About this study

Official title: Is One Pass Enough for the Diagnosis of the Pancreatic Masses During EUS-FNB? A Prospective Study

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) with tissue acquisition (TA) is nowadays a well-established technique for the sampling of solid lesions pancreatic and non-pancreatic lesions. Major complications after EUS-TA of solid masses are rare. Several studies have been published in the last recent years aimed to identify factors related to a non-diagnostic or false-negative EUS-FNA, and to improve its diagnostic yield using different needle gauge and different tissue acquisition technique as fanning technique, slow-pull stylet extraction or suction technique.

To overcome this problem, new EUS-TA needles entered in clinical practice to obtain histological specimens increasing the accuracy of the EUS-TA. Preliminary result with these new needles, called EUS-fine needle biopsy (FNB) are promising with an accuracy rate more than 90%.

Recently, Leungh et al. conducted an observational study to evaluate the role of macroscopic on-site evaluation (MOSE) on the diagnostic accuracy of 22G Franseen-tip needle. The study demonstrated that MOSE using the 22G Franseen tip needle could limit needle passes by accurately estimating histologic core fragments. However, the study limitations such as the small sample size and the lack of control group, hampered the value of the conclusions.

So, nowadays, no definitive data regarding how many needle passes need to be performed with FNB needles, neither regarding the use of MOSE to evaluate the specimens obtained with FNB needle. The MOSE technique of the acquired tissue was proposed for the first time by Iwashita et al, using a 19G needle and is nowadays a well-established technique with high accuracy in the final diagnosis.

The aim of our study is to evaluate if during EUS-FNB of pancreatic masses only one needle pass with MOSE evaluation can be satisfactory to obtain a correct diagnosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. The diagnostic accuracy of one pass EUS-FNB.

    EUS-FNB only one needle pass inside the target lesions with MOSE evaluation can be satisfactory to obtain a correct diagnosis.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Cancer, run by Istituto Clinico Humanitas Mater Domini at 1 site in Italy.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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 29 Jun 2022. 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 Italy. 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?

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?

The diagnostic accuracy of one pass EUS-FNB. (time frame: 24 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 29 Jun 2022.
