About this trial

The main goal of this study is to explore the relationship between new-onset diabetes mellitus/deteriorating diabetes and a subsequent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP) will be utilized to screen for early stage pancreatic cancer or precursor lesions. Participants will be asked to donate a blood sample at specific intervals for the creation of a bio-bank necessary for the development of a blood based screening test for pancreatic cancer.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age of at least 50 years.

DM of Confirmed Duration: DM diagnosed within the past 12 months AND documentation of prior normal FPG, OGTT or HbA1c levels within the past 2 years. Requirement for HbA1c ≥ 6.5% OR

DM of Unconfirmed Duration: DM diagnosed within the past 12 months BUT no prior record of normal FPG, HbA1c or OGTT within the past 2 years. Requirement for HbA1c ≥ 7.0% OR

Transition from pre-Diabetes to Diabetes Mellitus within the past 12 months characterized by a change in the HbA1c of ≥ 0.5% OR

Disqualifiers

Prior history of pancreatic cancer.

Presence of metastatic cancer or cancer requiring adjuvant chemotherapy within the past 5 years.

Received chemotherapy within the past 6 months. (Hormonal therapy is allowable if the disease free interval is at least 5 years).

Hereditary pancreatitis.

Trial population

50+ years of age. New-onset diabetes mellitus (diagnosed with within the preceding 12 months) or Deteriorating diabetes mellitus (spike in HbA1c within past 6 months without weight gain and medication non-compliance)

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Early Stage Pancreatic Cancer or Precursor Lesions

Determine incidence of pancreatic cancer or precursor lesions in individuals with new-onset diabetes mellitus or deteriorating diabetes
