About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of the Yield and Diagnostic Accuracy of Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Fine Needle Aspiration and Biopsy in the Absence of Rapid Onsite Evaluation

<Background/aims> Rapid onsite evaluation (ROSE) of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration and biopsy (EUS-FNAB) specimens by attending cytopathologists has been demonstrated to improve diagnostic yields of EUS-FNAB. The practice of ROSE, however, varies across EUS programs in Unites States, Europe and other areas of world. The investigators have a plan to perform prospective evaluation of the yield of EUS-FNAB in the absence of ROSE, in which the adequacy of specimens will be assessed by a single endosonographer.

<Methods> All EUS-FNAB procedures will be performed by an experienced endosonographer and the adequacy of specimens obtained during EUS-FNAB will be also assessed by a same endosonographer. A specimen will be considered adequate if there is an adequate number of representative cells from the lesion. Samples considered to be adequate will be then interpreted as malignancy, highly atypical suggestive of malignancy, atypical favor reactive change, or negative for malignancy. Performance characteristics of EUS-FNAB including sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy will be determined by comparing EUS-FNAB results with the final diagnoses of the lesions, based upon the surgical pathology or clinical follow-up of more than 6 months with repeat imagings.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Cancer, run by Kangbuk Samsung Hospital at 2 sites in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of EUS-FNA without ROSE (time frame: 7 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Feb 2016.
