Genetic score may spot pancreatic cancer risk early
NCT ID NCT07516392
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a polygenic risk score—a measure based on many small genetic variations—can help predict who might develop pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Researchers will compare the genetic profiles of about 1,140 people with and without the disease. The goal is to improve risk prediction and support earlier detection of this aggressive cancer.

Not a phased trial
Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

About 1,140 people
The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.
- Expected to start

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 years and older. * Able and willing to provide informed consent. * For cases: participants with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. * For controls: participants without pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. * Availability of the clinical and/or biological data required for the study, including data necessary for polygenic risk score evaluation. Exclusion Criteria: * Age younger than 18 years. * Inability to provide informed consent. * Incomplete or unavailable clinical and/or biological data required for the study. * Any condition that, in the judgment of the investigators, makes the participant unsuitable for inclusion
