What is being measured

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

  1. Overall diagnostic yield of cryobiopsy specimens in interstitial lung disease

    Number of cryobiopsy specimens from which a specific diagnosis of interstitial lung disease can be ascertained, as assessed by a two different pathologists blinded to the known final diagnosis.

    Measured: After biopsy (up to 24 months)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Complication rate of transbronchial cryobiopsy procedure

    Assessment of complications related to cryoTBB:

    • pneumothorax
    • hemorrage
    • other complications

    Measured: Per-procedure and up to 24 hours after

  2. Number of diagnostic specimens of cryoTBB in comparison with surgical lung biopsy specimen

    Diagnostic concordance between cryobiopsy specimen analysis and corresponding surgical lung biopsy done in same subjects (same lung/lobe)

    Measured: After biopsy (up to 24 months)

  3. Inter-observer agreement for cryobiopsy specimens

    Interobserver agreement rate between two different pathologists blinded to subject history/radiological record and surgical lung biopsy specimen.

    Measured: After biopsy (up to 24 months)

  4. Size of cryobiopsy specimen

    Size of TBB cryobiopsy specimen measured by two different pathologists responsible for its interpretation.

    Measured: After biopsy (up to 24months)

  5. Quality of cyrobiopsy specimens

    Pathological quality score of TBB cryobiopsy specimens (artefacts, size, etc.) as assessed by two different pathologists responsible for their interpretation.

    Measured: After biopsy (up to 24 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy in people with Interstitial Lung Disease, run by Laval University at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 inclusion and 7 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 8 Mar 2021. 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 Canada. 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 Antoine Delage, MDCM (418-656-4747, antoine.delage@criucpq.ulaval.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall diagnostic yield of cryobiopsy specimens in interstitial lung disease (time frame: After biopsy (up to 24 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 NCT02235779, 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 8 Mar 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
