Antibiotics before draining a pancreatic cyst
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics before a procedure that drains fluid from a pancreatic cyst reduces the risk of infection. If you are scheduled for this procedure, the study aims to see if the added antibiotics are helpful.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses artificial intelligence to look at EUS images and other information to better understand and manage pancreatic cysts. It aims to help doctors tell different types of cysts apart so they can choose the best treatment for you.
This study tests whether giving antibiotics for a longer time after pancreatic surgery helps prevent infections. If you had a stent placed to drain bile before surgery, you may be eligible.
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 study tests a new lab test called PanCystPro that looks at fluid taken from a pancreatic cyst during an endoscopic ultrasound. It aims to help doctors better manage your condition.
This study tests whether an endoscopy-based “radiofrequency ablation” (controlled heating) can manage certain pancreatic cysts that look high-risk. It’s designed for people who are not good candidates for surgery, aiming to shrink or control the cyst safely.
This study collects blood and cystic fluid samples from people who are already scheduled for surgery to remove a worrisome pancreatic cyst. The goal is to learn more about these cysts and possibly improve future diagnosis and treatment.
