Evaluating LINFU™: A Noninvasive Method for Collecting Pancreatic Cells for the Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer

The LINFU® (A Noninvasive Method for Increasing Exfoliation of Pancreatic Ductal Cells Into Pancreatic Fluid) U.S. Registry for the Detection of PanIn-2, PanIn-3, and Early, Asymptomatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC)

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Adenocyte has developed LINFU®, (Low Intensity Non-Focused Ultrasound excitation of the pancreas) as a method of identifying early, asymptomatic pancreatic cancer and its noninvasive precancerous lesions. The test involves ultrasound and an analysis of pancreatic juice. A neural network-based computer-assisted system may be utilized to enhance the analysis. Patients enrolled are being screened for pancreatic cancer because they have known risk factors (i.e. smoking, diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, family history of pancreatic cancer, or certain genetic syndromes).

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Other illness

  • Patients undergoing EUS or ERCP for a suspected bile duct cancer arising from the intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary epithelium
  • Patient with known allergy to the microbubble contrast agent or secretin

Age

  • Patient under the age of 18 and over the age 90

Other

  • Contraindications to LINFU/EUS/ERCP as determined by study investigators:
    • 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)
  • Pregnant females will be excluded
  • Patient that is unable to provide informed consent

Who the study is looking for

  • Both males and females will be enrolled and must be at least 18 years of age and 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 or signs or symptoms of PDAC
  • High risk asymptomatic patients being screened for PDAC
  • Patients with clinical signs or symptoms of PDAC including abnormal imaging and who are scheduled for EUS- FNA, MRI/MRCP, ERCP, or CT will be enrolled
  • Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved consent must be signed by patients to participate in this study.

Age in the registry: 18 years to 90 years · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
