Using Tumour DNA and Proteins to Better Understand How Pancreatic Cancer Responds to Treatment (NCT06574620)

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

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿฉบ Clinical Procedure Protocol Sponsor: British Columbia Cancer Agency

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

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.
