Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  EUS FNB using franseen needle   1. First an Endoscopic ultrasound will be performed using a curvilinear array echoendoscope and localize and characterize the lesion. 2. Biopsy with Franseen needle will be performed using a 22-gauge device. 3. At least 3 needle passes will be made into the target lesion before sending the specimen for formal histological analysis. Rapid on-site cytological evaluation (ROSE) will not be utilized. 4. FNB will be performed using the “slow-pull” technique for all 3 passes. 5. After each single pass, macroscopic on-site evaluation (MOSE) of the collected sample will be performed by the endosonographer and further passes will be performed if needed. The specimen will be deemed inadequate after 3 passes. 6. Specimens will be collected in 3 vials to allow for analysis according to needle pass; one for the first pass, one for the second pass, and one for the third and any eventual subsequent passes. 7. Cytopathologists and cytotechnicians will be blinded to the needle used. 8. Specimens categorized as “diagnostic” or “suspicious” will be both considered diagnostic for this study. 
Comparator Agent  EUS FNB using reverse bevel needle  1. First an Endoscopic ultrasound will be performed using a curvilinear array echoendoscope and localize and characterize the lesion. 2.

Brief Summary   Currently, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is considered a standard diagnostic tool for characterization of subepithelial lesions owing to its ability to determine the layer of origin, provide accurate measurements of lesion size, and enable tissue acquisition for diagnosis. However, tissue sampling through EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) proved to be significantly inferior in this setting as compared to bite-on-bite biopsy or other mucosal incision assisted biopsy (MIAB) techniques. EUS-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB), which typically uses a core biopsy needle and preserves the cellular architecture, has become an increasingly useful tool in the diagnostic algorithm of other abdominal lesions, such as pancreatic masses. A recent meta-analysis showed that EUS-FNB clearly outperformed EUS-FNA for tissue sampling of SELs, thus postulating a fundamental role of FNB in the diagnostic algorithm of these lesions. However, a direct comparison between different EUS-FNB devices for tissue sampling of SEL is still lacking. Hence, this study has been designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing two different EUS-FNB needles, Franseen tip design versus reverse bevel tip design, for diagnosis of subepithelial lesions.
