Testing a new biopsy brush for pancreatic cysts before surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to take a sample from a pancreatic cyst before surgery. It may help doctors better understand the cyst and plan the right treatment. This trial is for people who are already scheduled to have their cyst removed.

This study follows how pancreatic cancer changes over time while you’re receiving treatment before surgery. It may help doctors understand how the cancer evolves and guide better future treatment choices.
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 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 compares different ways to monitor pancreatic cysts and also measures blood or other test markers to see which approach is more helpful. It may help patients by finding the safest, most effective way to track certain cysts that could otherwise be hard to manage.
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 trial tests different ways of taking a biopsy (tissue sample) from a pancreatic mass using a special needle during an endoscopic ultrasound. It aims to find the best technique for getting a clear diagnosis with fewer complications.
