Pancreas Transplant

Clinical Trials

Below is a list of Pancreas Transplant clinical trials from the clinical trials database at Mayo Clinic.

This list includes only trials about which Mayo researchers choose to publish information. Mayo Clinic may be conducting other trials which are not in this database. Mayo's clinical trials include experimental treatments, often unavailable elsewhere, which frequently lead to improved patient care for people worldwide. Patients should ask their doctor at Mayo about clinical trials appropriate for their situation.

Biospecimen Resource for Familial Pancreas Research, a Data and Tissue Registry (also known as a bio-repository, bio-bank, data and tissue database, data and tissue bank, etc.) to Help Advance Research in Familial Pancreas Disease.
The research staff is collecting clinical and family histories, blood and/or tissue samples from family members of patients diagnosed with pancreatic diseases, including pancreatic cancer and melanoma. This will help the researchers to learn whether inherited factors increase the risk of pancreatic diseases, pancreatic cancer, or other cancers. These future studies could involve searching for changes in the genetic material (DNA) taken from blood and/or tissue. The information and samples will be used in future research studies.

Some of the future research studies could involve genetic testing. Because the genetic tests are not used for regular medical care, the patient will not be told the results of the test(s). The test results will not be put in the patient's medical record either.

Biospecimen Resource for Pancreas Research, a Data & Tissue Bank (also known as a bio-repository, bio-bank, data & tissue database, data & tissue registry, etc.) to Help Advance Research in Pancreas Disease.
This study is being done to develop better ways to screen people at risk for pancreatic conditions, including pancreatic cancer. It is being done to try to find new genes or substances that may make some people more likely to develop pancreatic conditions, and to find agents that may help to prevent, treat, or cure them.
