ctDNA Assay in Patients With Resectable Pancreatic Cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine the proportion of positive ctDNA -freely circulating tumor DNA fragments found in the blood plasma- in patients with pancreatic cancer and to better understand the relationship between possible ctDNA biomarkers and patient survival. A successful study may provide preliminary evidence that helps …
Pancreatic Cancer & Surgical Resection
Primary Objective(s) To collect clinical data related to the treatment outcomes of Pancreatic IRE in order to develop an evidence base such that physicians can provide the best possible care to patients with pancreatic cancer requiring surgical intervention. Secondary Objective(s) To collect data on adverse events and complications related to …
Collection of Circulating Biomarkers in Pancreatic Cancer
This protocol will involve collection of blood samples from patients with a diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma for evaluation of circulating biomarkers.
Genetic, Microenvironmental, and Immunological Factors in Unresectable Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) complexity, where genetic, stromal, and immunological factors all interact with each other, is responsible for the overall poor response of PDAC to chemotherapeutic agents, making this a lethal disease. The investigators hypothesize that: (i) dissection of genetic, stromal, and immunological factors on endoscopic ultrasound fine needle …
Evaluation of Endoscopic Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography (EUS-SWE) for the Diagnosis of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.
To assess the diagnostic accuracy of Shear Wave elastography (SWE) for the diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Pancreatic Cancer Genetics
The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of the three most common BReast CAncer gene 1 (BRCA1) and BReast CAncer gene 2 (BRCA2) genetic mutations that are commonly found in Ashkenazi Jewish patients with pancreatic cancer. Testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in relatives of hereditary pancreatic …
Endoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation of Celiac Ganglion for Pain Management and Improvement of Quality of Life in Patients With Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer
This study aims to evaluate the EUS-RFA in terms of efficacy for pain management and improvement in quality-of-life parameters for patients with advanced inoperable pancreatic cancer. The primary objectives of this study are to 1) evaluate the utility of EUS-RFA for pain control and improvement in quality-of-life parameters for patients …
Multicenter Study of Circulating Tumor DNA in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer Using a Personalized Panel
This is a multicenter, prospective, observational study to evaluate the utility of the Invitae Personalized Cancer MonitoringTM assay for patients with resectable and unresectable pancreatic cancer. Using tumor tissue, a personalized blood test (the Invitae Personalized Cancer MonitoringTM test) will be developed that can be used for repeated monitoring to …
Cell-Free DNA Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) for Diagnosing Cancer
The goal of this research is to use chromatin immunoprecipitation, a method used to study protein-DNA interaction, as a tool to diagnose and prognose pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in human samples. This is a Non-Human Subject Research study. All participants are de-identified.
Preliminary Evaluation of Screening for Pancreatic Cancer in Patients With Inherited Genetic Risk
The study is a prospective, observational study evaluating the utility of endoscopic ultrasound or MRI for the identification of preneoplastic and neoplastic pancreatic lesions in patients at high risk for pancreatic cancer, specifically those with BRCA1/2, ATM, or PALB2 mutations.
