Study Overview

Precision-Panc Master Protocol: Personalising Treatment for Pancreatic Cancer

The Precision-Panc Master Protocol is a "portal" protocol for patients with known or suspected pancreatic cancer to be accrued through multiple centres in the UK, with the option of being subsequently enrolled into PRIMUS (Pancreatic canceR Individualised Multi-arm Umbrella Studies) examining different treatment regimens and/or biomarker development. Eligible patients will undergo tumour biopsy and blood collection prospectively for molecular profiling at a central laboratory and the results may be used to inform enrolment to PRIMUS studies.

Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

Design Details

Primary Purpose:
Screening


Allocation:
Na


Interventional Model:
Single Group


Masking:
None


Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
OTHER: Biopsy Material Required for Registration

The Precision-Panc Master Protocol aims to recruit, consent and screen patients with pancreatic cancer

OTHER: Patients with suspected or confirmed pancreatic cancer will be be asked to provide biopsy material for molecular profiling

  • Patients with suspected or confirmed pancreatic cancer will be be asked to provide biopsy material for molecular profiling. This will enable patient enrolment into a currently available PRIMUS study
Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Proving that patients with pancreatic cancer can have their tissue molecularly assessed and be followed up in a clinical trial settingThe number of patients screened and registered to the master protocol will be recorded. The number of patients who we are able to molecular assess will be recorded and all patients will be followed up in the master protocol until death.At end of study (5 years)
Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Overall SurvivalTo assess the overall survival (OS) in patients enrolled in Precision-Panc and relate this to molecular profile information.From date of registration until date of death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years
Number of participants with biopsy related adverse events as assesed by CTCAE v4.03To assess the safety of obtaining tumour biopsies suitable for molecular profiling within a standard patient treatment pathway.At time of biopsy, usually within one week of screening

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.

Ages Eligible for Study:

Sexes Eligible for Study:
16 Years

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:

    Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult patients (age >16 years).
