Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
In this study, LINFU® will be evaluated in patients who have been identified with IPMN to determine if it can be used to help identify early, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and its noninvasive precursor lesions (dysplasia). The study will also help determine if LINFU® results in earlier intervention, treatment and improvement in patient outcomes.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (1)
- label
- Patients with a documented history of IPMN
- description
- Patients with a documented history of IPMN by any imaging method will undergo the LINFU® procedure.
- interventionNames
- Diagnostic Test: LINFU®
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- The number of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas or their precursor lesions, dysplasia, identified only with LINFU® will be compared to standard screening methods
- timeFrame
- 5 years
- description
- 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, CH-EUS, CEUS, MRI/MRCP, PET/CT, CT
Secondary outcomes (2)
- measure
- The change in size of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas and their noninvasive precursor lesions identified only with LINFU® will be determined over a 5 year period
