Trial Outcomes & Findings for In Vivo nCLE Study in the Pancreas With Endosonography of Cystic Tumors (NCT NCT01236300)

NCT ID: NCT01236300

Last Updated: 2016-06-08

Results Overview

Using the descriptive criteria of the nCLE images of mucinous vs. non mucinous cysts determined in stage 1, we assessed diagnostic parameters of needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy of for the detection of pancreatic cystic neoplasia in stage 2. For patients who underwent surgery, a gold standard diagnosis was obtained by histopathological diagnosis of the surgical specimen. The local pathologist reviewed the histology slides and selected key areas for high-resolution digital photography. Digital images for all surgical cases were sent to the central pathologist (J.H.) for review. In patients who did not undergo surgery, the final diagnosis was established by clinical diagnosis after a review by five investigators. These investigators independently reviewed the patients' clinical factors, cross-sectional image findings, EUS findings and images, and cyst fluid results, and follow-up imaging studies ranging from 10 to 22 months, if available.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: October 2011

Population: Among 66 patients, 26 patients who categorized in Stage 1 only used to develop terms for specific findings, 8 patients were excluded due to insufficient information available to make a consensus diagnosis, and 31 patients in Stage 2 were analyzed.
