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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests whether a procedure called endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) can safely treat pancreatic lesions. The approach uses a special endoscope to deliver heat energy directly to the lesion. Researchers will enroll 60 people with pre-malignant or malignant pancreatic lesions to assess technical success and short-term complications.

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 (RFA) — a procedure that uses a special endoscope to deliver heat energy to pancreatic lesions
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a less invasive treatment option for pancreatic lesions, potentially reducing the need for surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early registry study (60 participants) focused on safety and technical success, not yet proving long-term benefit. Risks include pancreatitis, bleeding, and other complications.
