About this study
Official title: Prospective Controlled Trial of Mediastinoscopy Compared With Endobronchial Ultrasound Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration for Assessment of the Mediastinum in Lung Cancer.
Proper staging of Lung cancer is of paramount concern when determining a treatment regime. Currently the assessment of surgical candidacy is performed with the staging process, mainly the mediastinoscopy. A mediastinoscopy has the ability to access samples of the paratracheal lymph node stations (Levels 2R, 2L, 3, 4R, 4L), as well as the anterior subcarinal lymph node station (Level 7). In comparison, the EBUS-TBNA technique is a real-time procedure that has the potential to access the same paratracheal and subcarinal lymph node stations associated with the mediastinoscopy, but also extending out to the hilar lymph nodes (Levels 10 and 11). Because of the possibility of extended sampling range and a reduction in procedural invasiveness, EBUS-TBNA may represent a more efficient patient centered alternative to mediastinoscopy in the staging of lung cancer patients. Additionally, patients who are have lymph nodes in the N2 region frequently undergo chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy prior to surgery. Assessment of the lymph nodes after chemo/radiation is done using CT scans, as re-mediastinoscopy is a technically difficult procedure. These patients may benefit from EBUS-TBNA.

A Phase 2 study testing Endobronchial Ultrasound Guided Transthoracic Needle Biopsy in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Sensitivity (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 May 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
