Overview

This is a prospective case-control study, aiming at developing a cell free DNA (cfDNA) multi-omics precise diagnostic model for screening of pancreatic cancer.

Description

Peripheral blood samples from participants with new diagnosis of pancreatic cancers, precancerous lesions and healthy individuals will be collected to characterize the cancer-specific signatures by low-pass whole-genome sequencing and target methylation sequencing using cfDNA. An ensemble multi-omics model will be trained aided by machine learning algorithm and validated in test set. The performance of this multi-omics model distinguishing pancreatic cancer from non-cancer will be evaluated.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
