NCT ID NCT06358001
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested the EchoTip AcuCore, a needle used during endoscopic ultrasound to collect tissue samples from the pancreas, liver, and other organs. 183 adults with conditions like cancer or chronic pancreatitis took part. The main goal was to see if the needle could get a good sample without needing a replacement. The study is already completed.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patient has been referred for an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) fine needle biopsy procedure * The EchoTip AcuCore device is the first EUS biopsy needle used in the procedure. Exclusion Criteria: * Patient's age is less than 18 years * Patient is unable or unwilling to sign and date the informed consent. If IRB approves a waiver of consent, this exclusion criterion is not applicable. * Patient is simultaneously participating in another pre-market investigational drug or pre-market investigational device study involving an EUS fine needle biopsy procedure and for which the patient has not completed the follow-up phase for the primary endpoint at least 30 days prior to enrollment in this study. * Inaccessible or unsuitable lesion (lesion not visualized or a large vessel, duct or primary mass interposition)
