International multicentric studies

• EUS-guided gallbladder drainage with the AXIOS stent in patients with acute cholecystitis unsuitable for surgery: a feasibility study 2013-2014.
• Needle Based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) on Pancreatic Masses 2012-2013 (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01734967). The aim of the proposed study is to describe confocal imaging criteria for pancreatic masses, lymph nodes or liver metastases identified during EUS procedures performed for pancreatic cancer staging (EUS-nCLE), while evaluating also the feasibility and safety of nCLE examinations based on i.v. fluorescein.
• Characterization of Crohn's disease by CLE and the relation to disease activity 2012-2014 (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT01738529). Patients with colonic or ileal Crohn´s disease, where an indication for treatment and colonoscopy exists are examined with endoscope based CLE. Contrast Enhanced Harmonic Endoscopic Ultrasound (CEH-EUS) in Focal Pancreatic Masses: 2011-2012 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01315548)
• Controlled Trial Comparing the Performance of 22 Gauge Versus 25 Gauge EUS-FNA Needles (FNA-22G-25G) – international study (National Institute of Health ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01016288), coordinated by Department of Surgical Gastroenterology, Gentofte Hospital, University of Copenhagen – Subinvestigator [2009-2012]
