Registry to Evaluate Effectiveness and Safety of the Nanoknife System for the Ablation of Stage 3 Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

About this Study

This multicenter, observational study will evaluate the
effectiveness and safety of the NanoKnife System when used
for the ablation of Stage 3 pancreatic adenocarcinoma (Stage
3 PC). Eligible patients will be recruited over a 36-month
period and participating institutions will enroll and provide
data on consecutive patients that meet inclusion and
exclusion criteria. Each patient will be followed up for the
duration of the study or until death. The study will include
two (2) cohorts: patients who received standard of care (SOC)
and received irreversible electroporation (IRE) [IRE cohort],
and patients who were treated with SOC and did not receive
IRE [SOC cohort].
