This study investigates borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study is to explore the use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to monitor Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) in patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy.
The study evaluates the relationship between MRD status and surgical outcomes, such as R0 resection rates, and survival outcomes including Disease-Free Survival (DFS) and Overall Survival (OS).
- Who can participate: Adults aged 18 to 75 with confirmed pancreatic cancer that is high-risk resectable, borderline resectable, or locally advanced can participate. Participants must have a good performance status and be suitable for neoadjuvant therapy.
- Study details: Participants will receive standard care decided by their doctors and have blood tests to check for MRD. A placebo is not used in this study.
- Study timelines: The study will last 24 months.
