Patients with pancreatic cystsActive comparatorFine-needle aspiration (FNA) by Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) will collect liquid from patients' pancreatic cysts to measure their Interleukin and TNF levels

Receives: Procedure: EUS with fine-needle aspiration of pancreatic cyst; Diagnostic Test: Laboratory Blood test

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Prediction of malignant potential of pancreatic cyst by measuring Interleukin levels

    Interleukin 1,8,10 will be measured quantitatively by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The same interleukins levels will be measured in serum of same patients and control group. Results will enable classification of cysts to either high or low risk malignancy potential.

    Measured: Two years

  2. Prediction of malignant potential of pancreatic cyst by measuring TNF levels

    TNF levels will be measured quantitatively by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The same TNF levels will be measured in serum of same patients and control group. Results will enable classification of cysts to either high or low risk malignancy potential.

    Measured: Two years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EUS with fine-needle aspiration of pancreatic cyst and Laboratory Blood test in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Hillel Yaffe Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jun 2017. 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 Israel. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yael Kopelman, MD (972-50-6246840, yaelk@hy.health.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prediction of malignant potential of pancreatic cyst by measuring Interleukin levels (time frame: Two years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Jun 2017.
