Prospectively Defining Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Subtypes by Comprehensive Genomic Analysis

Investigating Genetic Subtypes in Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. It looks at changes in genes that might affect how the disease responds to treatment. The purpose of this study is to see if examining these genetic characteristics can help in choosing treatments for patients in the future.

The study focuses on evaluating the genetic changes in patients' tumors and blood samples. It will explore how these changes relate to the effectiveness of initial chemotherapy treatments. Researchers will look at the genetic information to understand its potential use in guiding future treatments.

  • Who can participate: Adults aged 18 and older with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma may participate. Participants must be planned for first-line systemic therapy with specific chemotherapy regimens and have adequate organ function.
  • Study details: Participants will provide blood and tumor samples for genetic analysis. Some may receive an investigational medication along with standard chemotherapy. A placebo will be used in some instances.

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.
