Using Tumour DNA and Proteins to Better Understand How Pancreatic Cancer Responds to Treatment

Accelerating the Actionability of Treatment in Resected and Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer


Sponsor

British Columbia Cancer Agency

Enrollment

200 participants

Start Date

Nov 28, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this study is to learn if the genetic information and proteins from tumours can help treat pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is it feasible to obtain genetic test results within a timeframe that can help inform treatment decisions for individuals with PDAC? * Can the genetic test results provide information about how a tumour will respond to or resist treatment? Participants will: * Receive standard chemotherapy to treat their cancer. * Provide samples of their blood, tissue, and fluid for genetic testing. * Visit the clinic every 4 weeks for check-ups and tests. * Complete questionnaires every 12 weeks.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study collects tumor DNA and proteins from people with pancreatic cancer (specifically pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, or PDAC) to better understand how their cancer responds or becomes resistant to treatment. Samples are collected during a standard laparoscopic procedure. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have been diagnosed with resectable, borderline resectable, or locally advanced pancreatic cancer - You are medically fit and scheduled for a laparoscopic procedure as standard care - You are enrolled (or can be enrolled) in the Personalized Oncogenomics (POG) Program at BC Cancer (Canada) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are not fit for a laparoscopic procedure - You are unable to give informed consent - You are not able to participate in the POG program Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Analyses of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), proteins, and other molecules in the sample.

PROCEDUREOptional biopsy

Optional collection of tumour tissue and normal tissue after the last dose of treatment.
