Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To create a comprehensive system to collect, catalogue and store blood specimens from subjects with pancreatic cancer for future research use. [The frequency of research blood collection will be up to 4 times in an 8 week period.]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To create a computerized clinical data set from subjects with pancreatic cancer that contains information related to the subject's general health, disease status, treatments, and response. [The frequency of research blood collection will be up to 4 times in an 8 week period.]
- To integrate the data and specimens to permit the most informative clinical-biologic research platform. [The frequency of research blood collection will be up to 4 times in an 8 week period.]
