Simple blood test could spot infections faster after pancreatic surgery
NCT ID NCT07248527
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new blood test called ICIS to see if it can detect infections earlier in patients recovering from pancreatic surgery. Researchers will track ICIS levels in 400 adults during their hospital stay, using routine blood samples. The goal is to improve early infection detection, support safer recovery, and reduce complications after surgery.

- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The test may not prove accurate enough to change practice, and results may not apply to all patients or hospitals.
