NCT ID NCT06705335

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new way to predict how pancreatic cancer will progress, helping doctors tailor treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find a clear link, and results may not apply to all patients.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Indication for biopsy of metastasis(es) performed as part of standard care for patients who already have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. 2. Indication for pancreatic surgery or metastasis(es) carried out as part of standard care for patients with a suspicion of pancreatic cancer on radiological assessment or who already have a confirmed histological diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. 3. Whatever the stage of the disease. 4. Whatever the type of treatment proposed (systemic, surgery, radiotherapy, etc.). 5. Patient who has never received systemic treatment or advanced radiotherapy. 6. WHO 0-1-2. 7. Life expectancy \> 3 months. 8.
