About this study

Official title: A Molecular Test for Rapid On-site Evaluation in EBUS-TBNAsamples of Lung Cancer Patients

The aim of our study is to investigate if CK19 mRNA-detection via OSNA can accurately detect lymph node metastases in lung cancer patients using EBUS-TBNA samples.

Read the detailed description

Regional lymph nodes are assessed before tumor resection and before initiation of chemo- or radiotherapy. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a well-established method for mediastinal and hilar lymph node staging [2, 3]. Samples obtained via this route are much smaller than surgical lymph node biopsies, yet they are able to provide complete and thorough evaluation, this includes current molecular testing.

One Step Nucleic Acid Amplification (OSNA), a molecular test that utilizes CK 19 mRNA-concentration as a target marker is becoming a rapidly dynamic method in quick detection of sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases in breast cancer, colon cancer and other cancers.

In lung cancer, the role of SLN is not well established. However, recent publications suggest an accurate and rapid detection of lymph node metastases in NSCLC. However this requires complete lymph node dissection either with mediastinoscopy or by other surgical means such as thoracotomy.

The aim of our study is to investigate if CK19 mRNA-detection via OSNA can accurately detect lymph node metastases in lung cancer patients using EBUS-TBNA samples.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Neoplasms, run by University Hospital, Essen at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 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 6 Jun 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 Germany. 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 Filiz Oezkan, MD (00492014334634, filiz.oezkan@ruhrlandklinik.uk-essen.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

One step nucleic acid amplification of Cytokeratin 19 mRNA (time frame: 6 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 NCT02157857, 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 6 Jun 2014.
