About this study

To investigate the technical feasibility and diagnostic yield of new 20-gauge Procore needle for EUS-guided fine needle biopsy in pancreatic solid lesions.

Read the detailed description

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the fourth cause of death in the Western world. Surgery remains the only treatment offering an advantage in terms of overall survival (5-year survival range, 15-25%), but unfortunately only 10-20% of patients present resectable disease at the time of diagnosis.

Regarding the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, proper tool with high diagnostic yield is very important. The investigators investigated the technical feasibility and diagnostic yield of recent-developed new 20-gauge Procore needle for EUS-guided fine needle biopsy in pancreatic solid lesions.

The investigators applied the 20-gauge procore needle for EUS-guided fine needle biopsy in the diagnosis of pancreatic solid mass. A total of 30 patients will be enrolled for the present pilot study.

What participants receive

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

  • 20-gauge ProCore FNB needleDevice

    Also called 20G Echotip ProCore Fine Needle Biopsy (FNB) device(Echotip ProCore; Cook Endoscopy Inc, Limerick, Ireland)

    The investigators will prospectively collect data base including patients who underwent EUS-guided biopsy with the 20-gauge ProCore histology needle for the evaluation of Pancreatic solid mass.

    EUS procedures will be performed under sedation with linear echoendoscopes. Once the lesion will be penetrated, the stylet will be removed, and suction will be applied for 10 to 20 seconds by using a 10-ml syringe while moving the needle to and fro. All samples will processed at the pathology departments for histological analysis with documentation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Procurement of the histologic core

    The sample quality is evaluated as optimal for histological evaluation; the presence of optimal histological core including recognizable structures

    Measured: 7 days after the procedure

  2. Diagnostic accuracy

    [Standard diagnosis]

    • In operated patients; based on the surgical resection specimen
    • In non-operated patients; based on the conclusions of the diagnostic work-up and confirmed by a compatible clinical disease course

    Measured: 7 days after the procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Technical success

    Technical failure is defined as malfunction of the needle before the investigators reached a diagnosis

    Measured: 7 days after the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 20-gauge ProCore FNB needle in people with Pancreatic Cancer and Solid Pancreatic and Peripancreatic Lesion, 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 22 May 2018. 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?

Procurement of the histologic core (time frame: 7 days after the procedure). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03017599, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 22 May 2018.
