The LINFU® U.S. Registry for the in the General Population Without Risk Factors

Adenocyte has developed a proprietary pancreatic cancer detection method, LINFU®, (Low Intensity Non-Focused Ultrasound excitation of the pancreas) to increase the sensitivity of pancreatic juice cytology. LINFU® consists of analysis of pancreatic fluid collected with the help of low intensity non-focused ultrasound excitation of the pancreas. A contrast agent will be used to create bubbles and possibly increase the number of pancreatic cell we collect for the study. Secretin is also used to increase the number of pancreatic cell excretion to maximize the number of cells collected. A neural network-based computer-assisted system may be used to enhance the analysis of specimens.

In this registry, LINFU® will be studied in patients with no risk factors and who exhibit no signs or symptoms of disease. In this registry, a standardized Case Report Form will be completed for every subject enrolled. Information obtained at baseline will include patient history, clinical and demographic information. The results of all diagnostic tests, surgeries, and biopsies performed after the LINFU® technique for a period of 5 years will be recorded and maintained as clinical registry data. This includes testing and procedures received since enrollment including endoscopic ultrasound-fine-needle aspiration (EUS- FNA),magnetic resonance imaging / magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), computed tomography (CT), contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), treatments performed, pathology results, and pancreatic disease history since enrollment.

The registry case report form is the primary data collection instrument for the registry. All data requested on the form must be recorded and these forms will be monitored carefully by the sponsor to ensure they are completely filled out properly.
