   Endoscopic Ethanol Ablation of Communicating Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasms

   Location:

   Rochester, MN

   Trial status:

   Open for Enrollment

   Why is this study being done?

   Subjects will undergo EUS and/or ERCP as outpatients. For cysts shown to communicate with the main pancreas duct, a balloon catheter will be placed in the main pancreatic duct via ERCP. The balloon catheter will isolate the cyst from the main pancreatic duct, allowing ethanol injections of the cyst. A pancreatic duct stent will be placed in some patients, requiring repeat endoscopy for removal at another time.

   Evaluation of PCLs Using Three EUS-FNA Needles

   Location:

   Jacksonville, FL Scottsdale and Phoenix, AZ

   Trial status:

   Open for Enrollment

   Why is this study being done?

   To document impact of EUS-FNA needle size and flexibility on effectiveness of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCL) drainage, on ability to obtain sufficient material for standard diagnostic testing, and on diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA aspirate for differentiation of mucinous (pre-malignant) and non-mucinous cysts.
