Trial summary

The technique of macroscopic on-site evaluation (MOSE) has recently been advocated for estimating the adequacy of a core specimen for histological diagnosis during EUS-FNA using a 19-gauge needle. How it compares to the conventional technique of tissue acquisition during EUS-FNA is uncertain. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Macroscopic On-site Quality Evaluation of Biopsy Specimens to Improve the Diagnostic Accuracy During EUS-guided FNA Using a 19-gauge Needle for Solid Lesions: a Multicenter Prospective Randomized Controlled Study

The technique of macroscopic on-site evaluation (MOSE) has recently been advocated for estimating the adequacy of a core specimen for histological diagnosis during EUS-FNA using a 19-gauge needle. How it compares to the conventional technique of tissue acquisition during EUS-FNA is uncertain.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the quantity and quality of tissue, and the diagnostic ability of MOSE when compared with the conventional combined histologic-cytologic analysis.

What participants receive

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

  • Macroscopic on-site evaluationProcedure or surgery

    Macroscopic on-site evaluation: any aspirated material on a glass slide for inspection of the presence of a macroscopic visible core (MVC). Length of MVC will be measured to determine the adequacy of that puncture.

  • ControlOther

    Conventional EUS-FNA

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Macroscopic on-site evaluation in people with Solid Tumor, run by Chinese University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 6 Dec 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 Hong Kong. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 yield: Proportion of patients with adequate tissue for diagnosis obtained by EUS FNA (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 NCT03130140, 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 6 Dec 2018.
