OBSERVATIONAL
Ghrelin Levels in Pancreatic Cancer Patients
The primary outcome measure for this study is plasma ghrelin level.
The primary outcome measure for this study is plasma ghrelin level, and the two primary comparison are: * Patients with cachexia versus patients without cachexia * Patients with cachexia versus healthy controls
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.
