Pancreatic Cancer Screening Through the Detection of Elastase-1 Combined With Other Examinations

October 16, 2024 updated by: Qilu Hospital of Shandong University

Pancreatic Cancer Screening Through the Detection of Elastase-1 Combined With Other Examinations: A Multicenter, Prospective, Diagnostic Clinical Cohort Study.

This is a prospective cohort study. The investigators enroll subjects with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), individuals at high risk for PDAC, patients with other pancreatic diseases, patients with CA19-9 elevation and controls without pancreatic disease. This study aims to establish a diagnostic prediction model by using elastase 1, common clinical serological examinations, and imaging examinations including endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), and to explore the diagnostic ability of the model in the high-risk population of PDAC. Besides, the investigators search for new biomarkers by multi-omics studies of serum and pancreatic tissues to further improve the diagnostic performance of this model. In conclusion, this study seeks a robust diagnostic prediction model to diagnose PDAC, especially early resectable PDAC.

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

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.

  1. Patients with pancreatic cancer with recognized diagnostic criteria or conclusions.
  2. Patients who are the high-risk group of pancreatic cancer.
  3. Patients with solid pseudo papilloma and neuroendocrine tumors of pancreas with recognized diagnostic criteria or conclusions.
  4. Patients with other diseases with abnormally elevated CA19-9.

(1) Patients without pancreatic disease assessed by laboratory tests and imaging examinations have no CA19-9 elevation.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients who are younger than 18 years of age.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Patients with PDAC
Diagnostic test: Pancreatic elastase-1 in blood serum
Serum samples were collected from each patient to detect serum multiomics and pancreatic elastase-1 (PE-1). We examine multiomics in the pancreatic tissue collected from the patient who had undergone surgery or the necessary puncture examination and signed the informed consent form.
Other Names:
  • Multiomics in blood serum or tissue
