Abstract

517Background: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death, with a recurrence rate of 85% after curative surgery and a 5-year survival rate of 10%. Serum biomarkers like CA 19-9 lack sensitivity and specificity (10% of patients fail to produce CA 19-9), and are poor indicators of molecular residual disease (MRD). Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection allows for MRD identification months ahead of radiological findings, and may assess molecular response and patient outcomes. Methods: A personalized and tumor-informed multiplex PCR assay (Signatera? bespoke mPCR NGS assay) was used for the detection and quantification of ctDNA in a prospective clinical cohort of patients. Serial time points were collected for unresectable, borderline resectable, and resectable subsets of patients to monitor ctDNA levels in response to treatment (see Table). Results: 93 patients were included, with a median age of 67.3 yrs and 45% female. 285 timepoints were analyzed for ctDNA presence, with each patient having between 1 and 7 timepoints (median 3 timepoints per patient). 46 patients had one or more samples positive for ctDNA, resulting in an anytime ctDNA positivity rate of 49.5%. Anytime positivity correlated with the stage of disease (p
