About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of the Diagnostic Efficacy of a EUS Guided FNB Needle (AQUIRE®) in Tumors of the Pancreas, Submucosal Tumors and Lymph Node Disease of the Upper GI Tract

The present study investigates the efficacy of a new Endoultrasound guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) device (AquireTM Boston Scientific= AQUIRE®) for obtaining histological tissue cylinders in the diagnosis of solid pancreatic tumors, submucosal tumors of the upper gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, duodenum) and lymph node disease..

Read the detailed description

The AquireTM FNB device uses a triple point tip that is designed to maximize tissue capture and minimize fragmentation.

The efficiency of the 22 Gauge needle is evaluated in a prospective single arm study. The material obtained will be collected for formalin fixation and analyzed by a pathologist blinded for the type of needle device.

Being tested
Endoultrasound guided FNB
Keywords
Endosonography, fine needle biopsy

What is being measured

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

  1. tissue yield

    The primary outcome of the present study is to analyze the percentage in which a representative histological sample can be obtained by EUS-FNB (quality score 3 as defined by Payne et al.).

    Measured: 12 month after FNB

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tumors of the Pancreas and Submucosal Tumor of Gastrointestinal Tract (Disorder), run by Philipps University Marburg at 1 site in Germany.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 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 Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ulrike Denzer, PD. Dr. med. (004964215866460, uwdenzer@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

tissue yield (time frame: 12 month after FNB). 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 9 Aug 2018.
