Simple urine test could spot pancreatic cancer early
NCT ID NCT07587866
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study will test a new urine test called Panuri to see how well it can detect pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most common type of pancreatic cancer. About 1100 adults with symptoms that might suggest pancreatic cancer will provide urine samples for analysis. The goal is to see if this simple, non-invasive test can accurately identify cancer, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Panuri test (urine-based diagnostic assay)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simple, non-invasive urine test to help detect pancreatic cancer earlier in people with symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage diagnostic study, not a treatment trial. The test may not be accurate enough to replace current methods, and results may not apply to all populations.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Arm 1 (Target Arm): * Adults 18 years and older * Presenting with symptoms supporting a clinical suspicion for pancreatic cancer by the healthcare provider, including but not limited to jaundice, abdominal or back pain, fatty stools, unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, chronic fatigue, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, itching, dark urine, fever, and swelling of the legs. * Arm 2 (Enriched Arm): * Adults 18 years and older * Scheduled for a procedure involving pancreatic histopathological assessment due to suspicion of pancreatic cancer. Exclusion Criteria: * For subjects in the enriched arm, imaging results are highly suspicious for non-PDAC pancreatic cancer. * Patients enrolled in a pancreatic cancer screening program. * Prior diagnosis of pancreas malignancy, including pathological diagnoses and suspicion of pancreatic cancer based on clinical, histopathological or radiological results. Exceptions include: pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN), intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN), mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreas (MCN), serous cystadenomas (SCN) or other benign pancreatic lesions and cystic lesions without features suggestive of malignancy. * History of pancreatic resection * Presenting with concurrent symptoms or suspicion of urinary tract infection Diagnosis of any urinary tract infection within the last 30 days, except for cases that have been resolved with antibiotics discontinued at least 14 days prior to enrollment * Diagnosed with stage 3b to 5 chronic kidney diseases (CDK3b-CDK5), acute kidney disease in last 3 months, nephrotic syndrome in the last 6 months, or other kidney diseases associated with proteinuria * Diagnosed with any conditions that increase bilirubin levels within the last 6 months * Self-reported or documented elevated blood bilirubin levels within the past 3 months, defined as exceeding 1.5 times the upper limit of normal specific to the test laboratory * Diagnosis of any cancer within the past 5 years * Chemotherapy or anti-neoplastic therapy within the last 5 years * Any medical or psychological conditions that preclude compliance with study procedures. * Patients without any clinical signs or symptoms of pancreatic cancer * Inability to provide written informed consent. * Pregnant or breastfeeding women * Current participation in another drug or device study or planned participation prior to completion of sample collection procedures (i.e., approximately 1.5 months)
