Biospecimen Collection to Identify Gene Mutations for High Risk Pancreatic Cancer in Pediatric Patients, INSPPIRE 2 Study

Investigational Study on Genetic Mutations Linked to Pancreatic Cancer Risk in Children

Recruiting
17 years and younger
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates pancreatic cancer in children. It looks for genetic mutations that might increase the chance of developing this condition.

The study evaluates genetic markers in pediatric patients with acute recurrent pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis to identify those at risk for pancreatic cancer.

  • Who can participate: Children under 18 years old who have acute recurrent pancreatitis or chronic pancreatitis can participate. They must have parental consent and meet specific health criteria.
  • Study details: Participants will provide blood, saliva, urine, or stool samples to identify genetic mutations. A placebo is not used in this study.
  • Study timelines: The study will last 4 years.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
