Summary

This is a prospective, multi-centre, translational and observational study. Two cohorts of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are eligible to enroll 1) Upfront resectable PDAC 2) Advanced (unresectable PDAC or metastatic). Patients will have tissue either at resection or from a biopsy at enrolment processed for whole genome sequencing, RNA sequencing and for establishment of patient derived organoids (PDOs). Background epidemiological history and outcome data will be prospectively annotated. Serial blood and stool samples will be collected for exploratory analyses. All electronic medical record information will also be collected. Data will be used to determine if an integrated correlative analysis of whole genome sequencing/RNAsequencing (WGS/RNAseq) and PDOs in the enrolled population will increase the number of patients receiving a precision-matched treatment in Ontario

Detailed description

This study is being done to answer the following question: Can creating 3D models using tumour samples and looking at genetic information from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumours, help us to provide more patients with a specific, personalized treatment? Two groups of patients with PDAC are eligible to enroll 1) PDAC patients that will go straight to surgery 2) PDAC patients where the disease is either too advanced for a surgical option, or the disease has spread to other areas in the body. Patients will have tumour tissue taken either during their surgery or from a biopsy at enrolment. Background history, outcome data, questionnaires, series of blood draws and stool samples will be collected for analyses. All electronic medical record information will also be collected. Researchers are looking for better ways of understanding and treating pancreatic cancer by looking to see how useful it is to know about changes and characteristics in the genes in the tumour (molecules that contain instructions for the development and functioning of the cells). Results from analyzed data may be useful in choosing treatments for enrolled patients and for patients in the future. Patients current treatment plan will not change if they choose to take part in this study.
