Trial Identification
Brief Title: A Study of Pancreatic Cancer in Xenografts From Liver Metastases
Official Title: A Feasibility Study Of Developing Murine Primary Xenografts From Biopsies Of Liver Metastases In Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Study ID: NCT01774643
Interventions
Study Description
Brief Summary: This is a feasibility study to perform image-guided liver biopsies in 25 patients who have pancreatic cancer with liver metastasis (cancer in the pancreas that has spread to the liver). This will contribute with samples for the bio-bank (bank of tumors) and develop xenografts (human tumors growing in mice) for further analysis of genes.
Detailed Description: This study might bring a better understanding of the metastatic pancreatic cancer and evaluate the differences between the metastatic and the primary pancreatic cancer (the type that does not have metastasis).
