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 volunteersQualifiers
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
Case-control
Prospective
Treatments tested in this trial
PANcreatic cancer Exosome Early detectiON (PANXEON)
Diagnostic testThis 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
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Sensitivity
True positive rate: the probability of a positive test result, conditioned on the individual truly being positive
Secondary outcomes
Specificity
True negative rate: the probability of a negative test result, conditioned on the individual truly being negative
Accuracy
A measure of trueness: proportion of correct predictions (both true positives and true negatives) among the total number of cases examined
