About this study

Official title: A Prospective Multicenter Study Comparing Endobronchial and Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided FNA to Mediastinoscopy/Thoracoscopy in the Staging and Early Detection of Metastases in Lung Cancer

This is a prospective randomized clinical trial with the study cohort comprised of all male and female patients over the age of 21 presenting to the study site for evaluation of lung cancer. The study will enroll 300 subjects, with 150 in each arm. Three sites will be in the study, Mayo Rochester, Mayo Jacksonville and Medical University of South Carolina. Mayo Rochester will enroll approximately 125 subjects. This study does not require subjects to undergo any additional procedures than what they would receive per standard medical care. The consenting subjects will receive EUS and /or EBUS- guided FNA or Mediastinoscopy/Thoracoscopy.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective randomized clinical trial of males and females age 21 or older being evaluated for lung cancer. The study will enroll approximately 300 subjects (150 in each arm) at 3 participating centers (MUSC, Mayo Clinic Rochester and Jacksonville). This sample size will provide sufficient statistical power (i.e. >80%) using a non-inferiority study design with 1-sided hypothesis testing (Farrington and Manning 1990) to determine whether or not the sensitivity of the EUS/EBUS diagnostic technique is inferior (i.e. 10% or more lower) when compared to the sensitivity of malignant mediastinal adenopathy of about 40%. This study requires subjects to agree to the selection of their standard of care procedure. Subjects will be randomized (stratified computer generated randomization stratified y center and y CT positivity for pathologically enlarged [>1cm short axis] node - 10 strata). Randomization will use variable block sizes (4-8), so that randomization allocation remains concealed as investigators will not be blinded. This study requires subjects to consent to the release of outcome data and follow-up data to be used for study analysis. No additional visit will be required for this study; this study will not require any additional time requirements beyond their scheduled evaluations.

  • Mediastinoscopy/thoracoscopyProcedure or surgery

    Also called Lung biopsy

    Mediastinoscopy used to detect/stage lung cancer.

  • EBUS/EUSProcedure or surgery

    Also called Endobronchial Ultrasound, Endoscopic Ultrasound

What is being measured

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

  1. Develop an integrated staging technique to detect early metastases in lung cancer which should affect patient outcomes more accurately than conventional staging techniques.

    Measured: Post operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mediastinoscopy/thoracoscopy and EBUS/EUS in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Mayo Clinic at 3 sites in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jul 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 was stopped early (reason given: Similar study published results). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Develop an integrated staging technique to detect early metastases in lung cancer which should affect patient outcomes more accurately than conventional staging techniques. (time frame: Post operative). 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 18 Jul 2011.
