About this study

Official title: EUS-guided FNA in the Study of the Adrenal Gland: National Retrospective Multicenter Study

To analyze the diagnostic performance, safety, impact on clinical management, predictors of malignancy and cyto-pathological correlation of the EUS-FNA with AG. National multicenter retrospective study. Mailing-SEED partners. Participation: 17 Spanish centers. Inclusion period: April / 2003 to April / 2016 Inclusion criteria: All AG (Left / Right) punctured by EUS.

A review of 205 EUS-FNA of AG in 200 patients is included.

Read the detailed description

INTRODUCTION: The EUS has proven useful in the study and evaluation of the adrenal gland (AG) by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA), in both the left and right glands.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the diagnostic performance, safety, impact on clinical management, predictors of malignancy and cyto-pathological correlation of the EUS-FNA with AG.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: National multicenter retrospective study. Mailing-SEED partners. Participation: 17 Spanish centers. Inclusion period: April / 2003 to April / 2016 Inclusion criteria: All AG (Left / Right) punctured by EUS. Variables reviewed: Demographic characteristics, clinical, extension studies, USE and pathological data. Comparison between variables; and estimation of multivariate logistic model for cytology, mortality and therapeutic change.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adrenal Gland Disease and Adrenal Tumor, run by Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge.

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 0 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 31 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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: retrospective analysis form 2003 to 2016). 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 31 Oct 2017.
