About this trial

This study aims to prospective validate an exosome-based miRNA signature for noninvasive and early detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Histological diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, stages I-IV (TNM classification, 8th edition)

Received standard diagnostic and staging procedures as per local guidelines, and at least one sample was drawn before receiving any curative-intent treatment.

Imaging- or endoscopy-based proof of lack of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma at the time of sampling (Non-disease controls)

Disqualifiers

Lack of written informed consent.

Trial population

Independent cohorts of individuals with and without pancreatic cancer (cases and controls, respectively)

Trial design

Design model

Case-control

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • PANcreatic cancer Exosome Early detectiON (PANXEON)

    Diagnostic test

    This test will utilize quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to quantify the expression levels of 5 cell-free and 8 exosome-miRNAs in plasma samples obtained from patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and from individuals without it

Treatment groups

2,000 Participants
are divided into 4 treatment groups
Group A: Patients with Pancreatic Cancer Ductal Adenocarcinoma (Training)1 intervention
Group B: Individuals without Pancreatic Cancer Ductal Adenocarcinoma (Training)1 intervention
Group C: Patients with Pancreatic Cancer Ductal Adenocarcinoma (Validation)1 intervention
Group D: Individuals without Pancreatic Cancer Ductal Adenocarcinoma (Validation)1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Sensitivity

True positive rate: the probability of a positive test result, conditioned on the individual truly being positive

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes

1

Specificity

True negative rate: the probability of a negative test result, conditioned on the individual truly being negative

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 1 year
2

Accuracy

A measure of trueness: proportion of correct predictions (both true positives and true negatives) among the total number of cases examined

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 1 year
