About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Value of Virtual Bronchoscopic Navigation (VBN) Combined With Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) With a Guide Sheath (GS) for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions (PPLs) Without Fluoroscopy: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) and bronchial brushing by using virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) combined with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and a Guide Sheath (GS) for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) without radiographic fluoroscopy.

Read the detailed description

The investigators evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) and bronchial brushing by using virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) combined with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and a Guide Sheath (GS) as a guide for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) without radiographic fluoroscopy.The study is designed as a three centers prospective randomized controlled trial.The participating centers are Department of endoscopy , Shanghai chest Hospital, Shanghai JiaoTong University, China. Department of endoscopy, National Cancer Center/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, China. Department of Respiratory Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, China. Patients are divided into two groups, VBN-EBUS-GS-X-ray group and VBN-EBUS-GS group. Each subject will be randomized to each group. The study is expected to enroll 436 patients at 3 centers.

What participants receive

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

  • VBNDevice

    VBN is carried out by a VBN software(DirectPath; Olympus, Japan) which can automatically create virtual bronchoscopic images.

  • EBUS-GSDevice

    EBUS is performed using an endoscope ultrasound system , which is equipped with a 20-MHz mechanical radial-type probe (UM-S20-17S;Olympus) with an external diameter of 1.4 mm and a GS (K-201; Olympus).

  • X-rayDevice

    The radiograph fluoroscopy are performed when the probe and GS are confirmed to reach the lesion by EBUS images ,cytologic and pathologic specimens are obtained under fluoroscopic guidance.

Study groups in NCT02484066
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
VBN-EBUS-GS groupExperimentalFluoroscopy are not used in this group. EBUS and GS are inserted into bronchi in the assistance of VBN. The EBUS probe and GS are confirmed to reach the lesion by EBUS images alone, cytologic and pathologic specimens are obtained without fluoroscopic guidance.
Receives: Device: VBN; Device: EBUS-GS
VBN-EBUS-GS-X-ray groupActive comparatorEBUS and GS are inserted into bronchi in the assistance of VBN. The EBUS probe and GS are confirmed to reach the lesion by EBUS images and radiograph fluoroscopy, cytologic and pathologic specimens are obtained with fluoroscopic guidance.
Receives: Device: VBN; Device: EBUS-GS; Device: X-ray

What is being measured

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

  1. The difference of diagnostic value of VBN-EBUS-GS-TBLB with fluoroscopy as compared to VBN-EBUS-GS-TBLB

    The diagnostic value means sensitivity and specificity in two groups

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The difference of operation time of VBN-EBUS-GS-TBLB with fluoroscopy as compared to VBN-EBUS-GS-TBLB

    The operation time includes total operation time,total GS time and total EBUS time

    Measured: one year

  2. The difference of complications of VBN-EBUS-GS-TBLB with fluoroscopy as compared to VBN-EBUS-GS-TBLB

    Complications mean a composite of operation-related serious adverse events (pneumothorax, bleeding, etc.) during and after the operation

    Measured: one year

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 VBN-EBUS-GS-TBLB with fluoroscopy as compared to VBN-EBUS-GS-TBLB (time frame: one 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 NCT02484066, which also lists 5 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?
