Filter by:The goal of this muticentre randomized controlled trial is to compare endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) with surgery for treatment of pancreatic insulinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) What is the safest treatment? 2) Is efficacy comparable? Patients will be randomized to undergo EUS-RFA or surgical resection. Researchers will compare the rate of adverse events and the clinical efficacy after the two treatments to see if EUS-RFA result safer and effective compare with surgery.
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy and economic cost of enucleation after placement of pancreatic duct stents before surgery with that of direct enucleation alone, and to evaluate its safety and feasibility.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R)-targeted PET imaging with 68Ga-labeled compounds is able to provide superior sensitivity and specificity to detect insulinoma, like the widely studied [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-exendin-4. This pilot study was prospectively designed to evaluate the early dynamic distribution of [68Ga]Ga-HBED-CC-exendin-4, a novel radiopharmaceutical targeting GLP-1R, which was compared with [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-exendin-4 in the same group of insulinoma patients.
The small insulinoma can not be detected by the CT or MRI. We use 68Ga-NOTA-exendin-4 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to detect the insulinoma for the patient diagnosed with endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia. And the diagnostic value will be performed. A single dose of 37-111 Mega-Becquerel (MBq) 68Ga-NOTA-exendin-4 will be injected intravenously. Visual and semiquantitative method will be used to assess the PET/CT images.
This study is to assess if personalized peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTATOC results in fewer adverse events than standard PRRT. Subjects will be randomized to either receive personalized or standard PRRT. Personalized PRRT will be determined based on dosimetry calculations after the first cycle. In addition comparisons, will be made with progression-free survival, serial CT imaging, ctDNA, and quality of life questionnaires. Subjects will be followed for 5 years or until they have progression and are switched to another systemic treatment (not including treatment with somatostatin analogues).

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is a kind of G protein coupled receptor which regulate the insulin secretion and serves as potential target in the diagnosis of functional pancreas neuroendocrine tumor. The aim of this study was the clinical evaluation of a potential GLP-1R targeted tracer 68Ga-NOTA-MAL-Cys39-exendin-4 for the detection of insulinoma.
This will be a prospective single-arm before-and-after clinical trial in which raw corn starch (RCS) will be first applied on patients with unoperated insulinoma. Nutritional intervention with supplementation of RCS will be initiated in 20 patients with suspected insulinoma to improve their hypoglycemia before the surgery. Duration of nutritional intervention, fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, weight change, BMI and other metabolic indices will be recorded and compared before and after the intervention.
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are generally slow growing, but some can be aggressive and resistant to treatment. Compared to healthy cells, the surface of these tumor cells has a greater number of special molecules called somatostatin receptors (SSTR). Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy and conventional imaging are used to detect NETs. This study proposes 68Gallium(68Ga)-DOTATOC positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is superior to current imaging techniques. The goal is to evaluate the safety and sensitivity of 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT at detecting NETs and other tumors with over-expression of somatostatin receptors.
