Intra-ductal Confocal Endomicroscopy for Characterization of Pancreas and Bile Duct Tumor (EMID)

March 19, 2013 updated by: Institut Paoli-Calmettes
The endomicroscopy is an adaptation of traditional optical microscopy in the digestive endoscopy. Furthermore, with the integration of a miniaturized laser confocal microscope to a videoendoscope, it's possible to study the digestive mucous by "optical biopsy". This monocentric, non randomized and prospective study uses the Intra-ductal confocal endomicroscopy for the characterization of pancreas and bile duct tumor.

Detailed Description

Primary objective:

Obtain a tissular characterization of a biliary or pancreatic stenosis with a confocal microscope which is in direct contact of the stenosis during the Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP).

Secondary objectives:

  • Compare the result of this "optical biopsy" to a conventional biopsy.
  • Tolerance

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: endomicroscopy
Utilisation of an intra-ductal confocal endomicroscopy during the endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography
Procedure: Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP)
Utilisation of the Intra-ductal confocal endomicroscopy to obtain any exploitable image for the anatomopathology.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
The principal outcome is the percentage of successful in vivo examination according to the localisation of the stenosis. A successful examination is defined by the obtention of exploitable image for the anatomopathology.
Time Frame: 2 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Study of the concordance between optical and histological biopsy
Time Frame: 2 days
2 days
Frequency and grade of adverse effects induced by the confocal endomicroscopy
Time Frame: 2 days
