Study Overview

Pilot Comparing ctDNA IDV vs. SPV Sample in Pts Undergoing Biopsies for Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Cancers

This is a prospective pilot protocol investigating whether ctDNA detection be improved by sampling the cancer draining vein versus the standard practice of sampling from a peripheral vein in patients who are undergoing biopsies for hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers.

This is a, prospective single center pilot study to investigate whether ctDNA detection can be improved by sampling the cancer draining vein vs. a peripheral vein (current practice). As a secondary endpoint, both ctDNA results will be compared with percutaneous biopsy (standard of care).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: ctDNA collection from draining and peripheral veins

Patient with suspected primary hepatobiliary or pancreatic cancer undergoing a diagnostic work-up with a percutaneous or trans-jugular biopsy (standard of care) and will undergo a sampling of the cancer draining vein during their biopsy procedure with a c

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST: ctDNA Blood Collection

  • Blood collection to be obtained from peripheral vein and cancer draining vein during biopsy
Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Comparison of the amount of ctDNA in draining vein plasma sample to peripheral vein sample through ratio of mean allele frequencyRatio of mean allele frequency (MAF)% of hepatic or portal draining vein, and MAF% of peripheral blood will be utilized to compare the samplesUp to 1 year
Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Number of unique alterations found in hepatic or portal vein plasma compared to number of alterations found in peripheral vein plasmactDNA results will be compared with percutaneous biopsy (standard of care)Up to 1 year
Number of unique alterations found in ctDNA compared to number of alterations derived next generation sequencing (NGS)ctDNA results will be compared with percutaneous biopsy (standard of care)Up to 1 year
