What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

Researchers at IRCCS San Raffaele are creating a registry of images and videos from endoscopic ultrasound procedures performed to investigate pancreatic diseases. The study will gather data from about 12,000 patients with conditions like pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, and neuroendocrine tumors, as well as those at high risk. By compiling this visual and clinical information, the team aims to identify features that could improve diagnostic accuracy and help predict patient outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this registry could help doctors spot patterns in endoscopic images that lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses of pancreatic conditions, and may even predict how patients will fare.
What could go wrong
This is an observational registry, not a treatment test. It will not directly change patient care, and any insights will need further validation before they influence clinical practice.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Approximately 12,000 patients who, between 2000 and 2027, underwent endoscopic ultrasound procedures at the Bilio-Pancreatic Endoscopy and Endoscopic Ultrasound Unit of the IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital for suspected diagnoses (based on clinical and/or diagnostic evaluations suggesting a potential diagnosis of one of the diseases listed below) and/or confirmed diseases (verified by histological and/or radiological reports when histological diagnosis was not possible).

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Suspected or confirmed diagnosis of inflammatory pancreatic disease (e.g., acute, recurrent, or chronic pancreatitis) or autoimmune bilio-pancreatic disease (e.g., autoimmune pancreatitis) or bilio-pancreatic neoplastic disease, necessitating an endoscopic ultrasonography procedure. * Age over 18 years. * Ability to provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnancy and breastfeeding status. * Contraindications to the endoscopic ultrasonography procedure
