Glucose and bacteria in pancreatic conditions
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood sugar levels and gut bacteria relate to pancreatic problems, including cysts, inflammation, and cancer. By joining, you help researchers understand these connections better, which could lead to new ways to treat or manage these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You are being seen, treated, or monitored for a pancreatic or nearby (periampullary) condition, which may be benign, pre-cancerous, or cancerous, including cysts or pancreatitis.
- You are willing to give written consent to take part in at least one part of the study, such as wearing a glucose monitor or providing a stool sample.

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.
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 looks at how well blood sugar (glucose) levels can be monitored and managed in people with pancreatic cancer who are starting their first treatment. It aims to understand if careful glucose management can improve well-being and possibly treatment outcomes.
This study looks at how different types of pancreatic surgery (removing part or all of the pancreas) affect blood sugar control in people who already have diabetes. It aims to understand how these operations change the body's metabolism and overall health, which may help improve care for patients.
This study looks at blood markers and gut bacteria to better understand the risk of pancreatic cancer in people with chronic pancreatitis (long-term pancreas inflammation). It may help detect cancer earlier or guide prevention.
This study looks at the bacteria living in your gut and pancreas to understand how they might affect pancreatic cancer and precancerous changes. It is for people who are already scheduled for an endoscopic procedure to look at or treat a pancreatic lesion.
