Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The purpose of this registry is to create a longitudinal clinical dataset describing patients who undergo EUS-guided RFA or MWA as part of routine care and to explore clinical outcomes and factors associated with those outcomes.

Who may be able to join

  • Adults ≥ 18 years of age.
  • Diagnosis of a pancreatic premalignant lesion or malignancy, and other gastrointestinal or hepatobiliary lesion for which EUS-guided ablation is planned as part of standard clinical care.
  • At least one clinically identified target lesion for which RFA or MWA is performed.

Who cannot join

  • In the judgment of the treating clinician, inclusion in the registry would not be appropriate

About this study

Official title: Prospective Observational Registry of EUS-Guided Ablation (RFA and MWA) for Pancreatic and Other Gastrointestinal Lesions

This is a single-center, investigator-initiated, prospective observational registry that will collect longitudinal clinical data on adult patients (≥18 years) undergoing endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or microwave ablation (MWA) for pancreatic and other gastrointestinal/hepatobiliary lesions as part of routine clinical care. The registry will not alter standard-of-care management. Data will be abstracted from the medical record and routine clinical systems. Primary outcomes include change in target lesion size on clinically obtained imaging and overall survival following ablation. Secondary outcomes include changes in tumor biomarkers, adverse events, non-target lesion changes, and patient-reported symptoms.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of RFA and Microwave Ablation, run by West Virginia University 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 3 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2026. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Zim Warda Hasan (364-203-1900, zh00027@mix.wvu.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline to 1 Month in Target Lesion Size (time frame: Baseline to 1 month). The study lists 6 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 NCT07625189, which also lists 10 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 4 Jun 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
