NCT ID NCT05847855

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing a new blood test that looks at fragments of DNA to find pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors early and tell them apart from other pancreatic tumors. Researchers will collect blood from 1,000 adults with different types of pancreatic tumors to see how accurate the test is. If it works, it could lead to earlier detection and better treatment decisions.
