This research trial studies circulating tumor material in blood samples from patients with pancreatic diseases. Collecting and storing samples of blood from patients with pancreatic diseases to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and identify biomarkers related to cancer.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT02471170.
