Registry Trial for Clinical Evaluation of nCLE in Masses and Cystic Tumors of the Pancreas, Lymph Nodes, Submucosal Lesions of the GI Tract


The principle of needle-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (nCLE) is to image organs within
or adjacent to the GI or respiratory tracts by means of a miniprobe inserted through an
endoscopic needle. The fundamental technology, as well as the principle of operation of
nCLE, is substantially similar to pCLE.

endoscopic fine needles are used during EUS-FNA procedures to puncture solid organs such as
the pancreas, in order to get tissue or fluid for diagnostic purposes. There are different
calibers of endoscopic nee-dles used. The most commonly used calibers for EUS-FNA procedures
are 22G, 19G, and 25G needles. The nCLE Confocal Miniprobe is compatible with the 19G-type
needle only. It is expected to help to differentiate the different types of lesions,
especially for cysts, leading to better patient management. Microscopic tissue information
in real-time in vivo during an EUS-FNA procedure may allow better differentiation between
mucinous and non-mucinous cysts for instance.


Inclusion Criteria:



- - Male or female > 18 years of age

- Patient indicated for a first EUS-FNA for masses and cystic tumors of the pancreas,
lymph nodes, submu-cosal lesions of the GI tract

- Patients who had previous non-diagnostic tissue sampling taken during a previous
EUS-FNA for masses and cystic tumors of the pancreas, lymph nodes, submucosal lesions
of the GI tract

- Patient with known masses and cystic tumors of the pancreas, lymph nodes, submucosal
lesions of the GI tract

- For pancreatic cyst patient, suffering chronic calcifying pancreatitis

- For pancreatic mass patient, any size or location

- For lymph node patient, any node reachable with EUS-FNA

- Willing and able to comply with study procedures and provide written informed consent
to participate in the registry

Exclusion Criteria:

- - Subjects for whom EUS-FNA procedures are contraindicated

- Known allergy to fluorescein contrast

- If female, breast feeding or pregnant based on a positive hCG serum or an in vitro
diagnostic test result

- Subject with multiple cysts

- Cysts <20 mm in diameter

- Previous EUS-FNA procedure performed less than 3 months ago

- If several pancreatic masses, only one will be imaged during the nCLE procedure

- Lymph nodes <5 mm in diameter

- If several suspicious lymph nodes, only the most suspect will be imaged during the
nCLE proce-dure
