Phase N/A

Researchers are using a new method called EXPEL to find markers in pancreatic cancer. **Markers** are like special signals or clues that help doctors diagnose diseases. **EXPEL** looks at fluid around tissues to find these markers, which helps because it's not destructive and can be used with regular medical tests. This method uses **OMICS profiling**, a way to study all kinds of molecules in a sample, like proteins and DNA, to get a complete picture of what's happening in the body.

The study will use fluid from a procedure called endoscopic ultrasound, where a needle is used to take a tissue sample from the pancreas. The fluid leftover, called Cytolyt, might hold important information about cancer. The goal is to find new markers that might help diagnose pancreatic cancer earlier.

  • The study involves using leftover liquid from a routine medical test.
  • Participants must be adults with suspected pancreatic cancer who haven't begun treatment.
  • This study doesn't require any extra visits or procedures.

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.
