Trial summary

Purpose: Previous studies suggested an increased diagnostic yield for bronchoscopic (FB) transbronchial needle aspirate (TBNA) specimens from mediastinal lymph nodes when using rapid on-site evaluation by cytopathology (ROSE) but were limited by lack of randomization. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Prospective Trial of Rapid On-Site Evaluation of Transbronchial Needle Aspirate Specimens

Purpose: Previous studies suggested an increased diagnostic yield for bronchoscopic (FB) transbronchial needle aspirate (TBNA) specimens from mediastinal lymph nodes when using rapid on-site evaluation by cytopathology (ROSE) but were limited by lack of randomization. The investigators performed the first randomized-prospective trial comparing ROSE(R) to no on-site cytopathology assessment (NR).

Methods: All patients referred were eligible. 78 patients were randomized to R or NR groups. For R procedures, further specimens were deferred until results were available from the on-site cytopathologist. Diagnoses made by all procedures were recorded. The primary end-points were specimen adequacy and diagnostic yield.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ROSE in people with Bronchoscopy, run by MaineHealth.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 13 Mar 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

diagnostic yield. 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 13 Mar 2009.
