Brief summary public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

We are going to establish "organoid" models from pancreatic cancer biopsies achieved via EUS-FNA. Then the sensitivity of the selected FDA-approved anti-cancer drugs will be tested in these organoids.

Detailed description public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

The survival rate of pancreatic cancer, a kind of malignant tumor, remains poor due to lack of effective treatments. Recently, a new model called "organoid" has been generated from human and murine pancreatic cancer tissues. These organoids are developed from large pieces of surgical tissues or small biopsies taken from EUS-FNA guided samples. Here in our study we are going to establish "organoid" models from pancreatic cancer biopsies achieved via EUS-FNA. After successful generation of these organoids, we will treat them with the selected FDA-approved anti-cancer drugs, and assess the responses to these anti-cancer agents in our established organoids.

Intervention public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

Procedure: Biopsy. Two extra EUS-FNA guided pancreatic biopsies collected for only research purposes.

Primary outcome public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

Number of organoids successfully generated from pancreatic cancer biopsies. Successful isolation of pancreatic cancer organoids within 2 weeks of EUS-FNA operation will be defined as successful establishment of an organoid. We will calculate the total number of organoids generated in our center. Time frame: 09/01/2018-06/01/2019.

Secondary outcome public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

Response of the pancreatic cancer organoids to the selected anti-cancer drugs. Time frame: 06/01/2019-06/01/2020.

Eligibility public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

Inclusion Criteria: * 1\) Patients suspected to have pancreatic cancer who will receive EUS-FNA for diagnosis; 2) Patients who have signed the informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\) Those who are under the age of 18; 2) Patients who have received adjuvant chemoradiotherapies or other anti-tumor therapies; 3) Patients with critical illness and cannot tolerate the operations; 4) Women who have been pregnant or are planning to be pregnant.

Enrollment public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

Enrollment: 50 participants (estimated).
