The latter group is defined as all individuals undergoing endoscopic ultrasound or ERCP for a non-pancreatic indication (e.g. choledocholithiasis), individuals with a personal history with pancreatic disease (including pancreatic cysts, pancreatitis or any other pancreas-related disease, post-surgery) or autoimmune disease will not be included in this group. In addition, patients with a history of malignancy could only be included if they have been treated curatively >5 years ago.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main study parameter: CtDNA levels in pancreatic juice and blood in relation to (progression-free) survival. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters (in patients undergoing EUS or ERCP for (suspected) PC) - CtDNA levels in pancreatic juice and blood. - CINdex in pancreatic juice and blood. - The cellular composition of pancreatic juice: number of cancer cells, clonality of the cancer cells, intracellular (single-cell) mutations (e.g. KRAS, CDKN2A, SMAD-4, TP53), the capability to grow organoids. - Molecular composition of pancreatic juice and blood: levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory molecules, levels and function of inhibitory and activating immune cells, levels of molecules related to fibrosis. - (Progression free) survival (assessed after 12 and 18 months) based on morphology on MRI and EUS. - Tumour size. - Presence of metastases. | — |
