About this study

Official title: Mutational Analysis of Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) Specimens in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: a Randomized Trial of Rapid On-site Evaluation

The purpose of the study is to determine if rapid on-site evaluation of EBUS-TBNA samples can increase the percentage of patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer in whom both pathologic subtyping and mutational analysis are obtained.

Being tested
Rapid on-site evaluation, EBUS-TBNA
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

What participants receive

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

  • Rapid on-site evaluationOther

    Rapid on-site evaluation consists on the cytological evaluation of samples obtained during a diagnostic procedure by a pathologist present in the diagnostic suite. In the present study, cytological samples obtained with EBUS-TBNA during bronchoscopy will be evaluated.

  • EBUS-TBNADevice

    EBUS-TBNA is a needle aspiration procedure guided by endobronchial ultrasounds performed during bronchoscopy

What is being measured

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

  1. Mutational analysis of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), K-ras, and ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) genes

    Percentage of patients for whom the mutational analysis of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), K-ras, and ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) genes on EBUS-TBNA samples is obtained

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Diagnostic yield of EBUS-TBNA

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Adequacy of EBUS-TBNA samples

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rapid on-site evaluation and EBUS-TBNA in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, 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 3 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 7 Oct 2014. 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?

Mutational analysis of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), K-ras, and ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) genes (time frame: 18 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 NCT01799382, 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 7 Oct 2014.
