What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • inReach bronchoscopy planning softwareDevice

    inReach planning software creates three-dimensional lung CT reconstruction, enabling rapid virtual endoscopic depiction of the airways that allows to plan bronchoscopy virtually.

  • Standard lung CT viewerDevice

    CT viewer, used for standard bronchoscopy

Study groups in NCT00817167
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
inReach (A)ExperimentalBronchoscopy procedure is planned using inReach planning software

Control (B)Active comparatorBronchoscopy procedure is planned using standard CT viewer software
Receives: Device: Standard lung CT viewer

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Bronchoscopy Diagnostic Yield, compared between two study groups and calculated as percentage of true diagnoses from total number of bronchoscopy procedures.

    Measured: Until the definitive diagnosis is obtained

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Bronchoscopy Safety Profile, compared between two groups and calculated as percentage of bronchoscopy-related adverse events.

    Measured: At discharge from bronchoscopy unit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing inReach bronchoscopy planning software and Standard lung CT viewer in people with Lung Disease, run by superDimension Ltd. at 1 site in Israel.

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 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Bronchoscopy Diagnostic Yield, compared between two study groups and calculated as percentage of true diagnoses from total number of bronchoscopy procedures. (time frame: Until the definitive diagnosis is obtained). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00817167, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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.
