Evaluating FDG PET-MRI-based Biomarkers in Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

Overview

About this study

Aims, purpose, or objectives:

Evaluation of quantitative biomarkers derived from simultaneous time-of-flight FDG PET-MRI/MRCP for assessment of response to neoadjuvant therapy in borderline resectable PDAC.
Evaluate the comparative performance of blood and FDG PET-MRI/MRCP based biomarkers for assessment of response to neoadjuvant therapy in borderline resectable PDAC.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Subject population (children, adults, groups): Subjects, age greater than 18, with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer undergoing clinically scheduled FDG PET-MRI/MRCP examinations.

Inclusion Criteria:

Treatment-naïve patients with tumor anatomy consistent with borderline resectable PDAC on comprehensive staging evaluation.
No known distant metastatic disease at initial staging.
Patients who are deemed candidates for neo-adjuvant therapy and are going to have clinically indicated FDG-PET-MRI examination, before and after the neo-adjuvant therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

Prior resection for PDAC
History of other malignancy less than or equal to 5 years previously.
Patients who are deemed not suitable for curative resection after neo-adjuvant therapy.
