What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial is testing a new, noninvasive method called LINFU® that uses low-intensity ultrasound to stimulate the pancreas, helping to collect pancreatic juice for analysis. The goal is to see if this approach can detect early, asymptomatic pancreatic cancer and precancerous lesions better than current screening methods. The study enrolls 1,000 people at high risk for pancreatic cancer due to factors like smoking, diabetes, or family history. If it works, this could lead to a safer, more effective way to catch this deadly disease early.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
LINFU® (Low Intensity Non-Focused Ultrasound excitation of the pancreas) followed by analysis of pancreatic juice
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a noninvasive screening tool that catches pancreatic cancer early, when it's more treatable, potentially saving lives.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage registry study, so the method may not prove more effective than current screening tests. It also requires analysis of pancreatic juice, which may be complex and not widely available.

Inclusion Criteria * Both males and females will be enrolled and must be at least 18 years of age under age of 90 * Patients who, in the opinion of the Investigator, are at elevated risk of developing a pancreatic malignancy because they have known risk factors for PDAC. * High risk asymptomatic patients being screened for PDAC. * All patients must undergo contemporaneous imaging (within 90 days of LINFU®) with one or more of the following: EUS± FNA, MRI/MRCP, ERCP, CT or CEUS. * Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved consent must be signed by patients to participate in this study. Exclusion Criteria: * Patient under the age of 18 and over the age 90 * Contraindications to LINFU®/EUS/ERCP as determined by study investigators including: patient with uncorrectable coagulopathy; patient that cannot undergo anesthesia due to cardiopulmonary contraindication as deemed by the anesthesiologist; unstable medically (cardiopulmonary, neurologic, or cardiovascular status) * Patients with clinical signs or symptoms of PDAC * Patients undergoing EUS or ERCP for a suspected bile duct cancer arising from the intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary epithelium * Patients with documented intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas (IPMN) * Pregnant females will be excluded * Patient that is unable to provide informed consent * Patient with known allergy to the microbubble contrast agent or secretin
