Trial summary

Distinguishing intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) from other pancreatic cystic lesions is essential as IPMNs bear risk of becoming malignant. Differentiating the main pancreatic duct involving IPMNs (MD-IPMNs) with imaging can be difficult. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Single-operator Peroral Pancreatoscopy in Preoperative Diagnostics of Presumed Main Duct Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms: Efficacy and Novel Insights on Complications

Distinguishing intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) from other pancreatic cystic lesions is essential as IPMNs bear risk of becoming malignant. Differentiating the main pancreatic duct involving IPMNs (MD-IPMNs) with imaging can be difficult. Single-operator peroral pancreatoscopy (SOPP) has shown to be a promising method offering additional information on suspected lesions in the main pancreatic duct (MD). We aimed to establish the role of SOPP in preoperative diagnostics of presumed MD-IPMNs. A secondary objective was to identify factors that contribute to SOPP-related complications.

Read the detailed description

In this multicenter, partly prospective, but mostly retrospective cohort study, 101 SOPPs were performed due to presumed MD-IPMNs in three centers. As a key outcome, the rate of how often visual appearance of MD, and/or MD flushing liquid samples and biopsies taken during SOPP affected further clinical care, was determined. Secondly, post-SOPP complications according to Cotton consensus criteria, diameter of MD, use of prophylactic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and pancreatic stents, duration of SOPP and timing of pancreatic sphincterotomy (PS) were documented.

What participants receive

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

  • SpyGlass pancreatoscopyProcedure or surgery

    During the SpyGlass pancreatoscopy procedure visually guided biopsies and flushing liquid are collected from the pancreatic duct

What is being measured

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

  1. Histologic diagnosis given by the collected samples

    Pathologists report

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Influence in decision-making concerning the patients clinical management

    Multidisplinary meeting decision after SpyGlass

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Post procedural complications emerged after SpyGlass pancreatoscopy

    According to Cotton criteria

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm, run by Helsinki University Central Hospital at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 20 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Sweden, Finland. 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?

Histologic diagnosis given by the collected samples (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03062124, which also lists 2 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 20 May 2021.
