health using blood tests and scans. The goal is to find early signs of pancreatic issues, which might help catch problems sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 84 years old
- You were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or had a high blood sugar test (HbA1c) within the last 200 days
- You are willing to give blood samples (about 2 tablespoons) at each visit
- You are willing and able to have an MRI or CT scan
- You have not had pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis, or surgery on your pancreas

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study checks whether regular imaging can find pancreatic cancer earlier in people who recently developed diabetes or whose diabetes is getting worse. It may help detect pancreatic problems sooner when treatment options are likely better.
This study takes pictures of the pancreas in children and teens (and likely adults) with type 1 diabetes soon after diagnosis. The goal is to learn more about how the pancreas changes with diabetes, which may help future care.
This study looks at “tumor regulatory molecules,” which are substances that may be released by cancer, to improve early pancreatic cancer detection. You may join if you have early, localized pancreatic cancer that can be treated with surgery, or certain pancreatic cysts/fluid collections where doctors are investigating further.
This study looks at how the pancreas affects blood sugar and diabetes. It may help find better ways to prevent or treat type 2 diabetes.
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 looks at blood “markers” to find early signs or higher risk for pancreatic cancer. You may join if you have certain risk factors (like new diabetes, pancreatic cysts/pancreatitis, or a strong family history) and can come to Omaha for blood draws twice a year.
