Genomic Profiling of Pancreatic Cystic Tumors

December 23, 2023 updated by: JooKyung Park, Samsung Medical Center
This study aims to find out whether quantitative and qualitative analysis, including genetic mutation analysis, of samples obtained from patients with pancreatic cysts is associated with the risk of malignancy, and helpful in the differential diagnosis of mucinous and serous cysts. The study design is a single-arm prospective cohort observational study. Using blood, pancreatic cyst fluid, and pancreatic cyst tissue, genetic mutation analysis and measurement of various biomarkers are performed, and the relationship between these and malignancy or whether they are helpful in distinguishing mucinous and serous cysts is analyzed. The primary outcome is genetic variants of pancreatic cysts associated with malignancy. The secondary outcomes are factors including genetic variants that differentiate mucinous from serous cysts.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

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.

Detailed Description

Pancreatic cysts, especially mucinous cysts, are precancerous lesions that can cause pancreatic cancer, and follow-up surveillance is important. However, there is a lack of clear medical evidence for the proper method and timing of follow-up, so the current follow-up strategies rely heavily on the opinions of experts. Although mucinous pancreatic cyst is known as a precancerous lesion, the incidence of cancer is about 1-5%. Therefore, if the risk of malignant disease can be more accurately predicted in patients with pancreatic cysts, patients with a high risk of malignant disease can be more intensively monitored and improved survival rates can be expected through early detection of pancreatic cancer. In addition, unnecessary medical resource consumption can be reduced by increasing the follow-up interval of pancreatic cyst patients with low risk of malignancy or not following them at all. To this end, in addition to imaging characteristics of pancreatic cysts, which are currently suggested as risk factors for malignancy in most guidelines for pancreatic cysts, differential diagnosis of pancreatic cysts based on new biomarkers such as genetic mutations and malignant risk assessment are necessary. Therefore, in this study, the investigators comprehensively analyze the blood, pancreatic cyst fluid, and pancreatic cyst tissue of patients with pancreatic cysts to explore biomarkers including genetic mutations that are helpful in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic cyst and the diagnosis of malignant tumors.

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

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
Genetic variants of pancreatic cysts associated with malignancy assessed by next-generation sequencing
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 years
Genetic variants showing significant differences between pancreatic cysts with high-grade dysplasia or invasive cancer and the remaining pancreatic cysts, assessed through next-generation sequencing
Through study completion, an average of 3 years

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
Genetic variants that differentiate mucinous from serous cysts assessed by next-generation sequencing
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 years
Genetic variants indicating significant differences between mucinous and serous cysts, as evaluated through next-generation sequencing
Through study completion, an average of 3 years
