Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Impact Of Tissue Micro-RNA Profile From EUS-FNA In Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (NCT NCT04765410)

NCT ID: NCT04765410

Last Updated: 2026-04-16

Results Overview

Survival will be assessed though different consultations (in person or by telemedicine). Patient follow-up was conducted over 2 years and 6 months, consisting of periodic telephone visits at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 2½ years (until the end of the study), respectively, collecting the following data: history and ECOG score.

Patients with solid pancreatic masses EUS FNA (endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration): Patients with solid pancreatic masses fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria will receive EUS FNA (endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration). The study protocol aimed at enrolling and evaluating the 57 patients in the study and performing the history and objective examination. Of the 57 patients enrolled in the study: 45 were confirmed with PDAC at histopathology examination, 5 patients were diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis (this being the comparative group in the second study); 1 patient was diagnosed with primary pancreatic lymphoma, 6 patients were not confirmed with PDAC at histopathology analysis. Of the 45 patients confirmed with PDAC, 2 patients were excluded as the biopsy sample was not sufficient to perform miRNA processing. This left 43 patients from which 2 patients were excluded after PCA analysis from SPSS statistical processing software "outlier detection", leaving the study group with 41 patients.
