About this trial

EUS-FNB samples will be used for organoid cultures, which will be co-cultured with cancer associated fibroblasts derived from the surrounding stroma of the lesion. The organoid cultures will be used for pharmacotyping using relevant chemotherapeutic agents used in the clinic, and the organoid's response compared with the patient's response.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Measurement of organoid's response to therapy

Response of patient derived organoids to standard chemotherapeutic agents used for treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer

Time frame
Organoid co-cultures will be established and pharmacotyped in a timeframe of 2-4 weeks.
2

Validation of patient's response to therapy

Computed tomography (CT) scan of the thorax and abdomen are performed at baseline (within 28 days prior to first study drug administration) to assess efficacy of the drugs in patients.

Time frame
3 months follow up
3

Comparison between organoid's and patient's response

The response measured in the pharmacoscreen of organoids will be compared with the patient's response

Time frame
4 months
