Endoscopic care for pancreatic and bile duct diseases
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You have a suspected growth in the pancreas, bile duct, ampulla, or duodenum that may need treatment
- You are already being considered for a specific type of endoscopy called EUS
- You are able to understand and agree to take part in the study

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.
This early-phase trial is testing a new endoscopic (from inside the stomach) approach for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that is locally advanced and cannot be removed with surgery. It may help some people who have already tried first chemotherapy and still have a tumor confined to the pancreas area (no spread).
This study uses small pancreatic cancer samples grown in the lab to understand which treatments may work best for people with pancreatic cancer. It may help researchers better “profile” tumors so standard care can be matched to the most effective options.
This trial uses a special endoscope (EUS) to take samples of your pancreatic tumor and then analyzes those samples with advanced tests to see if we can predict whether the cancer will come back or spread. It may help tailor your treatment plan.
This study collects pictures and information from people who have a routine endoscopic ultrasound to look at the pancreas and bile ducts. It aims to learn more about these conditions and improve future care.
This study keeps a careful record (registry) of patients who need ultrasound-guided therapeutic endoscopy. It aims to learn how well and safely this ultrasound technique works during real-life procedures.
