Liquid Biopsy (ctDNA) Guided Treatment in Localized Pancreatic Cancer: Neoadjuvant CTX vs. Upfront Surgery
Liquid Biopsy Guided Treatment in Localized Pancreatic Cancer (LIQUIPANC): Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) as Precision Medicine Tool for Stratification of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy vs. Upfront Surgery
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Nov 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study evaluates the clinical prognostic impact (on DFS and OS) of liquid biopsy guided treatment vs. standard of care (physicians choice) in localized pancreatic cancer (CA 19-9 levels \<500, no vessel contact and recommended by multidisciplinary tumor board). ctDNA positive patients are randomized to either receive neoadjvuant chemotherapy at current gold standard physicians choice vs. upfront surgery because of assumed high biological risk for early recurrence of ctDNA+. ctDNA- will receive upfront surgery in adherence to local guidelines.
