NCT ID NCT07255001
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test if measuring hand grip strength during clinic visits is practical and useful for adults with pancreatic cancer. Fifty participants will squeeze a handheld device and fill out well-being questionnaires alongside their regular care. Researchers want to see if changes in grip strength relate to body composition, quality of life, or how the tumor responds to treatment.
