Observational Study for Early Detection of Pancreas Cancer

This study is a bio-repository, meaning it collects biological samples, to help find pancreas cancer early. It's for people aged 18 and older who have a pancreatic cyst or are at high risk for pancreas cancer due to family history or genetic changes. Researchers will collect bio-specimens (like blood or cyst fluid) and observe participants over time. The main goal is to see if these samples can help detect pancreas cancer within 5 to 10 years. This is an observational study, so you won't receive any new treatments, but your participation could help others in the future.

Study design
This is an observational study planning to enroll 500 participants. It collects biological samples from two groups of people at high risk for pancreatic cancer.
What's involved
You would provide bio-specimens, such as blood or pancreatic cyst fluid, following a standard procedure.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Pancreas cancer will be measured at 5-10 years after enrollment.
