Comparing of a 22G EUS Procore Fine Needle Biopsy Device and a 20G EUS Procore Fine Needle Biopsy Device

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Pancreas Neoplasms

• Registration Number: NCT03803930
• Lead Sponsor: Huazhong University of Science and Technology

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the diagnosis accuracy of 22G EUS Procore fine needle biopsy （FNB）device and 20G EUS Procore fine needle biopsy device for solid pancreatic lesions.

Detailed Description

This is a single-blind, randomized, controlled trial. One thousand two hundred and twenty four patients with solid pancreatic lesions referred for EUS guided fine needle biopsy will be randomly assigned to 4 arms. For arm A1 which will be used with 22G EUS Procore fine needle biopsy device, the pass sequence is slow pull(SP)-modified wet suction technique(MWST)-slow pull(SP)-modified wet suction technique(MWST). For arm A2 with 22G EUS Procore fine needle biopsy device, the pass sequence is MWST-SP-MWST-SP. For arm B1 with 20G EUS Procore fine needle biopsy device, the pass sequence is SP-MWST-SP-MWST. For arm B2 with 20G EUS Procore fine needle biopsy device, the pass sequence is MWST-SP-MWST-SP. All procedures will be performed by experienced echoendoscopists, and the patients and assessors (cytologists and pathologists) will be blinded during the entire study. The primary outcome measure is the diagnosis yield. Secondary outcome measures are specimen quality.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The diagnostic yields	up to 15 months	The investigators' primary outcome measure is to compare the diagnostic yields of 22G FNB and 20G FNB to the solid pancreatic lesions.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
the tissue integrity	up to 15 months	The investigators' secondary outcome measure is to assess the tissue size under a light microscope to compare the tissue obtained by 22G FNB and 20G FNB with Slow-pull or modified wet suction technique.
