An Exosomal miRNA Based Predictive Model for Personalized Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Selection in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Small RNA sequencing and PRECEPT assay (qRT-PCR validation) for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma. Currently recruiting, targeting 200 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study aims to develop and validate a predictive microRNA (miRNA) panel to assess the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in patients with resectable and borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
High-throughput small RNA sequencing performed on pre-treatment plasma samples from PDAC patients in the Discovery cohort to identify candidate microRNAs associated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy response. Sequencing data were analyzed to detect differentially expressed miRNAs between responder (CR + PR + SD) and non-responder (PD) groups.
Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR)-based validation assay performed on pre-treatment plasma samples in the Training and Validation cohorts. Candidate microRNAs identified in the Discovery cohort by small RNA sequencing were tested using the PRECEPT assay to develop and validate a predictive miRNA panel for neoadjuvant chemotherapy response.
