Personalized medicine hope: genetic screening for pancreatic cancer
NCT ID NCT05380414
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the genes of 750 people with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. The goal is to find specific genetic changes that could help doctors choose better treatments, like targeted drugs or chemotherapy combinations. Participants must have a tumor sample available and have had no more than one prior chemotherapy.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female patient \> 18 years * metastatic or advanced PDAC * Patient pretreated with no more than one prior systemic chemotherapy for metastatic/advanced disease (radiotherapy is not counted as a line of therapy). * Availability of an archival representative FFPE tumor sample from primary tumor (surgery or diagnostic biopsy) and/or from metastatic lesion if metastatic disease at initial diagnosis with associated pathology report from an archival tumor block. * Life expectancy \> 3 months * PS score 0 or 1. Exclusion Criteria: * Curative therapy available * Any condition contraindicated with blood sampling procedures required by the protocol. * Known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions include adequately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ cervical cancer. * Any psychological, familial, geographic or social situation, according to the judgment of investigator, potentially preventing the provision of informed consent or compliance to study procedure.
