Brief Title: Predictive Value of Analysing Tissue From Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer for Drug Sensitivity
Official Title: Predictive Value of In-vitro Anti-cancer Therapy Sensitivity Testing on Tumoroids From Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
Study ID: NCT03821870
Brief Summary: It will be investigated whether it is possible to predict the effect or lack of effect of first-line treatment by analysing cancer cells from the individual patient receiving standard first line treatment. Also, the feasibility of selecting second-line therapy based on pre-treatment biopsies will be investigated. Cells from pancreatic cancer will be grown in the laboratory to form small, circulating tumors and adjacent tissue, so called tumoroids. The tumoroids will then be exposed to different pre-specified anticancer drugs to hopefully reveal sensitivity or lack of sensitivity in the specific patient.
