About this study

Official title: Accuracy of Cyst Fluid Glucose for the On-site Diagnosis of Mucinous Pancreatic Cysts

This study evaluates the utility of using cyst fluid glucose levels to diagnose mucinous pancreatic cysts during endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) procedures.

Read the detailed description

Mucinous pancreatic cysts are considered pre-cancerous. The standard evaluation of pancreatic cysts usually includes endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). The cyst fluid sample from EUS-FNA is routinely sent for lab analysis (carcinoembryonic antigen-CEA) and cytology assessment. The diagnosis of a mucinous cyst is usually based on those results.

For study participants undergoing EUS-FNA, a small portion of the cyst fluid will be analyzed for glucose levels using a bedside glucometer in addition to the routine analyses. A low cyst fluid glucose level may correlate with a diagnosis of a mucinous cyst. The primary aim of this study will be to determine if a low cyst fluid glucose level correlates with standard laboratory cyst fluid analysis (CEA) in establishing a diagnosis of a mucinous pancreatic cyst.

Secondary aims of this study will be: (1) comparing the accuracy of cyst fluid glucose to CEA level among subjects with a proven diagnosis of a mucinous cyst (based on surgery or cytopathology findings), and (2) determining the optimal cyst fluid glucose level that correlates to a proven diagnosis of a mucinous cyst (based on subjects who undergo surgery or have a diagnosis based on cytopathology).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pancreatic cyst fluid glucose analysis using a bedside glucometer in people with Pancreatic Cyst, run by Ochsner Health System at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cyst fluid glucose level (time frame: immediate, point-of-care measurement at time of EUS-FNA of pancreatic cyst fluid). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Oct 2022.
