Brief summary
Johns Hopkins clinical research office quality assurance group will monitor and audit this study at Johns Hopkins. The Sub Investigator at each site will be responsible for internal monitoring at their site.
Detailed description
The Sub Investigator at each site will be responsible for internal monitoring at their site. The site sub Investigator and study team will report any serious adverse events to Principal Investigator and annually report adverse events.
Interventions
inject Secretin to stimulate pancreatic digestive fluid, which is collected in duodenum near ampulla via endoscope suction port. This fluid will be assessed for biomarkers.
MRI abdomen with contrast (MRCP) will be clinically indicated for abnormal novel CA-19-9 lab results.
A tumor marker gene test that will be used to stratify individuals into one of several circulating tumor marker reference ranges for CA19-9. The variants in the genes FUT3 and FUT2 affect the levels of CA19-9.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate pancreatic juice for early cancer markers. | 10 years | Aim #1: To evaluate pancreatic fluid mutations and circulating pancreatic epithelial cells as accurate markers of neoplasia by comparing their prevalence in cases with sporadic pancreatic neoplasia to healthy and disease controls. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Compare pancreas juice with pancreas cyst fluid | 10 years | Aim #2: To compare the prevalence of pancreatic fluid mutations and circulating pancreatic epithelial cells among a prospective cohort of individuals with sporadic pancreatic cysts undergoing pancreatic surveillance. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Time disease progression and prevalence | 10 years | Aim #3: To determine the prevalence of pancreatic lesions, pancreatic fluid mutations and circulating pancreatic epithelial cells among a large cohort of high-risk individuals undergoing pancreatic screening and surveillance of a new cohort in which screening is begun at age \>55. |
| Diagnostic performance of a tumor marker gene test for CA19-9 interpretation | 5 years | Aim #4 To evaluate the diagnostic performance of a tumor marker gene test to personalize the normal reference range of tumor markers such as CA19-9 for patients undergoing pancreatic surveillance. |
