Pancreatic cancer blood test study pulled before it began
NCT ID NCT05188573
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to see if a simple blood test could spot early signs of pancreatic cancer in adults aged 50 and older who were recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The plan was to enroll 10,000 participants and follow up with MRI scans for those with a positive test result. However, the study was withdrawn before any volunteers were enrolled, so no results are available.
