Newest Pancreatic Cyst clinical trials

All recruiting trials (16)

• Blood and cyst fluid analysis from patients undergoing pancreatic cyst surgery

  Researchers will collect blood and cyst fluid from adults having pancreatic cysts surgically removed to test for DNA, RNA, and proteins.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Translational Genomics Research Institute · Newport Beach, California and 1 other locations · NCT07767227

• In-depth characterisation of biliary strictures and hepato‑pancreato‑biliary focal lesions to support new diagnostic technologies

  This project will collect detailed imaging and tissue data from adults with suspected bile duct, liver, pancreatic, or gallbladder lesions to help develop and test better diagnostic tools.

  Recruiting University of Nottingham · Nottingham · NCT07206355

• Patient-reported outcomes after pancreatic surgery

  This project will see how pancreatic surgery affects quality of life and whether adults who have pancreatic resection feel satisfied with their decision over time.

  Recruiting at 2 sites University of Arizona · Phoenix, Arizona and 1 other locations · NCT07173257

• Laparoscopic versus robot-assisted left-sided pancreas removal for benign and premalignant lesions

  This trial will randomize adults needing elective left-sided pancreas removal for benign or premalignant lesions to laparoscopic or robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery to see if one approach leads to faster recovery and fewer complications.

  Recruiting Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) · Amsterdam · NCT06939023

• Examining the link between pancreatic steatosis and pancreatic cysts and cancer

  This study is trying to see if having fat in the pancreas is more common in people with pancreatic cysts that could turn into cancer and those with pancreatic cancer.

  Recruiting Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy · Bucharest, Sector 1 · NCT06867172

• Using artificial intelligence to improve endoscopic ultrasound for pancreatic diseases

  This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence system can help doctors find problems in the pancreas during ultrasound exams to improve diagnosis and reduce mistakes.

  Recruiting Orlando Health, Inc. · Orlando, Florida · NCT06564571

• Comparing two methods for examining gastrointestinal lesions

  This study is testing whether a new imaging system for examining gastrointestinal lesions works better than the standard method for people undergoing endoscopic ultrasound.

  Recruiting Orlando Health, Inc. · Orlando, Florida · NCT06340620

• Using tamoxifen to prevent cancer in patients with pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasms

  This study is testing if taking tamoxifen can help people with pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasms avoid surgery by shrinking or stabilizing their cysts.

  Recruiting Phase 1 University of Nebraska · Omaha, Nebraska · NCT06320990

• Detecting pancreatic cancer early using imaging and blood tests

  This study is testing new imaging and blood tests to see if they can help find pancreatic cancer early in people who have high-risk pancreatic cysts.

  Recruiting at 7 sites Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center · Basking Ridge, New Jersey and 7 other locations · NCT06305728

• Using technology to improve care for pancreatic cancer patients

  This study is trying to see if sharing patient data among hospitals can help improve care and outcomes for people with pancreatic cancer.

  Recruiting UMC Utrecht · Utrecht · NCT06055010

• Understanding pancreatic fat and cyst features in patients

  This study is trying to see if measuring fat in the pancreas and liver can help find early signs of dangerous pancreatic cysts in patients who might be at risk for pancreatic cancer.

  Recruiting Chinese University of Hong Kong · Shatin, New Territories · NCT05334836

• Registry for pancreatic cysts at UCSF

  This study is setting up a registry to track patients with pancreatic cysts to see how these cysts change over time and to help doctors make better treatment decisions.

  Recruiting University of California, San Francisco · San Francisco, California · NCT04291651

• Using confocal laser endomicroscopy to diagnose pancreatic cysts

  This study is testing a new imaging technique to see if it can help doctors better diagnose pancreatic cysts in patients who are already being checked for these issues.

  Recruiting at 9 sites Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center · Scottsdale, Arizona and 9 other locations · NCT03492151

• Developing a blood test for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer

  This study is trying to develop a simple blood test to help find pancreatic cancer early and track how well treatments are working for patients.

  Recruiting at 8 sites Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center · Middletown, New Jersey and 12 other locations · NCT03334708

• Collecting bio-specimens from high-risk patients for pancreatic cancer detection

  This study is trying to collect samples from people with pancreatic cysts and those at high risk for pancreatic cancer to see if they can find early signs of the disease.

  Recruiting Stanford University · Stanford, California · NCT03260842

• Registry for patients with pancreatic diseases

  This study is creating a registry to collect information from patients with pancreatic diseases to help researchers understand what causes these conditions and how to prevent them.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai · New York, New York and 1 other locations · NCT02775461

NIH-funded research (2)

Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.

• Needle-guided light test to check pancreatic cysts for cancer risk

  A tiny light-based sensor passed through the same needle used for pancreatic cyst sampling to tell whether a cyst is harmless or shows early cancer changes in people with pancreatic cysts.

  NIH research Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center · Boston, United States · NIH-11326837

• Identifying markers for pancreatic cyst progression and early cancer detection

  This study is looking at how certain proteins and substances in your blood and pancreatic cyst fluid can help predict if your pancreatic cysts, called IPMNs, might turn into cancer, so we can find better ways to keep an eye on them and take action sooner if needed.

Where are these trials running?

In 6 countries. The most sites are in United States (11 trials), Netherlands (2 trials), Israel (1 trial), United Kingdom (1 trial), Hong Kong (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.

What phases are they in?

Phase 1: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.

How do I join one?

Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
