Pancreatic Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided RadioFrequency for Inoperable Carcinoma Treatment (PERFECT)
Pancreatic Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided RadioFrequency for Inoperable Carcinoma Treatment (PERFECT Study)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) affects survival in patients with inoperable pancreatic carcinoma. By using a prospective single-arm design with historical controls, this study aims to generate clinically relevant data while minimizing the number of patients exposed to experimental treatment. The findings may support future integration of EUS-RFA into standard care for this high-need patient population.

Eksperimentel: EUS-RFA plus standard oncological treatment
Participants receive endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) using a 19G RFA needle (EUSRA, STARMed, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea) connected to an RF generator, as a supplement to standard palliative oncological treatment. EUS-RFA is performed under deep sedation or general anesthesia and may be repeated at approximately 4-week intervals contingent on patient condition. All participants continue standard oncological follow-up, including systemic therapy and regular cross-sectional imaging, in parallel with the study intervention. |
A 19G RFA needle (EUSRA, STARMed, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea) is introduced through the working channel of an echoendoscope and advanced into the pancreatic tumor under real-time ultrasound guidance. The needle is connected to a dedicated RF generator delivering a current of 400-500 kHz, which induces coagulative necrosis in the targeted tissue. Treatment is continued until complete ablation is confirmed ultrasonographically, or until an impedance value of 800 Ω is reached, at which point the generator automatically terminates power output to limit further tissue damage. A cooling pump circulates chilled saline through the needle to reduce charring at the ablation site. The procedure is performed transgastrically or transduodenally under deep sedation or general anesthesia, and may involve one or more ablation cycles per session. Treatment may be repeated at approximately 4-week intervals, depending on radiological response and patient tolerance.
