Active Comparator

Arm Label

22G ProCore biopsy needle

22G standard FNA needle

Arm Description

Using the 22G ProCore needle for sampling pancreatic mass lesions, the tissue obtained will be compared to the standard FNA needle.

Using the 22G standard fine needle aspiration needle (FNA) for sampling pancreatic mass lesions, the tissue obtained will be compared to the 22 G ProCore needle.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Compare the Median Number of Passes Required to Establish a Diagnosis

Secondary Outcome Measures

Diagnosis Achieved With the Needle
Technical Failure
Malfunction of the needle during endoscopic ultrasound-guided sampling of the pancreatic mass lesion before a diagnosis is achieved

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim of this research study is to identify the best needle for performing biopsy during EUS procedures. There are two types of needles for performing biopsy: A FNA needle that provides a small sample of tissue for analysis and a 22G ProCore needle that provides larger amount of tissue. It is not clear at this point which of the two needles is superior for performing biopsy. This study will attempt to identify the better needle by assessing the performance of both needles in a randomized fashion.
Detailed Description
In this randomized trial, the 22G standard fine needle aspiration needle was compared with the newly developed 22G ProCore needle for sampling pancreatic mass lesions during endoscopic ultrasound. Patients were randomized into the two needle groups and then various outcomes were compared between the two needle types, including the number of passes needed to establish a diagnosis, the ability to procure enough tissue sample to be able to make a diagnosis, the rates of needle failure and complication rates.
