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 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Adult individuals with suspected mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathies or masses referred for endobronchial ultrasound-guided biopsy.

Who may be able to join

  • All patients over the age of 18, evaluated by pulmonary physician that require EBUS TBNA for sampling of hilar and/or mediastinal lymphadenopathies or masses
  • Patients should be considered eligible to undergo either CS or GA, without contraindications for either one of them, based on the assessment by the pulmonologist who will perform EBUS-TBNA

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding women
  • Patients deemed poor candidates for general anesthesia by the evaluating physician (e.g., severe coronary artery disease, COPD with FEV1 < 1 liter, uncontrolled hypertension, increased intracranial pressure, reaction to anesthetics)
  • Previous reaction to medications routinely used in conscious sedation
  • Patients with history of intolerance to either general anesthesia or conscious sedation
  • Dementia or other severe cognitive impairment causing inability to understand or consent to the procedure and study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) Performed Under General Anesthesia Versus Conscious Sedation

The purpose of the study is to determine if there are any differences in yield or safety of Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) (a type of bronchoscopy with biopsy) performed under general anesthesia versus moderate sedation.

Keywords
EBUS, mediastinal lymph nodes, mediastinal masses, anesthesia, moderate sedation

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01430962
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
General AnesthesiaPatients will receive Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) with a combination of Propofol, Ketamine and neuromuscular blockade by anesthesia. Either an LMA or an ETT will be used to secure airway.
Moderate SedationPatients will receive moderate sedation given by the physician performing EBUS with a combination of Versed and Fentanyl per hospital protocol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mediastinal Lymphadenopathies and Mediastinal Masses, run by Baylor College of Medicine at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 23 Jul 2015. 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 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 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 Yield (time frame: 24 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 NCT01430962, which also lists 4 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 23 Jul 2015.
