About this study

To increase the diagnostic accuracy of subepithelial tumors, larger tissue samples are required. It is difficult to obtain adequate tissue samples. There were several biopsy methods to obtain tissue samples. Pathological examination would include mitosis counts, particularly in hypoechoic subepithelial tumors located in the 4th layer of the gastric wall, where differentiation between leiomyoma of benign nature and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) of malignant potential is essential.

So We hypothesize that unroofing biopsy is an more appropriate method than EUS-FNB(endoscopic ultrasonography guided fine needle biopsy). We will compare diagnostic accuracy and complications between EUS-FNB \& unroofing biopsy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • unroofing biopsyProcedure or surgery

    Unroofing biopsy menas that the mucosa is resected with endoscopic mucosal resection and biopsies are done repeatedly for the exposed tumor with a conventional forcep. It will be performed for the patients with a suspected upper gastrointestinal subepithelial tumor after EUS-FNB. After unroofing biopsy, the final histopathological result will be used to determine diagnostic accuracy.

  • EUS-FNB(endoscopic ultrasonography guided fine needle biopsy)Procedure or surgery

    EUS-FNB will be performed for the same patients who have a gastrointestinal subepithelail tumor before unroofing biopsy. EUS-FNB is called when the tissue is obtained by puncutre of a tumor, the tissue whithin the lumen of the fine needle being detached by rotatin, and the needle withdrawn. The pathological result will be also used to compare diagnostic accuracy between EUS-FNB \& unroofing biopsy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. diagnostic accuracy

    We will compare between diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNB \& unroofing biopsy using final histopathological result.

    Measured: within 7 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. number of complications of procedure

    Measured: within 7 days

  2. accuracy of malignant potential on contrast enhanced EUS

    Measured: within 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing unroofing biopsy and EUS-FNB(endoscopic ultrasonography guided fine needle biopsy) in people with Upper Gastrointestinal Subepithelial Tumors, run by Yonsei University at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 29 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

diagnostic accuracy (time frame: within 7 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02646241, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Sep 2020.
