Keywords

IPMN, SpyGlass, Pancreatoscopy, Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm, Intraoperative, Surgical

Brief summary

To demonstrate the added value of intraoperative pancreatoscopy in patients undergoing partial pancreatic resection for the treatment of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm (IPMN) as it pertains to detection of discontinuous (skip) lesions in the remnant pancreas; to generate a hypothesis for a subsequent randomized control trial.

Detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the added value of intraoperative pancreatoscopy in patients undergoing partial pancreatic resection for the treatment of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm (IPMN) as it pertains to detection of discontinuous (skip) lesions in the remnant pancreas. A secondary study objective is to generate a hypothesis for a subsequent randomized controlled trial comparing diagnostic accuracy of intra-operative pancreatoscopy and SpyBite™ with the diagnostic accuracy of intra-operative frozen section in patients undergoing resection

Interventions

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of detection of discontinuous (skip) lesions along the main pancreatic ductDuring index procedureRate of detection of discontinuous (skip) lesions along the main pancreatic duct of patients with IPMN using intraoperative pancreatoscopy based on visual impression of IPMN and/or pancreatoscopy guided biopsies

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Technical successDuring index procedureAbility to advance the pancreatoscope along the entire main pancreatic duct length or until clinically needed; to visualize the potential lesion(s); or to obtain a tissue sample with SpyBite where applicable
Adverse Event EvaluationFive yearsEvaluate all serious adverse events related to the intraoperative pancreatoscopy procedure and/or device
RecurrenceFive yearsRecurrence of IPMN within 5 years post-surgery evaluated with regular MRI or alternative radiological method
Comparison of visual and biopsy diagnosisDuring index procedureComparison based on exploration with Spy Glass of the resected specimen
Inter-observer correspondence of visual impression of IPMNDuring index procedureBased on intra-operative impression and on review of recorded pancreatoscopy images/videos
