Comparing a new ultrasound tool to the standard scope
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares a new, possibly easier-to-use ultrasound tool (EndoSound Vision System) to the standard echoendoscope for looking at organs like the pancreas, bile duct, or lymph nodes. If you are already scheduled for an endoscopic ultrasound, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) to check the pancreas, bile duct, lymph nodes in the chest or belly, or growths in the esophagus, stomach, or colon.
- You are able to give consent for the procedure (or have a legal representative who can).
- You are not pregnant (if female and of childbearing age).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at the use of endoscopy (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) to diagnose and treat growths in the pancreas, bile ducts, or nearby areas. It aims to understand how well this approach works in people who need it as part of their standard care.
This study tests a new imaging procedure called LINFU® that may help doctors better detect pancreatic cancer. You may join if you have symptoms or an abnormal scan that suggests pancreatic cancer, and you're scheduled for a biopsy.
This trial tests a special camera (confocal laser endomicroscopy) used during an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy to help tell what type of pancreatic cyst is present. It may help doctors decide faster whether surgery is needed.
This trial tests a new computer (deep-learning) system to help analyze pictures from an endoscopic ultrasound scan of the pancreas. It may improve how the scan is done or interpreted, depending on study results.
This trial is studying a new tool called the RIVOS™ EUS access device, which is used during a type of internal ultrasound called endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). The goal is to see how well it works for people who need this procedure.
This trial is testing a new navigation system to help doctors see the pancreas during an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) exam. The system may make it easier to spot lesions or other problems in the pancreas.
