About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Mediastinal Lymph Nodes With Endobronchial-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration in Individuals With Lung Diseases

The purpose of this protocol is to obtain biologic materials from the mediastinal lymph nodes from patients with lung disease and mediastinal lymph node involvement in order to: (1) develop a better understanding of the cause and development of lung disorders involving the mediastinal lymph nodes; (2) identify biologic parameters that help diagnose and predict the behavior of human lung diseases; and (3) identify individuals who will be suitable candidates for other protocols such as those involving investigational new drugs.

Read the detailed description

This study will use bronchoscopy with endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) as part of their diagnostic work up as recommended by the treating physician. The procedure will be performed as standard of care, either under general anesthesia in the operating room or in the bronchoscopy suite under moderate sedation and analgesia. Bronchoscopy with EBUS-TBNA is normally an ambulatory procedure. During the procedure, biopsy needle will be passed through the tube and a small sample will be taken for both diagnostic and research purposes. Samples collected for diagnostic purposes will be sent to the Department of Pathology. Additional biopsy samples will be collected for research purposes. The subject is observed after the bronchoscopy, including vital signs and level of consciousness, until they are back to baseline. All subjects will be discharged with an escort as per Hospital policy. An overnight stay would be required for ambulatory individuals only if the individual is not, in the judgment of the treating attending physician, safe to be discharged as is standard practice.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients with lung diseaseGeneral admission criteria for this project will require at least one of the following: (1) symptoms consistent with pulmonary disease with mediastinal lymph node involvement ; (2) chest X-ray and chest CT scan consistent with lung disease and mediastinal lymph node involvement; (3) Individuals with a lung biopsy consistent with lung disease and presenting with enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes; and (4) patients with diseases of organs with known association with lung disease and mediastinal lymph node involvement.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evidence that is consistent with lung disease and presentation of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes

    Bronchoscopy with endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)

    Measured: 24 Hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Disease and Inflammation, run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University 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 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Dec 2017. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Study was terminated due to lack of funding.). 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?

Evidence that is consistent with lung disease and presentation of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes (time frame: 24 Hours). 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 26 Dec 2017.
