Trial summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate if Electromagnetic navigation (ENB) in combination with rapid on site evaluation (ROSE) can improve diagnostic accuracy in those patients who fail to be diagnosed with conventional fluoroscopic assisted bronchoscopy (FBS) in combination with ROSE.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with peripheral lesion suitable for surgery who need preoperative diagnosis will be studied, at first, with conventional bronchoscopy under fluoroscopic guidance. In case of non diagnostic procedure they will be candidates for ENB. All the patients will be candidates to surgical procedure in case of malignant lesions.

Who may be able to join

  • presence of small peripheral lung lesions (< 3 cm) in patient suitable for surgical procedure

Who cannot join

  • patient with metastatic disease
  • patients unfit for surgical procedure

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the percentages of diagnosis that can be obtained adding ENB to conventional bronchoscopy in the same patient (time frame: 1 year). 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.
