What participants receive

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

  • Rapid on-site cytopathologic evaluation (ROSE)Procedure or surgery

    ROSE: examination in the endoscopy suite, by a pathologist, during the bronchoscopic procedure, of samples obtained with transbronchial needle aspiration.

  • TBNAProcedure or surgery

    transbronchial needle aspiration

Receives: Procedure: Rapid on-site cytopathologic evaluation (ROSE); Procedure: TBNA

What is being measured

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

  1. Examine the diagnostic yield of the TBNA with ROSE arm versus the diagnostic yield of TBNA alone arm

    Measured: 6-12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Examine the percentage of inadequate samples in the TBNA with ROSE arm versus the TBNA alone arm

    Measured: 6-12 months

  2. Examine the number of biopsy sites in the TBNA with ROSE arm versus the TBNA alone arm

    Measured: 6-12 months

  3. Examine the complication rate of bronchoscopy in the TBNA with ROSE arm versus the TBNA alone arm

    Measured: 6-12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rapid on-site cytopathologic evaluation (ROSE) and TBNA in people with Lung Cancer and Sarcoidosis, run by Maggiore Bellaria Hospital, Bologna at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 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 19 Feb 2010. 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 Italy. 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?

Examine the diagnostic yield of the TBNA with ROSE arm versus the diagnostic yield of TBNA alone arm (time frame: 6-12 months). 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 NCT00915330, which also lists 5 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.

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 19 Feb 2010.
