About this study

Official title: Comparison of Confocal Laser Endomicroscopic IN Vivo Diagnosis and EX Vivo Examination (INDEX Study) Against Surgical Histopathology of Cystic Pancreatic Lesions

Comparison of confocal laser endomicroscopic in vivo diagnosis and ex vivo examination against surgical histopathology of cystic pancreatic lesions.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of the study is to assess the ability of nCLE (AQ-Flex) to accurately diagnose the type of CPL by comparing in vivo and ex vivo CLE patterns to final histopathology of surgically resected CPLs. The primary endpoints are whether or not the CLE diagnosis correlates with final diagnosis (yes vs. no).

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnosis of cystic pancreatic lesion (CPL) using nCLE (confocal laser endomicroscopy)

    Comparing the ability of nCLE to accurately diagnose the type of CPL by comparing in vivo and ex vivo CLE patterns to final histopathology of surgically resected CPLs.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Detection of high-grade dysplasia and/or adenocarcinoma by CLE imaging

    Measured: 12 months

  2. CLE imaging interpretation variation

    Calculate inter-observer variation in CLE image interpretation

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Pancreatic Disorders, run by Somashekar Krishna 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 9 inclusion and 7 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 17 Oct 2019. 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?

Diagnosis of cystic pancreatic lesion (CPL) using nCLE (confocal laser endomicroscopy) (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT02516488, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 17 Oct 2019.
