About this study

Official title: Score of Echogenicity and Pancreatic Echo-endoscopy

Metabolic syndrome is defined by the presence of at least two of the following five criteria: abdominal perimeter> 94 cm in men, 80 cm in women, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, HTA and hyperglycemia.

The metabolic syndrome can lead to ultrasound hepatic steatosis in 20 to 40% of cases depending on the population studied (overweight vs obesity). What is the impact of this syndrome on pancreatic echogenicity?

Read the detailed description

Little is known about the pathogenesis of the fatty pancreas. Fat can replace acinar cells and / or pancreatic endocrine cells (1). To date, there are no biomarkers allowing the detection of a fatty pancreas. It appears that older age, male, obesity, alcohol consumption, high triglycerides, high ALT, diabetes or insulin resistance, fatty liver and metabolic syndrome are risk factors for a fatty pancreas (2,3,4).To the investigator's knowledge, these different factors have not been evaluated on the impact of pancreatic echogenecity in endosonography. The objective of this study is to correlate the factors making up the metabolic syndrome with pancreatic echogenecity.

What participants receive

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

  • Endoscopic ultrasoundProcedure or surgery

    Echo-endoscopy ultrasound is an examination that presents little risk. However, any medical act, exploration, intervention even conducted under conditions of competence and safety in accordance with current data of medicine and the regulations in force, conceals a risk of complications. In particular, esophageal perforations can occur. They are often favored by underlying lesions (tumor, diverticulum, anatomical variants ...). Other complications are possible such as cardiovascular, respiratory or infectious disorders, as with any anesthesia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of the pancreatic echogenicity by endoscopic ultrasound with the metabolic syndrome

    Three categories of echogenicity have been defined. The presence of one or more factors of the metabolic syndrome was correlated with the category of pancreatic echogenicity defined by the experts

    Measured: During the reading of the echo-endoscopic procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparaison of the echogenicity of the pancreas with respect to the liver and to the spleen will be made.

    The pancreatic echogenicity score will be assessed with the following criteria

    1. The visibility of Wirsung in three categories: excellent, average, poor
    2. that of the contours in 3 categories good or average or poor visualization of the splenic vein
    3. that of the parenchyma in 3 categories: normal, brilliant, not too obstructing the visualization of the Wirsung and the splenic vein, very promising embarrassing the visualization of the Wirsung and the splenic vein
    4. with in addition a -heterogeneous or - homogeneous item for the parenchyma.

    Measured: During the reading of the echo-endoscopic procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity, run by Centre Hospitalier Saint Joseph Saint Luc de Lyon at 5 sites in France.

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 7 inclusion and 2 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 13 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in France. 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?

Correlation of the pancreatic echogenicity by endoscopic ultrasound with the metabolic syndrome (time frame: During the reading of the echo-endoscopic procedure). 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 13 Jan 2020.
