Monitoring and Managing Glucose Levels in People With Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic Cancer Glucose Assessment and Regulation Study


Sponsor

British Columbia Cancer Agency

Enrollment

50 participants

Start Date

Apr 16, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study will investigate the prevalence of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) in approximately 50 participants with pancreatic cancer. Sugar levels will be monitored with blood draws prior to each cycle of anti-cancer treatment until treatment ends or the participant's cancer worsens. Participants may receive any first-line systemic therapy for pancreatic cancer, including treatments given as part of another clinical trial. If treatment is needed to manage blood sugar levels, the treatment will be given according to the standard of care. All participants will be enrolled into the same group.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study monitors and manages blood sugar levels in people with pancreatic cancer receiving chemotherapy, since high blood sugar can affect treatment outcomes. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (the most common type of pancreatic cancer) - You are about to start first-line chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX - You are 18 or older - You are in good overall health (ECOG 0–1) with adequate blood counts and organ function **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are not starting FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy - You have poor blood counts or organ function that does not meet required thresholds Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
