Trial summary

Due to widespread use of cross-sectional imaging modalities, pancreatic cysts are common in abdominal image. These lesions encompass a wide spectrum, ranging from benign to malignant. The diagnosing specific type of cystic lesion is limited in spite of recent advances of diagnostic modalities. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: EUS-guided Double Ethanol Lavage for Pancreatic Cysts: a Prospective Cohort Study

Due to widespread use of cross-sectional imaging modalities, pancreatic cysts are common in abdominal image. These lesions encompass a wide spectrum, ranging from benign to malignant. The diagnosing specific type of cystic lesion is limited in spite of recent advances of diagnostic modalities. Surgical resection is generally recommended for malignant and potentially malignant lesions. However, surgical resection has significant morbidity and sometimes mortality. Recently, a few study of EUS-guided ethanol lavage for cystic tumors of the pancreas reported that complete resolution was achieved in only one-third of patients. Ethanol lavage of pancreatic cysts may be alternative method to surgical resection.

The purpose of this study is the double ethanol lavage is a safe and effective method for treatment in those with the indeterminate pancreas cysts.

What participants receive

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

  • Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided double ethanol lavageDrug

    Also called Ethanol

    A radial echoendoscope and a 22 gauge needle were then used for cyst fluid aspiration and ethanol lavage.

    The 80 percent volume of cyst fluid was aspirated, and the pure ethanol was injected into the collapsed cyst until the original shape was restored. After 3-5 minutes, the reaspiration of the injected ethanol was then performed. The pure ethanol was reinjected into the collapsed cyst, followed by reaspiration of maximal possible volume for 3-5 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Subjects with Complete or Partial response of treatment

    Complete or partial response of treatment will be defined by the presence of a treated cystic structure, and its volume and maximum diameter in cross-sectional imaging studies (CT, MR)

    Measured: 1 year after final treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence rate of adverse events after treatment

    Adverse events include pancreatitis, bleeding, perforation, any other occurrence resulting in hospitalization, medical treatment, surgery, death, or disability

    Measured: 1 year after final treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided double ethanol lavage in people with Pancreatic Mucinous-Cystic Neoplasm, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2015. 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 South Korea. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jong-Kyun Lee, M.D., Ph.D. (82-2-3410-3407, jongk.lee@samsung.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of Subjects with Complete or Partial response of treatment (time frame: 1 year after final treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 12 Feb 2015.
