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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 pilot study is testing whether routine MRI scans can find early signs of pancreatic cancer in people who carry BRCA, ATM, or PALB2 gene mutations, which raise their risk. About 250 participants will undergo MRI, MRCP, endoscopic ultrasound, and provide blood, tissue, and saliva samples. The goal is to see how often these scans reveal abnormal findings and whether they can improve early detection and understanding of pancreatic cancer.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Screening procedures including MRI, MRCP, endoscopic ultrasound, and biospecimen collection
What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve early detection of pancreatic cancer in high-risk individuals, potentially leading to better treatment outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a pilot study, so results are preliminary. Screening may find abnormalities that are not cancer, leading to unnecessary procedures or anxiety.

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

Who is studied

Adults with germline BRCA, ATM or PALB2 mutation with or without a strong family history of pancreatic cancer. Eligible participants will be identified through UCSF's Hereditary Cancer Clinic or referred through UCSF's gastroenterology clinics.

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Inclusion Criteria: Ability to provide consent and willing, and able to comply with study procedures Ability to read and speak English GROUP I: * Documentation of pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline BRCA 1 and 2, ATM or PALB2 germline genetic mutation * No strong family history of pancreatic cancer (defined as having \>= 1 first-degree or second-degree relative with a history of pancreatic cancer) * Age \>= 50 years old at time of consent. GROUP II: * Documentation of pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline BRCA 1 and 2, ATM, or PALB2 germline genetic mutation * Has strong family history of pancreatic cancer (defined as having \>= 1 first-degree or second-degree relative with a history of pancreatic cancer) * Age \>= 18 years old at time of consent (screening generally begins 10 years prior to the earliest pancreatic cancer in the family) Exclusion Criteria: * Prior or active pancreatic cancer. * Pregnant women are excluded from this study because effects of an MRI on developing fetus is unknown.
