About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Value of Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy With a Guide Sheath for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions : a Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy with a Guide Sheath(ENB-GS) for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) .

Read the detailed description

The investigators evaluated the efficacy and safety of transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) and bronchial brushing using electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) with a guide sheath (GS) for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) with radiographic fluoroscopy.The study is designed as a two-center prospective randomized controlled trial. The participating centers are Department of pulmonary medicine and endoscope department, Shanghai chest Hospital affiliated to Shanghai JiaoTong University, China. Department of pulmonary medicine, Shanghai ZhongShan Hospitial affiliated to Shanghai FuDan University, China.Patients are divided into two groups, ENB-GS-TBLB-X-ray group and GS-TBLB-X-ray group.Each subject will be randomized to each group.The study is expected to enroll 60 patients at 2 centers (Shanghai Chest Hospital: 40, Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital: 20).

What participants receive

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

  • ENBProcedure or surgery

    ENB is performed using an electromagnetic navigation system (LK-DW-NK-Z; Suzhou Lungcare Medical Technology Inc., China) with an internal locatable guide (LG; Lungcare) with diameter of 1.45 mm. Bronchoscopes with a working channel diameter of 2.0 mm are used (BF-260 and BF-P260F; Olympus, Japan). The LG is inserted into the GS(K-201; Olympus) beforehand, and the GS-covered LG is introduced via the working channel of the bronchoscope and navigated to the PPL finally. The LG and GS are confirmed to reach the lesion by radiograph fluoroscopy.

  • GS-TBLB-X-rayProcedure or surgery

    A GS is introduced in the working channel of the bronchoscope alone. The GS is confirmed to reach the lesion by radiograph fluoroscopy, pathologic specimens are obtained under fluoroscopic guidance.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Difference of Diagnostic Value of ENB-GS-TBLB as Compared to GS-TBLB

    The diagnostic yield in the ENB-GS-TBLB and GS-TBLB group was 87.2% and 61% individually.

    Measured: Up to half year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The Duration Time Difference of ENB-GS-TBLB With Fluoroscopy as Compared to GS-TBLB With Fluoroscopy Alone

    Including total procedure time,total X-ray time, duration time for finding lesions and X-ray time for finding lesions.

    Measured: Up to half year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ENB and GS-TBLB-X-ray in people with Lung Cancer, run by Shanghai Chest Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 30 Nov 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 China. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Nov 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

The Difference of Diagnostic Value of ENB-GS-TBLB as Compared to GS-TBLB (time frame: Up to half year). 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 NCT02207478, which also lists 3 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?
