New biopsy method for diagnosing solid pancreas lumps
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new approach that combines a special biopsy needle with immediate on-site checking to better diagnose solid pancreas masses. It may help get a clearer diagnosis in one procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a solid pancreas mass larger than 1 cm seen on a scan like CT or MRI.
- You are scheduled for a biopsy of the pancreas using an endoscope and ultrasound (EUS-FNB).
- You have no major heart or blood vessel problems that would make endoscopy unsafe.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners that can't be stopped.
- You are not pregnant and agree to take part in the study.

This trial compares different suction techniques when using a special needle to take tissue samples from a solid pancreas mass during an endoscopic ultrasound. It aims to find the best way to get high-quality samples for diagnosis.
This trial tests two different ways of using a special needle to take a tissue sample from a pancreatic mass during an endoscopic ultrasound procedure. It aims to see which technique works best for getting a clear diagnosis.
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.
This study uses blood taken from a vein to build and check diagnostic models for pancreatic cancer. It may help doctors identify pancreatic cancer more accurately in people who have a suspected mass on imaging.
This trial uses a new, faster method to diagnose solid pancreatic tumors during an endoscopic ultrasound procedure. It combines rapid staining of cells with artificial intelligence to give a quick and accurate diagnosis.
This study tests two new ultrasound techniques to better tell apart pancreatic cancer from other solid growths in the pancreas. If you have a solid pancreas mass, the results could help doctors choose the most appropriate treatment without unnecessary surgery.
