Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation for Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasms and Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

A clinical trial for treating pancreatic cysts and tumors using ultrasound.

Phase N/A

This study is about a new treatment called endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) for pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs). These are types of growths in the pancreas that can sometimes turn cancerous. EUS-RFA is a technique where doctors use a tool that sends high-frequency currents to target and destroy these growths, without needing surgery. This can help people who can't have surgery or don't want it.

The study will see how well EUS-RFA works and if it's safe. It might help avoid surgery, which can be risky and expensive. Patients in the study will have the procedure and then be watched for at least a year to check for any side effects or if the tumors come back. The study is especially for people who can’t have surgery due to other health issues or age.

  • The study includes at least a year of follow-up visits.
  • It is for people unable or unwilling to undergo surgery.
  • Participants must be able to provide consent and meet specific health criteria.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
