Objectives

Narrative objectives1

1.We will analyze miRNA profiles obtained from comprehensive measurements of miRNAs extracted from urine samples of patients with risk factors for pancreatic cancer (high-risk patients for pancreatic cancer) and evaluate their relevance to clinical information obtained through routine medical care. In particular, if the development of pancreatic cancer is confirmed during the follow-up period, we will analyze the changes in miRNA profiles leading up to the development of pancreatic cancer
2.We will comprehensively analyze the methylation patterns of cfDNA extracted from urine samples of high-risk pancreatic cancer patients and evaluate the relevance of the methylation patterns to clinical information obtained through routine medical care. In particular, if the development of pancreatic cancer is confirmed during the follow-up period, we will analyze the changes in miRNA profiles leading up to the development of pancreatic cancer.

Basic objectives -Others

We will measure and analyze other biomarkers (nucleic acids, proteins, metabolites, urine qualitative, etc.) extracted from urine samples of patients at high risk of pancreatic cancer, and evaluate their relevance to the clinical information obtained in the usual medical examination. By complementing the previous analysis of miRNA profiles and cfDNA methylation patterns, we will search for urinary biomarkers to more accurately capture pathological changes (e.g., development of pancreatic cancer) in patients at high risk for pancreatic cancer.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

We will measure miRNA profiles and DNA methylation profiles from the specimens collected in this study. The correlation between these profiles and clinical information, such as changes in the condition of high-risk pancreatic cancer patients (including the onset of pancreatic cancer), will be evaluated over the follow-up period.
In especially cases where the development of pancreatic cancer is confirmed during the follow-up period, changes in miRNA profiles leading up to the development of pancreatic cancer will be analyzed.

Key secondary outcomes

Additionally, we will apply the classification model for pancreatic cancer diagnosis, including early stages, which was constructed using machine learning of miRNA profiles in previous joint research by Craif Inc. We will evaluate the correlation between the judgment results of this classification model and clinical information.
