Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with indeterminate lung nodules referred from the department of pulmonary medicine at Gentofte Hospital, Denmark for a CT guided biopsy are considered for inclusion in this study. The biopsy was preformed as part of regular clinical work up of the patient at the department of Radiology Gentofte Hospital, Denmark. Both men and women were included and no age restrictions were applied.

Who cannot join

  • Excluded from biopsy were those with poor pulmonary function test with a forced expired volume in the first second (FEV1) < 0.5 L, INR>1.2, blood cloth level under 200 and ECG with sign of ischemic heart disease. The trial is planned to begin 1.March 2010 and run for 2 years ending at 29 February 2012. During this time approx. 400 participants planned for biopsy are accepted to be included in the trial.

About this study

The primary outcome of this study is to investigate the accuracy of respiration gated laser guided CT lung nodule biopsy through a prospective randomized trial using a bellows-based breath hold monitoring system. Secondary outcome is the rate of complications using laser guided CT biopsy in general and with bellows-based breath hold monitoring system. The study has approval from the The Danish National Committee on Biomedical Research Ethics (ref no: H-4-2010-fsp 1).

What participants receive

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

  • Bellows-based breath hold deviceDevice

    Bellows-Based breath hold monitoring system:

    The bellows-based breath hold system (IBC, Mayo Clinic Medical Devices, USA) contains of 2 elements; one belt which is strapped around the thorax of the patient and a voltage controlled light unit with 8 lights. Belt stretch from respiratory motion is converted into voltage readings and displayed on the light unit giving biofeedback as different lights are activated depending on the dept of the respiration. Patients are instructed to keep respiration constant at a certain dept during the second the guide needle is inserted by controlling their breath with the help of the light unit. The patient is given a brief introduction to the system as to how the lights get turned on and off due to respiration motion before the biopsy is preformed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bellows-based breath hold device in people with Lung Cancer, run by University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen at 1 site in Denmark.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Nov 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 Denmark. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Haseem Ashraf, MD, PhD (haseem.ashraf@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy of respiration gated laser guided CT lung nodule biopsy (time frame: After 2 years). 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 9 Nov 2010.
