About this study

Official title: Randomized Study Comparing Standard Staging of Lung Cancer With Extended Staging Including EBUS-TBNA and PET-MRI

The overall aim of this study is to compare standard staging of lung cancer (which includes clinical examination, CT, MRI, bone scan and PET-CT) with comprehensive staging - which includes the new staging methods (PET-MRI and systematic mapping of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes using endobronchial ultrasound) with respect to disease stage and outcomes of therapy.

Read the detailed description

The trial is a randomized, explorative study. Patients undergoing examinations for suspicions of lung cancer (Stage I-III) are randomized to either standard diagnostic work-up for lung cancer (Arm A, n=75) or comprehensive diagnostic work-up (Arm B, n=75) with standard examinations plus endobronchial-screening for metastatic lymph nodes (EBUS-TBNA) and PET-MRI.

All patients will undergo todays' standard examination for diagnosing and staging lung cancer. This will be individualized for each patient according to current guidelines. In addition to the standard diagnostic work-up, patients in the interventional group (ArmB) will undergo

  1. PET-MRI 2) systematic mediastinal and hilar lymph node mapping using EBUS-TBNA (endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration of lymph nodes)
  2. PET-MRI PET-MRI will be done immediate after the standard PET-CT using the same infusion of tracer (18-fluorodeoxyglucose, FDG). The sequence protocols used for MRI will be standardized for the study, according to each body compartment. Measurement of Standard Uptake Values (SUV) of the tracer (FDG) will be recorded in pathological lesions. In the mediastinum, each lymph node station will be evaluated with description of visible nodes.
  3. Systematic mediastinal mapping The EBUS-TBNA will be done at the initial bronchoscopy and using standard conscious sedation according to the local guidelines at St.Olavs Hospital. Each lymph node station (station 2, 4, 7, 10 and 11 bilateral) will be examined and all lymph nodes ≥ 0,5 cm in short diameter that is easily accessible will be punctured for rapid on-site cytological evaluation (ROSE).

After the initial diagnostic work-up is completed, the patient will be given treatment according to existing guidelines for lung cancer based on the given clinical stage.

For patients undergoing surgery all accessible lymph nodes will be resected according to standard practice. Every resected lymph node will be carefully named according to the standard lymph station for comparison with clinical findings.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PET-MRI and EBUS-TBNA in people with Lung Neoplasms, run by St. Olavs Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2018. 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 Norway. 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: due to difficulties with recruiting). 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?

Progression free survival (time frame: Progression free survival in one year). 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 5 Oct 2018.
