A Prospective Study to Establish a New Onset Hyperglycemia and Diabetes (NOD) Cohort

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to prospectively assemble a cohort of subjects >50 and ≤85 years of age with New-onset Diabetes (NOD):

  • Estimate the probability of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in the NOD Cohort;
  • Establish a biobank of clinically annotated biospecimens including a reference set of biospecimens from pre-symptomatic PDAC and control new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) subjects;
  • Facilitate validation of emerging tests for identifying NOD subjects at high risk for having PDAC using the reference set; and
  • Provide a platform for development of an interventional protocol for early detection of sporadic PDAC NOD subjects.

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.
