New registry to monitor ablation therapy for Hard-to-Treat gut tumors
NCT ID NCT07625189
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is a registry that will follow 50 adults who are already scheduled to receive EUS-guided radiofrequency or microwave ablation for pancreatic or other gastrointestinal lesions as part of their routine care. Researchers will collect data from medical records to see how tumor size changes over time and how long patients live after the procedure. The goal is to gather real-world information on the safety and effectiveness of these ablation techniques.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation or microwave ablation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could help doctors understand how well these ablation techniques shrink tumors and improve survival for people with pancreatic or other gastrointestinal lesions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove the treatment works. Results may be limited by the small number of participants (50) and the lack of a comparison group.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults ≥ 18 years of age. * Diagnosis of a pancreatic premalignant lesion or malignancy, and other gastrointestinal or hepatobiliary lesion for which EUS-guided ablation is planned as part of standard clinical care. * At least one clinically identified target lesion for which RFA or MWA is performed. Exclusion Criteria: * In the judgment of the treating clinician, inclusion in the registry would not be appropriate * The individual is expected to be unable to complete routine clinical follow-up.
