ClinConnect Summary

The IMPACT project is a clinical trial aimed at improving the care of patients with pancreatic cancer and related conditions. The main goal is to create a system that allows different medical centers to share important patient data. By doing this, researchers can develop and test new computer tools that could help doctors provide better treatment and care for patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

To participate in this trial, you must be at least 18 years old and either have been diagnosed with pancreatic issues (whether benign or malignant) or be a healthy individual who has had an abdominal CT scan. If you choose to join, your data will contribute to important research that could enhance the quality of care for future patients. However, if you prefer not to have your data used for research, you won’t be able to participate. This study is currently looking for new participants, and both men and women are welcome to join.
