Implementing ctDNA and Circular DNA in Patients With Localized Pancreatic Cancer

Implementing Non-invasive Circulating Tumor DNA and Circular DNA Analysis in Patients With Localized Pancreatic Cancer to Optimize the Pre- and Postoperative Treatment: Predicting Recurrence and Survival and Changing Prognosis Over Time

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Mar 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if plasma ctDNA and eccDNA before resection for suspicion of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can predict early recurrence and overall survival, and to investigate if plasma ctDNA combined with CT scan and endoscopic ultrasound surveillance increases the median overall survival compared with standard-of-care surveillance.
