Study Overview

Pilot Study of Pancreatic Cancer Screening

This study investigates how often abnormal findings from routine magnetic resonance imaging occur in people with genetic mutations in BReast CAncer gene. (BRCA), ataxia telangiectasia mutated gene (ATM), or PALB2 screened for pancreatic cancer. This study may lead to a greater understanding of cancer and potentially, improvements in cancer screening and treatment.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the event rate of abnormal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) findings in screened study participants. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the rates of high-grade pancreatic neoplasia precursors (intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN)-high-grade dysplasia (HGD)) and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia-3 [PanIN-3]) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) among all study participants. II. To understand rates of procedures (biopsies and surgeries) among all study participants. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To create a biorepository of all participants through the collection of saliva, blood, and tissue, combined with imaging findings and robust clinical annotation of patient health behaviors in all study participants. II. To explore knowledge, attitudes, and anxiety related to pancreatic cancer screening at annual intervals in all study participants. OUTLINE: Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 groups. GROUP I: GROUP I: Participants may opt to undergo MRI/magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) or alternating MRI/MRCP and EUS annually for 10 years or complete questionnaires over 10 minutes and undergo blood, saliva and tissue sample collection. GROUP II: Participants may undergo MRI/MRCP or alternating MRI/MRCP and EUS annually for 10 years.

Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Proportion of participants with of abnormal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findingsProportion of participants with an abnormal MRI finding will be reported as an event. An estimated event rate of 19% in participants with a strong family history (FH) of pancreatic cancer and 10% in those participants without a strong FH of pancreatic cancer and 95% binomial confidence intervals (CIs) will also be reported.Up to 10 years
Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Overall Cancer Detection RateWill estimate and infer 95% binomial confidence intervals (CI) and the overall cancer detection rate for all participants on study.Up to 10 years
Rates of high-grade neoplastic precursorsWill estimate and infer 95% binomial CI and the overall rate of high-grade pancreatic neoplasia precursors (IPMN-HGD and PanIN-3) for all participants on study.Up to 10 years
Rates of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)Will estimate and infer 95% binomial CI and the overall rate of PDAC for all participants on study.Up to 10 years
Proportion of participants who have additional medical proceduresThe proportion of participants who have obtained a biopsy or underwent a surgical procedure related to a possible diagnosis of cancer will be reported.Up to 10 years

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:
ALL

Sexes Eligible for Study:
18 Years

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
1

    Inclusion Criteria:
    Ability to provide consent and willing, and able to comply with study procedures Ability to read and speak English
    GROUP I:

  • Documentation of pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline BRCA 1 and 2, ATM or PALB2 germline genetic mutation
  • No strong family history of pancreatic cancer (defined as having >= 1 first-degree or second-degree relative with a history of pancreatic cancer)
  • Age >= 50 years old at time of consent.

  • GROUP II:

  • Documentation of pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline BRCA 1 and 2, ATM, or PALB2 germline genetic mutation
