Study summary

This study includes participants with pancreatic cancer who are undergoing genetic testing at Invitae related to their diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Our goal in this study is two-fold. First, we would like to research whether any inherited changes in genes may be associated with pancreatic cancer. Second, we would like to learn more about patient experiences with genetic testing, such as patient understanding of the testing, health-related actions taken (or planned to take) as a result of testing, communication and action of family members based on test results, and psychological impact of testing.

This research study involves allowing collection of tumor tissue (from a prior biopsy and/or surgery), a blood sample, and sending surveys to participants for their opinion on the impact of the genetic testing as well as clinicians for relevant baseline and medical history information.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be contacted for patient outcomes survey completion at months: 1, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, and 60. Patients will also be contacted for survival collection every 6 months during years 3-5 post germline testing.

Clinicians will be contacted for relevant medical history, treatment, and survival data at the same time points.

At baseline, 3 samples types will be collected: 1. EDTA tube for germline genetic testing. 2. Streck tubes for whole genome sequencing and other analyses. 3. Tumor block from surgical resection. If block is unavailable 10 unstained slides are an acceptable substitute.

Groups and cohorts

  • Germline Pathogenic Variant in non-BRCA/PALB2 Gene

    Patients will receive germline testing and provide streck tube blood samples and archival tissue sample at baseline. After germline testing results have been generated and released, patients and clinicians will be contacted for survey completion at months: 1, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 and survival collection every 6 months during years 3-10 post germline testing.

    Diagnostic Test: Germline genetic testing

  • Strong family history of pancreatic cancer but no identifiable germline pathogenic variant

    Patients will receive germline testing and provide streck tube blood samples and archival tissue sample at baseline. After germline testing results have been generated and released, patients and clinicians will be contacted for survey completion at months: 1, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 and survival collection every 6 months during years 3-10 post germline testing.

    Diagnostic Test: Germline genetic testing

  • Negative germline testing and absence of strong family history

    Patients will receive germline testing and provide streck tube blood samples and archival tissue sample at baseline. After germline testing results have been generated and released, patients and clinicians will be contacted for survey completion at months: 1, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 and survival collection every 6 months during years 3-10 post germline testing.

    Diagnostic Test: Germline genetic testing

  • Pathogenic Variant in BRCA1/2 or PALB2

    Patients will be offered enrollment into the sister trial, APOLLO (NCT04858334). Patients and clinicians will be contacted for survey completion at months: 1, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 and survival collection every 6 months during years 3-5.

    Diagnostic Test: Germline genetic testing
