Trial Outcomes & Findings for Trial Comparing 19 and 25-gauge EUS-FNA Needles (NCT NCT01677312)

NCT ID: NCT01677312

Last Updated: 2020-03-17

Results Overview

To compare the median number of passes required to establish diagnosis using the 19G and 25G needles for FNA of solid pancreatic mass lesions. This will be measured by comparing the rates of diagnostic accuracy (%) between both needle types.

Measure
19G FNA Needle
n=36 Participants
Evaluate median number of passes to diagnosis (Diagnostic accuracy) and ability to procure histological samples using a 19G FNA needle when performing pancreatic biopsy. Pancreatic Biopsy: A FNA needle will be used to biopsy the pancreatic mass. The rates of diagnostic accuracy (%) will be assessed. Diagnostic accuracy is defined as the proportion of patients in whom a definitive diagnosis can be obtained within a predetermined number of FNA passes. Histological Samples: The proportion of patients (%) in whom a histological tissue can be obtained when performing a biopsy of the pancreas using a specific needle will be assessed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 hours

The percentage of cases in which needle dysfunction occurs will be compared between the 19G and 25G needle types. Needle dysfunction will be defined as the need to use more than one FNA needle per lesion in an individual patient.
