Volatile Organic Compound Assessment in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (VAPOR2)

Evaluating a Breath Test for Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. It focuses on developing a non-invasive breath test that detects small molecules, known as volatile organic compounds, produced by pancreatic cancers.

The study evaluates how well this breath test can identify pancreatic cancer in patients referred for further investigations. The focus is on assessing the test's accuracy in detecting cancer-specific compounds.

  • Who can participate: Adults aged 18 and over referred from primary care for potential pancreatic cancer can participate. Key exclusions include a history of pancreatic surgery, recent other cancers, pregnancy, and inability to provide consent.
  • Study details: Participants will provide breath samples for analysis.

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.
