NCT ID NCT06705335

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This observational study is analyzing tumor and blood samples from 50 people with pancreatic cancer to measure levels of certain proteins called convertases. Researchers want to see if these protein levels are linked to immune cells in the tumor, which could help predict how the disease will progress. The study does not test any new treatment, but aims to improve understanding of the cancer.
