Phase N/A

Study Overview: This study explores a new way to treat pancreatic neoplasms (tumors). A neoplasm is an abnormal growth of tissue, which can be cancerous. The study uses a method called endoscopic ultrasound-guided pulsed electric field ablation (EUS-PEF). This is a minimally invasive technique that uses electric pulses to destroy tumor cells without harming nearby healthy tissue.

Method: The procedure involves inserting a thin needle into the body with the help of an endoscope (a thin tube with a camera) to deliver electric pulses directly to the tumor. This process aims to treat precancerous or high-risk pancreatic cysts without surgery.

Key Points:

  • Participants will undergo the EUS-PEF procedure on day 0 and follow-up visits at 3 and 6 months, then annually for 3 years.
  • Eligible participants must be over 18, diagnosed with a pancreatic neoplasm, and not suitable for surgery due to other health issues.
  • Women of childbearing age must test negative for pregnancy before treatment.

This study aims to ensure the safety and success of this new treatment option, potentially offering a less risky alternative to surgery for some patients.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

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?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
