Ultrasound-guided heat treatment for pancreatic insulinoma tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat (delivered through an ultrasound scope) to treat insulinoma—a hormone-producing pancreatic tumor that causes low blood sugar. The procedure may offer a less invasive alternative to surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of insulinoma (usually confirmed by a small tissue sample taken during an ultrasound procedure)
- You must be willing and able to participate in the study and understand the informed consent form
- You should not have severe other medical conditions that would make the procedure too risky

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) to deliver heat energy directly to certain small tumors in the pancreas or adrenal gland. It may be an option for people who cannot have surgery or whose tumors are growing slowly.
This trial studies an endoscopy-guided procedure that aims to treat certain pancreatic tumors using a targeted heat “burn.” It may help people who have a pancreatic tumor but cannot safely have surgery, or who prefer a non-surgical approach.
This trial tests a procedure that uses an endoscope and ultrasound to heat (radiofrequency ablate) pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It may help shrink tumors while aiming to be a less invasive option.
This trial studies using a camera-guided, ultrasound-guided heat procedure to treat solid tumors in the stomach, liver, kidney, or adrenal glands. It may help people who cannot safely have surgery, or who prefer a non-surgical option.
This trial tests a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure that uses heat to treat certain pancreatic cysts (fluid-filled sacs) and small neuroendocrine tumors (hormone-producing growths). It may be an option if surgery isn't possible or if you prefer to avoid it.
This study tests how safe and effective endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) is for treating pancreatic growths that might become cancer or already are cancer. It is for people who are already scheduled to have this procedure as part of their care.
