The aim of this prospective study is to determine the staging accuracy of endobronchial ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration biopsy of mediastinal lymph nodes compared to the 'gold standard', mediastinoscopy, in patients with clinical Stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.
Primary Objective:
To determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of EBUS-FNA and mediastinoscopy in identifying mediastinal nodal metastases.
Secondary Objectives:
To estimate quantitative and qualitative differences regarding sampling of mediastinal nodes (number and location of nodes biopsied, number and location of positive nodes, extracapsular extension, ability to biopsy contralateral nodes).
To determine the frequency of change of planned therapeutic management resulting from outcome of EBUS-FNA and mediastinoscopy.
To determine procedure related complications. To perform analysis of cost between EBUS-FNA and mediastinoscopy.
Read the detailed description
The current procedure used to check for cancer cells in the lungs is a small operation at the base of the neck (mediastinoscopy) to get samples of the lymph glands. These samples are then looked at under the microscope to see if they contain cancer cells. A procedure has been developed that may allow doctors to get samples of lymph glands without having to perform an operation. This is called endobronchial ultrasound or "EBUS". The purpose of this study is to compare the 2 procedures.
If you agree to take part in this study, your insurance provider will be contacted. In order for you to take part in this study, your insurance provider must agree to pay for both the EBUS and mediastinoscopy procedures.
If your insurance provider agrees to pay for both procedures, you will be scheduled for the EBUS and a mediastinoscopy. The procedures will not be scheduled on the same day. You will first have the EBUS. You will receive general anesthesia and a small flexible scope will be passed down your windpipe. Samples of your lymph gland tissue will then be collected through a tiny needle that is passed through the scope. This will be performed as an out patient procedure.
If a tumor is found on the opposite side of your chest from another tumor by the EBUS, a mediastinoscopy will not be necessary.
If a tumor is not found on the opposite side of your chest from another tumor by the EBUS, you will then have a mediastinoscopy. This is also an outpatient procedure that will involve a small (2 cm) cut at the base of the neck, just above the breast bone. Your doctor will then pass a special scope with a camera into your chest (below the breast bone). This will allow your doctor to see the lymph glands around your windpipe and get samples of them. This will also be performed under general anesthesia and you will be able to leave the hospital shortly after the procedure.
Depending on whether or not the lymph glands have cancer in them, your doctor will then recommend the best therapy for the tumor to you.
This is an investigational study. The EBUS is FDA approved. The mediastinoscopy is considered standard of care. The comparison of the 2 procedures is investigational.
Up to 100 patients will be take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Endobronchial UltrasoundProcedure or surgery
Also called EBUS
A small flexible scope is passed down the windpipe. Samples of lymph gland tissue will be collected through a tiny needle that is passed through the scope.
MediastinoscopyProcedure or surgery
Performed if a tumor is not found on the opposite side of your chest from another tumor by the EBUS.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Endobronchial Ultrasound vs. Mediastinoscopy | Experimental | Endobronchial Ultrasound - A small flexible scope is passed down the windpipe. Samples of lymph gland tissue will be collected through a tiny needle that is passed through the scope.
Mediastinoscopy - Performed if a tumor is not found on the opposite side of your chest from another tumor by the EBUS. Receives: Procedure: Endobronchial Ultrasound; Procedure: Mediastinoscopy |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number Patients Restaged Upwards by Mediastinoscopy Following EBUS Evaluation
Outcome defined as how many patients EBUS stage N0/1 actually end up being N2/3, and how many EBUS stage N2 actually are N3 by mediastinoscopy. Study primarily interested in an upper limit on this proportion. Primary analysis is the upper one-sided 90% confidence limit.
Measured: 2 Years

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. 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.
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?
Number Patients Restaged Upwards by Mediastinoscopy Following EBUS Evaluation (time frame: 2 Years). 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 29 Mar 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
