Clinical trial for Pancreatic Cancer
Official title Monitoring and Managing Glucose Levels in People With Pancreatic Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05132244
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether people with pancreatic cancer often have high blood sugar. It looks at how often this happens during cancer treatment.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you have pancreatic cancer and are about to start or are already receiving treatment.
- What's involved
- You will have blood tests before each round of cancer treatment to measure your sugar level. If your sugar is high, you will get the usual care to lower it.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts until your cancer treatment ends or gets worse, with blood tests before each treatment cycle.
