30,000 volunteers sought to catch pancreatic cancer early
NCT ID NCT06271291
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study aims to find pancreatic cancer earlier in people who are at higher-than-average risk due to family history or genetic mutations. Researchers will collect blood samples and health data from 30,000 participants over time to build a biobank. The goal is to improve early detection, when treatment may be more effective.
