NEO-Match nanomechanical testing of pancreatic tumor samples
Official title: Artidis Nanomechanical Signature Profiling of Pancreatic Cancer Specimens (ANoPs)
Run by Artidis Ag · NCT07542041 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This will test whether the NEO-Match® nanomechanical test on biopsy tissue can help predict response to pre-surgery treatment and detect cancer in people with suspected pancreatic tumors.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (age ≥18) referred for fine-needle biopsy of a suspicious pancreatic lesion who can provide informed consent are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients not undergoing biopsy, with lesions inaccessible for sampling, or requiring immediate palliative care are unlikely to benefit from this testing.

What this trial studies
This prospective, single-arm study at Moffitt Cancer Center collects one extra biopsy sample during routine pancreatic biopsy or surgery for analysis with the ARTIDIS ART-1 atomic force microscopy device. The ART-1 measures nanomechanical properties of fresh tissue to generate a NEO-Match® score, which will be compared with standard histopathology, imaging findings, and clinical outcomes including response to neoadjuvant therapy. Participation is integrated into standard clinical workflow and does not alter or delay care. Researchers aim to see if nanomechanical profiling can improve diagnostic accuracy and predict treatment response in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the test could give clinicians earlier and more accurate information to guide decisions about pre-surgical therapy and other treatments.
How similar studies have gone: AFM-based nanomechanical profiling has shown promise in pilot studies for distinguishing malignant from benign tissue, but its predictive use for neoadjuvant response in pancreatic cancer is still largely unproven.
