About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Study on Video Double-Lumen Tube Versus Double-Lumen Tube

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how often a fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB -- also known as a fiberoptic scope procedure) needs to be used with a video double lumen tube (VDLT) during surgeries that require lung isolation. On this study, you will have one of 2 types of commonly-used breathing tubes used, either a VDLT or a non-video double lumen tube (called a non-video DLT). An FOB may or may not be performed, as described below.

The level of effectiveness of the VDLT and non-video DLT will be compared.

Read the detailed description

The difference between the 2 types of breathing tubes is that the VDLT has a built-in camera that is designed to allow the doctor to see the airways continuously.

A fiberoptic scope is a thin device that may be placed into the breathing tube in order to check that the tube is in the correct place.

Study Groups:

If you agree to take part in this study, you will be randomly assigned (as in the flip of a coin) to 1 of 2 study groups. This is done because no one knows if one study group is better, the same, or worse than the other group. You will have an equal chance of being assigned to either group.

If you are in Group 1, you will receive a non-video DLT for lung isolation before surgery. Once the doctor thinks the non-video DLT is in the correct place, its final position before surgery will be checked with an FOB.

If you are in Group 2, you will receive a VDLT for lung isolation before surgery. Once the doctor thinks the VDLT is in the correct place, its final position before surgery will be checked with the camera inside the tube. However, if the doctor thinks it is needed, an FOB may also be used to confirm that the VDLT is in the correct place.

You will sign a separate consent form that describes the risks of surgery.

Procedures:

Once the doctor thinks the VDLT or non-video DLT is in the correct place and your lung(s) can be isolated, you will have surgery as planned. At the end of surgery, the breathing tube will be removed.

If the breathing tube cannot be placed, you will not have the surgery at that time.

Length of Study:

After the surgery, your study participation will be over.

This is an investigational study. The VDLT and non-video DLT are FDA approved and commercially available. Comparing them is investigational. The study doctor can explain how the study devices are designed to work.

Up to 80 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Fiberoptic Use During Surgeries Requiring Lung Isolation

    The rate of FOB use for the VDLT arm and the Double-Lumenendobronchial Tubes (DLT) arm was calculated. The Fisher's exact test or chi-square test was used to evaluate the association between 2 categorical variables. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to evaluate the difference in a continuous variable. Rate of fiberoptic use with the Video Double-Lumen Tube (VDLT) during surgeries requiring lung isolation and to compare to the rate of Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy (FOB) use with the conventional DLT.

    Measured: During surgery (from induction to extubation), an average of 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Quality of View Provided by the VDLT (Embedded Camera) vs. DLT (FOB) Using Grading System

    Good is defined as able to visualize all structures and good lung isolation position verified Adequate is defined as able to visualize primary carina, other structures challenging to visualize good lung isolation position verified Poor is defined as unable to recognize anatomy.

    Measured: During surgery (from induction to extubation), an average of 1 hour

  2. Number of Participants in Which Anesthesiologist Was Able to Forewarn/ Anticipate Dislodging of Endobronchial Cuff

    Measured: 1 Day

  3. Dislodgement During Positioning and Surgery

    Measured: During positioning, up to 30 minutes and during surgery (from induction to extubation), up to 1 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Non-Video Double Lumen Tube (DLT), Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy (FOB) and Video Double Lumen Tube (VDLT) in people with Other Surgical Procedures, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 29 Mar 2022. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Mar 2022). 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?

Number of Participants With Fiberoptic Use During Surgeries Requiring Lung Isolation (time frame: During surgery (from induction to extubation), an average of 1 hour). 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 29 Mar 2022.
