Pancreatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PanIN) and the Association With Recurrence of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

June 9, 2021 updated by: Columbia University

Refining the Molecular Progression From Intraductal to Invasive Pancreatic Cancer: Correlating Genetic Profiles and Clinicopathological Phenotypes in Sporadic and Familial Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

The research purpose of this project is to create a registry, and blood and tissue bank for individuals at high-risk for pancreatic cancer. We plan to conduct histopathological and molecular analysis of resected pancreatic tissue prospectively collected from a cohort of pancreatic cancer patients.

Detailed Description

Pancreatic cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. In order to improve outcomes of this disease, significant research efforts have focused on understanding the changes that occur in the pancreas prior to tumor occurrence. The types of changes most often associated with tumor have been named pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN). It is not yet clear how to identify the PanIN lesions most likely to develop into cancer and the length of time required for this progression. In order to evaluate these questions, we are interested in examining the microscopic and genetic characteristics of PanIN lesions in two "high-risk" patients: 1) patients who underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer and developed tumor recurrence after surgery and 2) patients with a strong family history of pancreatic cancer or with a genetic syndrome that puts them at risk for pancreas cancer. The surgical specimens from these patients will be evaluated by a pathologist for evidence of widespread PanIN lesions. In addition, PanIN lesions will be tested for abnormalities in several major genes that are known to be important in pancreatic cancer.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 85 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients who are identified by a clinician as having either 1) a strong family history of pancreatic cancer; or 2) evidence (radiological or pathological) of local tumor recurrence following surgical resection, will be included in the study.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Tissue-confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
  • Underwent surgical resection for adenocarcinoma at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center with pathologically negative surgical margins.
  • Enrolled in our Pancreatic Cancer Registry and Tissue Bank protocol (AAAA-6154).
  • Have at least 2 relatives (of whom one must be first-degree relative) with pancreatic cancer, or have been diagnosed with a a genetic syndrome which is associated with pancreatic cancer (among the included syndromes include BRCA1/2, FAMMM, Peutz-Jeghers, HNPCC, Hereditary Pancreatitis) -OR- Have radiological or pathological (fine needle aspirate or surgical biopsy) evidence of local tumor recurrence following surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Metastatic disease discovered at presentation or on recurrence (exception is the familial PDC patients)
  • Positive surgical margins.
  • Lack of clinical followup at one year following surgery

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Family History patients
Patients with a strong family history of pancreatic cancer or with a genetic syndrome that puts them at risk for pancreas cancer.
Recurrence patients
Patients who underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer and developed tumor recurrence after surgery

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of subjects with histological features of PanIN lesions assessed
Time Frame: 1 year
Distinctive histological features of PanIN within surgical specimens of our two study groups will be assessed by pathologists.
1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluation of clonality multifocal PanIN lesions
Time Frame: 1 year
Using microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) to evaluate the samples.
1 year
Evaluation of Recurrence Mechanism in PDC
Time Frame: 1 year
aCGH will also be utilized to evaluate recurrence mechanism in a set of cases in which both original tumor and recurrence tumor was resected, allowing for clonal origins to be evaluated.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (ACTUAL)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
March 18, 2009

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
