New biopsy device may improve pancreatic cancer diagnosis
NCT ID NCT07240818
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two needle devices used to take tissue samples from pancreatic lesions during an endoscopic ultrasound. The goal is to see which device provides better quality tissue for diagnosis with fewer needle sticks. About 30 adults with pancreatic solid lesions larger than 2.5 cm will participate.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who require EUS and tissue sampling of pancreatic solid lesions (size\> 2.5 cm) 2. Patients who can give consent Exclusion Criteria: 1. patients without pancreatic lesions 2. Pregnant females 3. Hematologic and Coagulation disorders (platelets \< 50,000/mm3, INR \> 2, ANC \<1000) 4.
