Pancreatic mucinous-cystic neoplasm

This study tests a surgery called total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) in 30 adults with certain pancreatic tumors who are at high risk for a dangerous leak after standard surgery. The procedure removes the entire pancreas and transplants the insulin-making…

This early-phase study tests whether tamoxifen, a drug commonly used for breast cancer, can shrink or stabilize pre-cancerous pancreatic cysts in women. The goal is to see if taking tamoxifen for up to 24 weeks can delay or eliminate the need for surgery. The study will enroll 15…

This study tests a less invasive procedure called endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) to treat pancreatic cysts that have a high risk of turning into cancer. About 84 adults with pancreatic cysts at least 2 cm in size and showing concerning features wil…

This trial tests whether giving three treatments together—two medicines and a surgical patch—can lower the risk of major complications after Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer and other tumors. The study includes 400 high-risk patients with a small pancreatic duct. If successf…

This study is testing a new blood test that looks at tiny particles called exosomes and their microRNA content, analyzed by machine learning, to detect pancreatic cancer early. It involves 600 people at high risk due to family history or pancreatic cysts. The goal is to see if th…

This study aims to develop a non-invasive breath test to detect pancreatic cancer earlier. Pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed late because early symptoms are vague. The test measures tiny molecules in breath that may signal cancer. Researchers will collect breath and urine samp…

This study is testing an artificial intelligence model called Cyst-AI that uses endoscopic ultrasound images and patient data to help doctors tell apart different types of pancreatic cysts. The goal is to improve diagnosis and guide treatment decisions. Researchers plan to enroll…

This study is tracking 20,000 people who have a family history of pancreatic cancer or carry genes that raise their risk. Researchers hope to find better ways to detect the disease early, when it's more treatable. Participants will be followed over time to see who develops pancre…

The PREDICT study is creating a registry and biospecimen bank for people with pancreatic disease or at high risk for pancreatic cancer. Researchers will collect blood, tissue, urine, and other samples from 1,000 participants to study the causes and biology of the disease. This is…

This study is following 1,250 people at higher risk for pancreas cancer, including those with new diabetes, pancreatic cysts, or a family history. Researchers will collect blood samples and health data twice a year for several years. The goal is to find early markers in the blood…
