Validation of a miRNA Panel to Optimize Treatment Response in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer (mirPANC 2)

Validation of a miRNA Panel to Optimize Treatment Response in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer


Sponsor

Enrollment

60 participants

Start Date

Jan 21, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study is being conducted to better understand how pancreatic cancer behaves during treatment and how we can improve methods for monitoring disease progression. The research aims to determine whether small molecules present in the blood, called miRNAs, can help doctors assess whether the treatment is working or needs adjustment. With this, we hope to make cancer monitoring less invasive and more precise, allowing patients to receive more personalized and effective treatments.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is collecting blood samples from patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer to see whether tiny molecules in the blood called microRNAs (miRNAs) can predict how well someone will respond to a specific chemotherapy regimen called FOLFIRINOX. The goal is to develop a blood test that guides treatment decisions. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer (cancer that has spread beyond the pancreas) - You are about to start chemotherapy with the FOLFIRINOX regimen - You are 18 years old or older - You are willing to provide informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have previously received any chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer (including before or after surgery, or any prior first-line treatment) - Your health does not allow you to safely receive FOLFIRINOX (e.g., very high bilirubin levels, poor performance status, or advanced age making treatment too risky) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
