Breath test for pancreatic cancer detection
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a simple breath test can help detect pancreatic cancer earlier. If you have been referred for possible pancreatic cancer, you may be able to take part.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older
- Your doctor referred you for urgent testing for possible pancreatic cancer, or you were referred to a pancreatic cancer team
- You have not had surgery to remove part of your pancreas
- You have not had another cancer (except certain skin cancers) in the last 3 years
- You are not pregnant, can breathe comfortably into a collection bag, and are willing to give consent

This study checks whether breathing out certain chemicals (volatile organic compounds) can help identify pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (pancreatic cancer) or related pancreas problems. You may qualify if you’re an adult with suspected/confirmed pancreatic conditions and can safely take part in breath testing or surgery-related tissue collection.
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 studies a blood test to find pancreatic cancer early. It may help people who are at risk or have suspicious signs.
This study looks for proteins in the blood that could help doctors tell the difference between pancreatic cancer and non-cancerous pancreatic conditions, such as chronic pancreatitis or benign cysts. By participating, you could help improve early and accurate diagnosis, which may lead to better outcomes for future patients.
This trial tests a new blood test that uses tiny particles and a laser to find signs of pancreatic cancer earlier. It may help people with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) or intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN), a type of cyst that can become cancer.
This trial studies a simple breath test to detect cancers of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, and colon. It is for people who have been referred by their doctor for tests because they have symptoms that might be caused by cancer.
