NCT ID NCT04616131
First seen Jun 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is looking at whether a blood test can detect tiny bits of pancreatic cancer DNA in patients before, during, and after chemotherapy. Researchers hope this could help predict how well the treatment is working. The study involves 500 adults with pancreatic cancer that has not spread to other organs.
