Trial summary

Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is a rare type of pancreatic neoplasm. A cytopathological diagnosis is often mandatory before performing surgical resection. Endo-ultrasonography with fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) improve significantly pre-operative SPN diagnosis accuracy. Read more about this study

Study population: This European multicenter study was conducted in 22 digestive units from the GRAPHE (French taskforce of gastroenterologists working on digestive endoscopy: Groupe de Réflexion et d'Action des Praticiens Hépatogastroentérologues en Endoscopie Digestive), and retrospectively included all patients who have undergone complete resection of their pancreatic SPN from 2000 to 2018. The use of the diagnostic filing software of each unit of cytopathology, endoscopy and digestive surgery allowed the completeness of the prospection in each center. The data were retrospectively collected by extraction from our medical patient management softwares.

Who may be able to join

  • All consecutive patients who have undergone complete resection of their pancreatic SPN were included. Inclusion criterion was the definite diagnosis of SPN on the pathological examination of the complete tumor resection specimen.

Who cannot join

  • No

About this study

Official title: Safety of EUS-FNA for Pancreatic Solid-Pseudopapillary Neoplasm (SPN) Before Surgical Resection: An European Multicenter Registry-based Study on 149 Patients

Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is a rare type of pancreatic neoplasm. A cytopathological diagnosis is often mandatory before performing surgical resection. Endo-ultrasonography with fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) improve significantly pre-operative SPN diagnosis accuracy. So far, few EUS-FNA performed for SPN were published, and safety of EUS-FNA for SPN has never been investigated. This retrospective European multicenter case-control study compared the recurrence rate in patients with and without EUS-FNA performed before primary tumor resection.

Read the detailed description

This European multicenter study was conducted in 22 digestive units from the GRAPHE (French taskforce of gastroenterologists working on digestive endoscopy: Groupe de Réflexion et d'Action des Praticiens Hépatogastroentérologues en Endoscopie Digestive), and retrospectively included all patients who have undergone complete resection of their pancreatic SPN from 2000 to 2018. The use of the diagnostic filing software of each unit of cytopathology, endoscopy and digestive surgery allowed the completeness of the prospection in each center.

The data were retrospectively collected by extraction from our medical patient management softwares.

The following data were collected: age, gender, symptoms, tumor size, tumor location (uncus, head, isthmus, body or tail of the pancreas), presence of tumor calcifications, performing of a EUS-FNA for diagnostic purposes before surgical resection, follow-up, and diagnosis of recurrence of the SPN during follow-up. Other data were collected in case of EUS-FNA: path of the needle puncture (transgastric or transduodenal), diameter of the needle, number of passes, immediate EUS-FNA morbidity, and EUS-FNA diagnosis of SPN (certain, probable, false or absent).

Patients with and without initial EUS-FNA were compared and the main criteria of this study was determinate: the presence of recurrence of the SPN during follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Solid Pseudopapillary Tumor, run by Société Française d'Endoscopie Digestive.

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 21 Nov 2018. 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?

Recurrence after primary tumor resection (time frame: through study completion, an average of 43 months). 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 21 Nov 2018.
