Evaluating LINFU™: A Noninvasive Method for Collecting Pancreatic Cells for the Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
LINFU™ Technique: Non-focused ultrasound excitation of the pancreas with IV Lumason and IV secretin injected during the ultrasound procedure.
Study summary
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).
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- The number of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas and their noninvasive precursor — 5 years
The total number of asymptomatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas and their noninvasive precursor lesions identified with LINFU® by analysis of pancreatic fluid will be compared to the number of these lesions identified with current screening tests, including EUS- FNA, MRI/MRCP, ERCP, CT and CEUS.
