Sponsor

University of Oklahoma

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Dec 7, 2022

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the proportion of pancreatic patients who experience weight loss and cachexia, and to identify any differences in the genes between patient groups.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria4

  • Male or female patient, who is ≥ 18 years old at the time of informed consent.
  • Patients with operable pancreatic tumors diagnosed in the last 12 months prior to consent with clinical discretion or pathology confirmed as adenocarcinoma.

  • Ability to provide written informed consent and HIPAA authorization.

Exclusion Criteria2

  • Patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who do not meet the criteria for surgical resection.
