Collecting and Storing Samples of Blood From Patients With Pancreatic Cancer and Healthy Participants

Completed

• Conditions: Pancreatic Cancer
• Interventions: Other: This is a non-intervention study for all groups.; Other: study of socioeconomic and demographic variables

• Registration Number: NCT00898482
• Lead Sponsor: Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of blood from patients with cancer and healthy participants to test in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future.

PURPOSE: This study is collecting and storing samples of blood from patients with pancreatic cancer and healthy participants.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Establish a central pancreatic cancer specimen (including serum and peripheral blood lymphocytes) repository to serve as a resource for current or future scientific studies.

* Utilize the clinical database to perform clinicopathologic correlation with the results of those studies.

* Test new hypotheses as they emerge.

OUTLINE: This is a prospective study.

Blood is collected from patients with pancreatic cancer at baseline and then every 3-6 months for up to 2 years. All other participants have blood collected at baseline and complete questionnaires at baseline and then every 3-6 months for up to 2 years. Serum and peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from the blood samples are frozen and stored.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 200 patients and 200 other participants will be accrued for this study.
