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).

This study looks at how doctors use endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) to diagnose and manage tumors in the pancreas and nearby areas. If you have such a tumor, this study may help improve how these conditions are treated.
This study is collecting information from people who may have pancreatic cancer to see how a new ultrasound imaging technique (called LINFU) works for helping doctors decide whether a biopsy is needed. Participation could provide better imaging to guide your care.
This trial uses a special ultrasound test to collect cells from a pancreatic tumor and study them to better predict if the cancer may come back or spread. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment plan for each person.
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 study is looking at healthy adults who have no symptoms or risk factors for pancreatic cancer to test a new imaging method that may help find early signs of the disease. If you join, you will have an endoscopic ultrasound (a thin tube with a camera passed to your stomach) to check your pancreas.
