Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm III (Pancreatic cancer)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients who undergo chemotherapy prior to resection will have 2 DCE MRI scans; one study scan prior to undergoing neoadjuvant therapy, as well as one study scan following neoadjuvant therapy as part of their pre-operative work up in addition to the standard imaging studies. For patients that do not require chemotherapy treatment prior to resection they will have just one DCE MRI scan prior to surgical resection. Patients currently undergoing neoadjuvant therapy or who have already completed neoadjuvant therapy that were unable to undergo imaging at baseline and are now proceeding to resection will have one DCE MRI scan prior to surgical resection.
Group II: Arm II (IPMN)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients undergo DCE MRI (Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Ferumoxytol) prior to surgery for resection of IPMN.
Group III: Arm I (High-risk for familial/hereditary pancreatic cancer)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients undergo DCE MRI (Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Ferumoxytol) yearly for a minimum of 3 scans.
Group IV: Arm IV (Healthy volunteers)Active Control2 Interventions
Patients undergo a single DCE MRI (Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Ferumoxytol) examination.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does this research endeavor accept subjects that are 45 years and older?

"According to the eligibility requirements of this trial, any patient aged 18-85 is able to participate."

Answered by AI

What are the projected results of this research?

"The primary aim of this medical trial, with an expected duration of up to 5 years, is to determine the presence or lack thereof of pancreatic cancer in patients suffering from cystic lesions. Secondary objectives include evaluating disease-free survival through Kaplan-Meier analysis and overall survival along with surgical diagnostic measures using AJCC TNM staging system as potential confounders or modifiers for the model. The c-statistics will be reported on each model."

Answered by AI

Are there any prior experiments that have employed Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging?

"Currently, 15 clinical trials are researching the application of Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Of those, 4 have reached Phase 3. Moreover, 40 different sites across New York are running studies on this diagnostic imaging technology."

Answered by AI

What is the aggregate quantity of participants involved in this research project?

"Indeed, the clinical trial is actively enrolling participants as suggested by its listing on clinicaltrials.gov. This research project was initially posted January 31st 2014 and has been updated once since then, on August 16th 2022. They are looking for 70 individuals to join at one dedicated site of study."

Answered by AI

Am I eligible to participate in this experiment?

"This medical investigation is searching for 70 volunteers aged 18 to 85 who have been diagnosed with pancreatic carcinoma. Additionally, they must satisfy the following conditions: possess a high-risk genetic syndrome (e.g., BRCA 1&2, STK11, CDNK2A, PRSS1 and MSH 2&6), GROUPS 1, 2 AND 3 participants must qualify for surgical resection based on conventional imaging findings or symptoms; all volunteers are required to undertake a negative pregnancy test if applicable; consenting to join the Oregonms; all volunteers are required to undertake a negative pregnancy test if applicable; consenting to join the Oregon Pancreatic Tumor Registry (OPTR) is mandatory; those with strong"

Answered by AI

Is acceptance into this medical study still possible for interested participants?

"Yes, clinicaltrials.gov indicates that the trial is still recruiting applicants. It was initially posted in January 2014 and last edited in August 2022; with a goal of enlisting 70 patients from 1 site."
