Trial summary

In order for the diagnosis of digestive system tumors and their appropriate treatment afterward, the type of these tumors should be determined by the pathologist. Pathology doctors need sufficient tissue (a small part of the organ thought to be diseased) to make a diagnosis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Macroscopic on Cite Evaluation of EUS-FNA Specimen of Gastrointestinal Tumours With Everyday Needle (22g EUS FNA Needle)

In order for the diagnosis of digestive system tumors and their appropriate treatment afterward, the type of these tumors should be determined by the pathologist. Pathology doctors need sufficient tissue (a small part of the organ thought to be diseased) to make a diagnosis. Tissue samples were taken from the patients by biopsy procedure. It is examined with microscopes by performing various staining and occasionally it is reported that sufficient tissue cannot be provided to make a diagnosis. In this case, patients may be subjected to repeated biopsy procedures. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the biopsy material obtained by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is sufficient for the diagnosis of the pathology physician with the naked eye. Researchers will try to determine to what extent the physician performing the biopsy procedure can predict whether the tissue he has obtained is sufficient for the pathologist. In this way, researchers think that fewer biopsy repetitions will be needed in the future.

Read the detailed description

This study was designed to improve the acquisition of sufficient tissue (EUS-FNA) with endosonography-assisted fine needle aspiration biopsy, which has been approved and used worldwide for the diagnosis of digestive system diseases. The procedure to be applied in the study is to determine the visible tissue fragments in the sample to be taken after the standard EUS-FNA procedure and to compare it with the diagnosis made by the pathologist. Patients with a tumor detected in the digestive system and referred to the investigation unit for tissue diagnosis will be included in this study. The data obtained in the study will be collected prospectively and will be analyzed retrospectively.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of a macroscopically visible fragments in the 22g EUS-FNA needle specimens with final histologic diagnosis

    Macroscopic appearance of the tissue fragments obtained by 22G EUS-FNA needle will be assessed by the endoscopist immediately in the endoscopy room. Endoscopits will decide the tissue acquisition is adequate. The diagnostic yield of the specimens determined by a pathologist will be compared to the endoscopist's first decision according to the macroscopic appearance.

    Measured: 1-2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Area Under the size of the macroscopically visible core size versus histologic core size

    Macroscopically visiable core size obtained via 22G EUS -FNA needle and pathologic size of cores will be compared by using

    Measured: 1-2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Endosonographic fine needle aspiration biopsy in people with GI Cancer, run by Kocaeli University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 Mar 2021. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 Hasan Yılmaz (+905058774821, gyrusus@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation of a macroscopically visible fragments in the 22g EUS-FNA needle specimens with final histologic diagnosis (time frame: 1-2 weeks). 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 1 Mar 2021.
