About this study

Official title: Establish a Diagnostic Model Based on Multiple Molecule Profiling and Certain Established Markers for Identification of Pancreatic Cancer

Explore new markers based on portal venous blood sampling to establish novel diagnostic models for identification of malignant pancreatic mass.

Read the detailed description

EUS-FNA combined cytology detection is an important method for clinical diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma. However, due to factors such as sampling method, smear making, staining technique, lower levels of the pathologists and other factors, its diagnostic sensitivity is still not very satisfactory. Poor diagnostic efficacy usually means another puncture, longer hospital stay, more medications and a higher incidence of adverse events. Missed diagnosis continuously directly delays the treatment time of the disease and seriously affects the patient's prognosis. Therefore, how to use new technologies to improve the differential diagnosis efficiency of benign and malignant pancreatic occupants is the key to improving the prognosis of diabetic cancer patients.

The portal vein blood comes from the venous tract, including the blood flowing from the plasma to the liver. By collecting blood samples from the patient's portal vein, clinicians can separate more information from the patient. Studies have shown that the portal vein blood can be collected by ultrasound endoscopic puncture. This method is less traumatic, convenient and safe, and more information about the retinal tissue can be obtained. It is an important way to improve the efficiency of patient diagnosis. This study intends to use ultrasound endoscopic puncture technology to obtain portal vein blood, and use big data and ctDNA, metabolomics, exosomes and other different omics methods to screen the potential value of volume-occupying benign and malignant differential diagnosis markers in portal vein blood. Peripheral blood will simultaneously be collected to evaluate the efficacy of these newly developed markers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diagnoses Disease, run by Changhai 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 4 inclusion and 8 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 29 Mar 2024. 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 Xiangyu Kong, MD (13564644397, xiangyukong185@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Status of survival (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 29 Mar 2024.
