PanKind Partnered Trials

Research by nature is exploratory. Our endorsement of these studies does not pre-suppose positive outcomes of the study.

If you are interested in participating in a clinical trial, please speak to your doctor to make sure that it is right for you.

 

The PRoCESS Trial

The Pancreatic cancer Relatives Counselling and Education Support Service or PRoCESS trial aims to explore whether talking to a trained nurse-counsellor via video or phone is helpful. Learn more here.

The purpose of the study is to improve access to specialist nurse-led care for people affected by pancreatic cancer. The study aims to design a telehealth model of specialist nurse-led care to improve access to cancer supportive care for people affected by pancreatic cancer.

Recruitment for this trial has now concluded.

Pathways Study

The Pancreatic Cancer Pathways to Diagnosis Study (the Pathways Study) aims to talk to people who have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer to gain a detailed understanding of the ways in which Australians reach their diagnosis. This will help us to develop strategies to help future patients receive their diagnosis quickly.

What does participation involve?

  1. Completing a questionnaire, on a paper form or online. The questionnaire asks about factors such as education and lifestyle, and also includes an assessment of how people have adjusted to their diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
  2. Taking part in an interview, either by telephone or using zoom videoconferencing. In the interview we will ask detailed information about symptoms, and the pathway to diagnosis.
