Evaluation of a Mixed Meal Test for Diagnosis and Characterization and Type 3c Diabetes Mellitus Secondary to Pancreatic Cancer and Chronic Pancreatitis (DETECT)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The Coordinating and Data Management Center (CDMC) at MD Anderson Cancer will be responsible for the coordination and data management for the Evaluation of a mixed meal test for Diagnosis and characterization of Type 3c diabetes mellitus secondary to pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis (DETECT), which is part of the NIH U01 funded Consortium for the Study of Chronic Pancreatitis, Diabetes, and Pancreatic Cancer (CPDPC). Similar to all studies that will be coordinated and managed by the CDMC, no patient enrollment will occur at MDACC. All patient recruitment will occur at external sites that are a part of the CPDPC, which are listed in the appended DETECT protocol. The data management systems, auditing, and monitoring effort are supported by the CDMC.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Participants currently receiving oral steroid medications.
- Hospitalization for acute pancreatitis within 2 months before study visit. \[Criterion is not applicable for PDAC Participants undergoing fasting only blood collection\]
- Previous pancreatic surgery (including total pancreatectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, pancreaticojejunostomy, enucleation, or Frey procedure). \[Criterion is not applicable for CP Participants with diabetes who have a history of pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreaticojejunostomy, distal pancreatectomy, or Frey\].
- Previous treatment for pancreatic cancer, including chemotherapy or radiation.
- Previous vagotomy or gastric surgery, including endoscopic gastric reduction procedures. \[Criterion is not applicable for PDAC Participants undergoing fasting only blood collection\].
- Previous diagnosis of gastroparesis. \[Criterion is not applicable for PDAC Participants undergoing fasting only blood collection\].
Other illness
- Participants must not have any significant medical illnesses (including diabetes) that in the investigator's opinion cannot be adequately controlled with appropriate therapy or would compromise the Participant's ability to tolerate study interventions.
- Diabetes not stable enough to permit holding of diabetes medications in Participants undergoing mixed meal tolerance testing.
- Participants in the non-pancreatic disease subgroup on longer acting agents, including thiazolidinediones and once-weekly GLP-1 agonists (Bydureon \[exenatide\], Ozempic \[semaglutide\], Trulicity \[dulaglutide\]). \[Criterion is not applicable for Participants in the CP and PDAC groups\].
- The presence of a symptomatic cyst in Participants with CP. \[Criterion is not applicable for PDAC Participants undergoing fasting only blood collection; this includes cancer arising from a mucinous cystic lesion\].
- Any Participant with a known pancreatic cancer histologic subtype other than adenocarcinoma (e.g., Participants with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are excluded).
- Participants on treatment for any cancer (except non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in-situ of the cervix).
- Allergy or intolerance to ingredients in Boost drink in Participants undergoing mixed meal testing (see Appendix 13.9) \[Criterion is not applicable for PDAC Participants undergoing fasting only blood collection\].
Other
- Participants taking higher doses of insulin (≥0.75 unit/kg/day). \[Criterion is not applicable for PDAC Participants undergoing fasting only blood collection\]
