Trial summary

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is an indispensable tool for tissue acquisition for pancreatic lesions. However, FNA alone has several limitations including inadequate acquisition of cells, and unable to provide core tissue for further histological analysis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Fine Needle Biopsy With Macroscopic On-Site Evaluation vs Fine Needle Aspiration With Rapid On-Site Evaluation for Solid Pancreatic Lesions: A Multi-centered Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial (MORE Trial)

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is an indispensable tool for tissue acquisition for pancreatic lesions. However, FNA alone has several limitations including inadequate acquisition of cells, and unable to provide core tissue for further histological analysis. The use of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) by cytopathologist has the biggest impact on improving diagnostic accuracy and is regarded as the gold standard for EUS-FNA. Unfortunately, it is not widely available due to limited resources.

In order to overcome these limitations, new fine needle biopsy (FNB) needles have been recently developed to collect not only cells but also the entire core tissue for histological analysis. Having core biopsy with preserved tissue provides additional advantages of allowing molecular analysis, which are of emerging importance in cancer management. Early results comparing FNB with FNA showed the superiority of FNB over FNA in the absence of ROSE. Data comparing FNB and FNA with ROSE are limited. In order to study to true merits of FNB over FNA, comparison with the most optimal method is necessary.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MOSE and ROSE in people with Pancreatic Neoplasms, 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 13 Feb 2023. 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. 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 Charing CHONG (3505 3933, chongcn@surgery.cuhk.edu.hk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic yield (time frame: 1 month 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 13 Feb 2023.
