To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Diagnosis / Prognosis - Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE)
Diagnosis / Prognosis - Histologic evaluation

Active comparator: EUS-FNB with ROSE - Intervention: Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) In the EUS-FNB with ROSE arm, the material obtained with the first pass will be processed for ROSE using the touch imprint technique. The biopsy specimen is carefully pressed onto the slide, allowing the superficial cells to adhere, and then gently lifted with forceps thereby creating a touch imprint of the specimen on the slide. In case of inadequate sample, a second pass will be done and the touch imprint technique will be repeated up to a maximum of 3 passes. In case of adequate ROSE at the first or the second pass, the additional passes will be performed as EUS-FNB and the material obtained placed directly into formalin or other fixative for subsequent histopathological evaluation.

Active comparator: EUS-FNB without ROSE - Intervention: histologic evaluation In the FNB alone arm, 3 needle passes will be performed and the samples obtained will be placed directly in a vial containing formalin (or other fixative according to the local individual protocol). Macroscopic on-site evaluation (MOSE) of acquired sample will be then performed by the endoscopist.


Diagnosis / Prognosis: Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE)
On-site evaluation of the acquired samples will be performed by pathologist

Diagnosis / Prognosis: Histologic evaluation
Samples collected in the EUS-FNB without ROSE will be processed as histologic samples
