Low site engagement and accrual

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.

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patient has consented to germline genetic testing
• Patient has a histologically confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
• Patient has undergone or is planned to undergo surgical resection with curative intent
• Patient is willing to allow collection of a tissue sample from surgical resection
• Patient is willing to provide research blood samples (every 6 months for 2 years)
• Patient must be at least 18 years of age

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient has evidence of metastatic or recurrent pancreatic cancer at time of consent
• Patient is unable to consent.

Adults with resectable pancreatic cancer.

Invitae may share de-identified information and data generated through the study with third parties, including biopharmaceutical companies and biomedical researchers (e.g. academic), for clinical trials, drug development, and other disease-related research purposes.

Only a subset of Invitae personnel will have access to PHI. The PHI will be stored in a secure location and will only be made available to Invitae personnel involved in the Study. Any academic publication of data analysis from this Study will use de-identified information only.
