VHL pancreatic tumors under the microscope: new scan tested
NCT ID NCT04074135
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows people with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease who have pancreatic tumors or cysts. The goal is to learn how these growths change over time and to see if a special type of scan (68-Gallium DOTATATE PET/CT) can find them better. Participants will have regular check-ups and imaging tests, but no treatment is given. The study aims to improve future care for VHL patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
* INCLUSION CRITIERIA: 1. Participants who have been diagnosed with VHL using the following criteria: \-- Identification of a heterozygous germline pathogenic variant in VHL by molecular genetic testing. or \-- Clinical criteria 2. Participants with at least 1 pancreatic manifestation of VHL as documented on any non-invasive imaging study. These manifestations may include: * Pancreatic cyst(s) * Solid lesions suspicious for microcystic adenoma(s) * Solid enhancing lesions suspicious for PNET(s) * Any other solid lesion(s) of the pancreas 3.
