Trial summary

This study focuses on pancreatic cysts, especially malignant pancreatic cysts. The primary hypothesis of the study is that using nCLE in addition to EUS-FNA and tissue sampling allows better characterization of pancreatic cysts and improves appropriate therapeutic decision-making.

About this study

This study focuses on pancreatic cysts, especially malignant pancreatic cysts. The primary hypothesis of the study is that using nCLE in addition to EUS-FNA and tissue sampling allows better characterization of pancreatic cysts and improves appropriate therapeutic decision-making. For physicians, integrating nCLE into the diagnostic algorithm of pancreatic cysts could impact patient management by: Ruling out malignancy for patients with benign appearing nCLE images. Characterizing more malignant tumors in the pancreas.

Read the detailed description
  1. Medical background: Pancreatic cysts are quite rare, but are being increasingly recognized due to the expanding use of cross-sectional imaging. They are classified into three main classes: pseudocysts, serous cysts and mucinous cystic neoplasms. Either intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) or mucinous cyst adenomas / mucinous cystadenocarcinoma(MCN) Mucinous cystic neoplasms are considered to be malignant or pre-malignant and are considered for surgical resection, whereas pseudocysts and serous cysts are considered benign and with a low potential for malignancy. Pseudocysts and serous cysts are usually only considered for surgical resection when symptomatic or enlarging.
  2. Clinical background: 2.1. Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is the diagnostic method of choice when a pancreatic lesion is found incidentally on cross-sectional imaging. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is a procedure where a target tissue in proximity to the GI tract is biopsied using a fine needle guided in real time by an ultrasound probe fixed at the tip of an endoscope. It may therefore be applied to pancreatic lesions, or lymph nodes examination. 2.2. The principle of needle-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (nCLE) is to image organs within or adjacent to the GI tracts with a miniprobe inserted through an endoscopic needle. The fundamental technology as well as the principle of operation of nCLE are substantially similar to pCLE.
  3. Clinical evidence: Previous studies enabled to define interpretation criteria on the micro-structure of benign pancreatic cysts. Less data is available on malignant pancreatic cysts, except for a few images done in a pilot study of identification of pancreatic cystic neoplasms.
  4. Objectives: 4.1 The primary objective of the study is to assess the diagnostic performance of the Cellvizio nCLE system in diagnosing pancreatic cysts, when associated with other diagnostic information. 4.2 The secondary objectives are to assess the potential impact of the Cellvizio nCLE system on patient management and validate the interpretation classification criteria that were created during the previous studies.
  5. Design:

This study will be conducted in a single center in China.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing nCLE in people with Cystic Tumors of Pancreas, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 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 14 Jul 2020. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Aiming Yang, M.D. (+86-010-69151593, yangaiming@medmail.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic performance of the Cellvizio nCLE system in the characterization of pancreatic cysts (time frame: Within 6 months after the end of Follow-up period). 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 14 Jul 2020.
