What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Direct visualization and needle based confocal laser-induced endomicroscopy miniprobeDevice

    Also called Cellvizio, nCLE, Spyglass

    Patients will undergo the EUS-FNA procedure, as per standard of care, plus an additional direct visualization (fiber optic probe) and nCLE procedure with the prototype probes, which will add 10 minutes maximum to the EUS-FNA procedure.

    The probes will be positioned against the lining of the pancreatic cyst, and images will be acquired. After imaging, fine needle aspiration of the lesion will be performed, as usual.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assess the yield of combination modalities in the diagnosis of pancreatic cysts using EUS/FNA, Fiber optics (direct visualization probe), and prototype needle based confocal laser-induced endomicroscopy miniprobe (nCLE)

    Data will be analyzed descriptively to include patient characteristics, procedural variables, and outcomes.

    Measured: From the date of imaging until follow up for 6 months to two years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Cysts, run by University of California, Irvine at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assess the yield of combination modalities in the diagnosis of pancreatic cysts using EUS/FNA, Fiber optics (direct visualization probe), and prototype needle based confocal laser-induced endomicroscopy miniprobe (nCLE) (time frame: From the date of imaging until follow up for 6 months to two years.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01447238, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Apr 2021.
