To Evaluate the Preliminary Efficacy of Our Digitally Enhanced CHW-led Intervention in Newly Diagnosed PDAC

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a community health worker led intervention that helps facilitate palliative care works to treat newly-diagnostic pancreatic cancer. It will also help understand the impact of this intervention on people who are caregivers for patients with pancreatic cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the community health worker improve symptoms and quality of life in patients with pancreatic cancer? Does the community health worker improve the burden of caregiving and quality of life in family caregivers? Researchers will compare drug ABC to a control (where patients get the care that patients with pancreatic cancer receive including access to handouts and videos that the investigators provide patients by national organizations) to see if the intervention works to help patients with pancreatic cancer. Participants will: Meet with study staff several times over 3 months and complete surveys about their experience and symptoms Patients assigned with the community health worker will meet with them in person or video.
