NCT ID NCT07036978

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study aims to find biological markers in the blood, immune system, and gut microbiome that can help doctors choose the best treatment for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Researchers will collect blood and stool samples from 140 participants in Taiwan and track their response to standard therapy. The goal is to create a personalized treatment plan based on each person's unique profile, potentially improving outcomes.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study will enrol adult patients (age ≥18) with unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, including both locally advanced PDAC (not amenable to surgical resection) and metastatic PDAC. All patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Ages

18 years and older

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Unresectable disease status determined by a multidisciplinary tumour board (either locally advanced disease encasing critical vessels or distant metastases present). 2. Planned initiation of systemic therapy (first-line chemotherapy or chemo + experimental immunotherapy trial) as part of standard care - this ensures a uniform starting point for outcome measurement. 3. Adequate organ function to undergo therapy (renal, hepatic, bone marrow parameters within acceptable range) and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2, indicating patients well enough to participate and undergo required blood draws and sample collection. 4. Ability to provide informed consent, with no severe comorbid conditions that would preclude study procedures (e.g. unable to provide stool sample or undergo blood draws). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior systemic therapy for metastatic PDAC. 2. Current use of long-term antibiotics or probiotics that could significantly alter the gut microbiome unless they are willing to pause these interventions (to avoid confounding in microbiome analysis). 3. Co-existing active malignancy that could confound metabolomic or immune readouts, unless it is a low-grade, early cancer in remission.
