NCT ID NCT06122896

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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 see if adding simple blood tests and symptom reviews to standard screening can catch pancreatic cancer earlier in people with a high genetic risk. Researchers will enroll 5,000 participants who have certain gene mutations linked to pancreatic cancer. The goal is to improve early detection, when treatment may be more effective.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: Participants must meet any of the following: * Individuals with pathogenic/likely pathogenic germline variants in STK11, and age ≥30 years. * Individuals with pathogenic/likely pathogenic germline variants in CDKN2A, and age ≥40 years (or 10 years younger than the earliest exocrine pancreatic cancer diagnosis in the family, whichever is earlier). * Individuals with pathogenic/likely pathogenic germline variants in one of the other pancreatic cancer susceptibility genes (ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, EPCAM, PALB2, TP53), and age ≥50 years (or 10 years younger than the earliest exocrine pancreatic cancer diagnosis in the family, whichever is earlier) AND • Exocrine pancreatic cancer in ≥1 first- or second-degree relative from the same side of (or presumed to be from the same side of) the family as the identified pathogenic/likely pathogenic germline variant. * Individuals with pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in PRSS1 AND a clinical phenotype consistent with hereditary pancreatitis, and age ≥40 years (or 20 years after onset of pancreatitis, whichever is earlier). * Individuals with familial pancreatic cancer including: * Family history of exocrine pancreatic cancer in ≥2 first-degree relatives from the same side of the family, even in the absence of a known pathogenic/likely pathogenic germline variant, OR * Family history of exocrine pancreatic cancer in 1 affected first-degree relative and 1 second-degree relative, even in the absence of a known pathogenic/likely pathogenic germline variant, OR * Family history of exocrine pancreatic cancer in ≥3 first- and/or second-degree relatives from the same side of the family, even in the absence of a known pathogenic/likely pathogenic germline variant. * Individuals who are undergoing clinically recommended pancreatic cancer surveillance. Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals with active or prior pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma diagnosis. * Individuals with any active metastatic cancer. * Individuals who are unable to give informed consent. * Individuals who are under the age of 18 (infants, children, teenagers). * Individuals unable to tolerate Magnetic Resonance Imaging/Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography and Endoscopic Ultrasound. * Pregnant women are unlikely to be undergoing screening procedures and will not be considered eligible but can consent to the study at a later date.
