Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome (MS) have all been associated with increase of pancreatic cancer (PK) risk. The precise role of obesity and diabetes and the pathways involved in the early oncogenic phases of PK associated with MS are not well known. The investigators hypothesize that it is possible to decipher this specific "fat-fibrosis-neoplastic sequence", to develop new imaging tools adapted to follow its progression, to test the benefit of treatments to slow this sequence and prevent the development of PK in obese and diabetic patients.This project is in line with a prevention strategy, by planning to understand the physiopathological pathways involved in MS leading to PK, to develop tools useful to screen early precancerous lesions in order to diagnose and treat patients at high risk, before cancer involvement.

This clinical trial is part of the INCA PAIR PANCREAS project : Early stages of pancreatic cancer associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome:

prevention and screening tools - Imaging of fatty pancreas in humans: correlation with pathological analysis, which includes 3 main coordinated objectives an in vitro approach an in vivo approach and this study (clinical approach).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Translational approach with direct application to humans, to test specific imaging MRI sequences in obese patients.

Obesity and metabolic syndrome are a well-known risk factor of pancreatic cancer. Obesity is associated with about 30% increased risk in all studies, but the proportion of obese people varies considerably from one country to another. Therefore, the proportion of cancer attributable to obesity could range from 3% to 16%. Numerous epidemiological studies confirmed that obesity is a risk factor of pancreatic cancer in obese men and women (BMI, kg/m2≥30.0), with a relative risk estimated to 1.76 (95% CI, 0.90-3.45) and 1.70 (95% CI, 1.09-2.64), respectively. As previously demonstrated by partners 9 and 10, obesity is associated with fat pancreatic infiltration and precancerous lesions, such as PanIN lesions in humans. Pancreatic lesions such as adipose infiltration, iron deposits, extent of fibrosis, acino-ductal metaplasia and Pan-IN are involved in pancreatic oncogenesis.

The goal of this study is to be able to diagnose early precancerous states in patients, such as acino-ductal metaplasia (and also PanIN lesions which are more frequently observed in humans,) inflammatory process (iron deposits, fibrosis lesions) and adipose involvement in the context of obesity and metabolic syndrome. Investigators hypothesis is that specific MR imaging sequences, adapted from previous studies in rodents, could be a relevant tool to diagnose early pancreatic lesions and follow their evolution in the context of obesity and metabolic syndrome.

To this aim, the investigators will conduct a study to assess the relevance of MR imaging sequences to diagnose specific pancreatic lesions in obese patients, validated at the microscopic level. The investigators will analyze MR imaging of obese patients (BMI\>30)/non obese patients (BMI\<25) with a planned pancreatic surgery. It will be possible to compare imaging with histology performed on resected parenchyma. The investigators propose a proof-of-concept study aiming at assessing the relevance of specific MR imaging to diagnose early pancreatic lesions in humans and in obese patients especially. MR imaging will be performed in both obese and non obese patients with a planned pancreatic surgery in hospital to resect a benign lesion (such as neuroendocrine tumour or IPMN...). MRI are performed in the normal course of care; their sequences will be adapted for this study. It will be possible to compare imaging with histology of the resected parenchyma.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Volunteer patient

1st stage: To adjust the transducer, test and validate pancreatic MRI sequences on volunteers without history of known pancreatic disorders. Adjustment of MRI parameters is needed to optimize data acquisition, especially in obese patients. Moreover, an external material (transducer) has to be applied on the abdomen. The right position has to be tested and specified before stages 2 and 3 of the study. We aim to include volunteers without history of known pancreatic disorders for the Stage 1, meaning volunteers without personal history or symptoms suggesting pancreatic disorders.

Group Type OTHER

MRI

Intervention Type RADIATION

MRI with 15 min additional sequences to validate and assess pancreatic MRI sequences

Obese volunteers with indication for hepatic MRI

2nd stage: To validate and assess pancreatic MRI sequences on obese volunteers with indication for hepatic MRI , in relation with acceptable resolution and field of view criteria applicable to the typical anteroposterior diameters found in obese persons. For Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE), the amplitude setting of the MRE transducer will be adapted to the size of obese patients, in addition to the aforementioned adjustments to spatial resolution and field of view sizes. The effect of frequency on MRE data quality will be investigated. The effects of respiratory motion will be investigated; indeed in obese patients respiration amplitude is typically low and this enables to acquire data in free breathing mode over long periods of time, which offers more possibilities (notably in terms of averaging, spatial resolution, mechanical wave sampling rate) than when constraining acquisition parameters with a maximum breath hold time of less than 20s.
