Title

A Prospective Study to Establish a New Onset Hyperglycemia and Diabetes Cohort


Study Co-Chairs
•    Dr. Anirban Maitra, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
•    Dr. Suresh Chari, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
•    Dr. Bechien Wu, Kaiser Permanente Southern California


Study Overview
"To prospectively assemble a cohort of subjects >50 and ≤85 years of age with New-onset Hyperglycemia and Diabetes (NOD), called the NOD Cohort, in order to:
1.    Estimate the probability of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in the NOD Cohort,
2.    Establish a biobank of clinically annotated biospecimens including a reference set of biospecimens from pre-symptomatic PDAC and control new-onset hyperglycemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) subjects,
3.    Facilitate validation of emerging tests for identifying NOD subjects at high risk for having PDAC using the reference set.


Primary Objectives
1. Assemble the NOD Cohort
      1. A prospective NOD Cohort of 10,000 enrolled, eligible subjects will be assembled over the next 3 years, with each patient participating for up to 3 years from the date they meet criteria for hyperglycemia and diabetes.
2. Develop a Biobank
    1. All subjects in the NOD protocol will provide biospecimens at baseline (at the time of recruitment), and subsequently at 6, 12, and 24 months.
3.  Estimate the probability of PDAC in the prospectively assembled NOD Co-hort
    1. The 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year incidence rates of PDAC and their 95% confidence intervals will be calculated via passive surveillance of health status of all enrolled patients.
4.  Establish a specimen reference set to validate emerging tests for identifying NOD patients at high risk for having PDAC.
