About this study

Official title: Combined Application of EBUS-TBNA and EUS-B-FNA in Mediastinal Staging of Lung Cancer; EBUS-TBNA Centered Procedure vs. EUS-B-FNA Centered Procedure, a Randomized Study.

This study aims to investigate a diagnostic yield and performance characteristics according to the order of endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) and endoscopic ultrasound-with bronchoscope-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EUS-B-FNA) in the mediastinal staging of potentially operable lung cancer. EUS-FNA is a better tolerated procedure than EBUS-TBNA. Therefore, EUS-B-FNA can be the main procedure in a combined approach with EBUS-TBNA and EUS-B-FNA. In group A, the investigators perform EBUS-TBNA first and EUS-B-FNA is performed when necessary. In group B, EUS-B-FNA is first applied and EBUS-TBNA is performed when necessary. The hypothesis is that the diagnostic yield of the EUS centered procedure is as good as that of the EBUS centered procedure and the EUS centered procedure is more tolerable than the EBUS centered procedure. We evaluate diagnostic yields and performance characteristics of each group.

What participants receive

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

  • EUS-B-FNA followed by EBUS-TBNAProcedure or surgery

    EUS-B-FNA will be performed followed by EBUS-TBNA when additional needle aspiration is necessary after EBUS-TBNA.

  • EBUS-TBNA followed by EUS-B-FNAProcedure or surgery

    EBUS-TBNA will be performed followed by EUS-B-FNA when additional needle aspiration is necessary after EUS-B-FNA

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy

    Measured: When the confimative disgnosis is available in all subjects (after surgery) ; 8-12 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Procedure time

    Measured: During and just after the procedure ; 5-60 minutes

  2. Cardiovascular measurement (change of blood pressure, changes of heart rate, number of patients with arrhythmia)

    Measured: During the procedure; 0-60 minutes

  3. Degree of desaturation

    Measured: During the procedure; 0-60minutes

  4. Discomfort by the procedure

    Measured: After the procedure ; 2-3hr

  5. Number of participants with adverse Events (infection, bleeding requiring intervention, pneumothorax, or any complications requiring hospital admission)

    Measured: During and after the procedure; 0-2 weeks

  6. Lymph node features

    Measured: During and after the procedure; 0-2hrs

  7. Fentanyl/midazolam/lidocaine consumption

    Measured: After the procedure ; 1-2 hrs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EUS-B-FNA followed by EBUS-TBNA and EBUS-TBNA followed by EUS-B-FNA in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 10 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 18 Oct 2012. 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 South Korea. 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?

Diagnostic accuracy (time frame: When the confimative disgnosis is available in all subjects (after surgery) ; 8-12 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 NCT01385111, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Oct 2012.
