Pancreatic Cancer Early Detection for People at High Risk

About the Study

The study will collect clinical information, family history, and samples (blood, saliva or cheek swab) from people and families at risk for pancreatic cancer. Collecting this information and samples will create a resource to drive research necessary for early detection and prevention of pancreatic ductal ().

What the Study Involves:

Study participation may include:

  • Providing a blood sample (about 4 tablespoons) at each clinic visit throughout the course of the study.
  • Providing a and RNA sample that will be extracted from blood, saliva, or cheek swab
  • Providing medical and family history information to be included in the study database
  • Providing permission to access your medical records, retrieve results from routine clinical care, such as genetic testing, imaging studies (eg MRI/MRCP, endoscopic , CT abdomen)
  • A baseline clinical visit and up to 2 visits per year, depending on the frequency of your clinical care pancreas cancer screening
  • Providing a blood sample and medical records at any event driven clinical follow up of abnormal findings with imaging and lab studies
  • If you are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, you will be asked to donate extra tissue at the time of clinical biopsies or surgeries

The study will enroll people from the following groups who present for clinical evaluation and assessment of risk at any of the participating sites can be offered participation in the PRECEDE study:

Group 1:

Individuals without personal diagnosis of meeting any of the following criteria:

  • 2 or more relatives with on same side of family where 2 affected are first degree related to each other and at least 1 affected is first degree related to subject; age: 50 or older or 10 or more years younger than earliest in family at time of diagnosis.
  • 2 affected first degree relatives with pancreatic cancer; age: 50 or older or 10 years younger than earliest pancreatic cancer  in family
  • in , , , , , , , , AND 1 first or second degree relative with PDAC; age 50+ or 10 years younger than earliest pancreatic cancer in family
  • Familial Atypical Moles and Malignant Melanoma (FAMMM) with in CDKN2A; age: 40 or older

Group 2

Group 4

  • Individuals without history of presenting for evaluation who do not meet any criteria for 1-3, 6, or the Cyst Cohort.

Group 5

  • Individuals without history of who are not otherwise engaged in pancreas surveillance at a participating site may be invited to participate in the PRECEDE database and to donate a biosample (e.g. blood, saliva, and/or buccal swab) for discovery studies. This may include relatives of individuals in Cohorts 1-4,6, and the Cyst Cohort.

Group 6

Individuals with a personal history of meeting any of the following criteria:

  • Family history includes at least one first degree relative with , or 2 relatives with who are first degree related to each other
  • Personal or family history of a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in , , , CDKN2A, , , , , ,PMS2, PRSS1,
  • Diagnosed ≤ age 45

Cyst Group

  • Individuals with a personal history of a pancreatic cystic neoplasm not meeting any criteria for Cohorts 1-3 or 6 (no known family history of , no known pathogenic variants linked to risk)

Please Note: The study does not cover the cost of screening and additional office visits needed to complete the requirement for the study.
