About this trial
The purpose of this study is for researchers to find ways of detecting pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma/PDAC early to avoid the invasive procedure of surgery. The study researchers think a combination of imaging and a series of blood tests may be an effective way to detect PDAC early. In this study, researchers will look at whether a combination of the following types of imaging with blood tests can detect PDAC in pancreatic cysts:
* The ImmunoPET scan (immune-positron emission tomography scan) with the imaging agent 89Zr-DFO-HuMab-5B1 * The HP MRI scan (hyperpolarized pyruvate magnetic resonance imaging scan)
