Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All consecutive patients ≥18 who were referred for EUS-FNB for solid pancreatic or peripancreatic mass were included. The use of EUS-FNB needle was determined during EUS if the examination confirmed the presence of a pancreatic or peri-pancreatic non-hyper-vascular mass (on Doppler examination). According to the period of admission, the 20-gauge Procore® (Wilson Cook Medical, Winston-Salem, NC) and 22-gauge Acquire® needles (Boston Scientific Natick, MA) were alternatively available depending on the order (made in batches of 5 units). So, patients were included either in the 20-gauge Procore® group or the 22-gauge Acquire® group. Patients could be switched via a crossover procedure to a second EUS-FNB with the competitive needle if the first one failed to give histologic mass characterization: failure was recorded to the first needle group, and the second EUS-FNB performed with the alternate needle was recorded in the other group.

Who may be able to join

  • All consecutive patients ≥18 who were referred for EUS-FNB for solid pancreatic or peripancreatic mass were included

Who cannot join

  • non-accessible pancreatic mass because of history of Billroth II or Roux-en-Y reconstruction
  • coagulation disorders (such as partial thromboplastin time >42 seconds, prothrombin time [Quick value] <50%, platelet count <50 000/mm³), treatment with clopidogrel, pregnancy.
  • patients <18 years of age

About this study

Official title: Comparison of the 20-gauge Procore® and 22-gauge Acquire® Needles for Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Fine Needle Biopsy (EUS-FNB) of Solid Pancreatic or Peripancreatic Masses: an Observational Study.

This observational study compared quality of histological sampling of pancreatic EUS-FNB with the 20-gauge Procore® and 22-gauge Acquire® needles. In total, 68 patients were recruited. Histological diagnosis was achieved and a histological core biopsy was obtained in 82% of patients (28/34) in the 20-gauge Procore® group and 97% of patients (33/34) in the 22-gauge Acquire® group (P=0.1). Core biopsy specimens obtained were significantly longer with the 22-gauge Acquire® needle with a mean cumulative length of tissue core biopsies per needle pass of 4,33±3,46mm vs. 7,9±4,35mm for the 20-gauge Procore® (P<0,01). Reproducibility of this simple histological criterion was validated in intra and inter-observer.

Read the detailed description

Between March and December 2017, 68 EUS-FNB were consecutively performed in our unit for a pancreatic or peripancreatic mass. The choice of the needle depended upon the availability at the time of admission: 34 punctures were performed with a 20-gauge Procore®, and 34 with a 22-gauge Acquire®. Histological material was studied in a blinded manner with respect to the needle, and cumulative length of tissue core biopsies per needle pass was determined. Intra and inter-observer variability of this criterion was then evaluated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Tumor and Puncture, run by Société Française d'Endoscopie Digestive at 1 site in France.

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 3 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 23 Feb 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 France. 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?

pancreatic mass anatomopathological characterization (time frame: in the 7 days after procedure). 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 23 Feb 2018.
