Antibiotics before draining pancreatic cysts
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether giving antibiotics before draining a pancreatic cyst with a small needle can help prevent infections. It is for people who are already scheduled for this procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have a pancreatic cyst that needs to be drained with a small needle during an endoscopic ultrasound
- You are in stable health (ASA 1, 2, or 3 – this means your daily activities are not severely limited by other health problems)
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take strong blood thinners that would increase bleeding risk

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 trial tests if a specific antibiotic (piperacillin/tazobactam) can prevent infections after pancreatic surgery in people who had a stent placed before the operation. It compares two treatment strategies to find the best way to use antibiotics.
This trial tests a procedure using an ultrasound through the stomach to drain fluid collections that form after pancreatitis. It aims to relieve symptoms like pain or blockages without major surgery.
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 procedure using an ultrasound camera passed through your mouth to inject medicine directly into pancreatic cysts. It may help shrink cysts in people who cannot have surgery.
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.
