About this study

Official title: Assessment of a Novel, Fast and Automatic CT-to-patient Registration Method During Navigated Bronchoscopy and Endobronchial Ultrasound Bronchoscopy (EBUS)

Bronchoscopic diagnosis and staging of lung cancer must be gentle and quick, and requires optimal sampling precision.Electromagnetic navigation systems are promising for intraoperative guiding based on maps made of preoperative CT images. Navigation accuracy depends largely on correct alignment of preoperative images to the patient´s position in space during endoscopy. In this study, the accuracy of a new fast and automatic image-to-patient registration method during the initial phase of bronchoscopy is assessed in patients referred for lung cancer investigation.

Read the detailed description

This is an accuracy study of a new automatic CT-to-patient registration technique for bronchoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy (EBUS). An in-house research and development navigation platform displays the intraoperative position of the endoscope inside the airways, and shows its exact position in three-dimensional (3D) maps made from the patients' own preoperative CT images. The navigation system is used for acquiring position data from a bronchoscope or EBUS-scope (same sort of output data acquired from both endoscopes in this study) equipped with a position sensor for electromagnetic tracking. From intraoperative position data, the accuracy of the image-to-patient registration and the navigation system accuracy can be calculated. When targeting a certain lymph node or tumor for sampling, the pulmonologist can use electromagnetic navigation combined with preoperative CT images to navigate directly, precisely and accurately to the area of interest. Functional systems for navigated bronchoscopy and EBUS may therefore lead to considerable improvements in lung cancer diagnosis and mediastinal staging.

What is being measured

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

  1. endoscope position (measured in millimetres from origo in the x, y and z-plane) in 3 dimensional maps from preoperative CT images

    intraoperative positional data of bronchoscope or endobronchial ultrasound scope (EBUS) measured and stored in navigation system software, used for registration and navigation system accuracy calculations

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. duration of procedure

    time from first entry of endoscope through vocal cords to final withdrawal of endoscope

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. patient reported satisfaction

    enquiry on patients´own experience 2 hours after end of navigated bronchoscopy/EBUS procedure

    Measured: 48 hours

  3. adverse events

    procedure related adverse events or unexpected incidents registrated

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing navigated bronchoscopy in people with Bronchial Neoplasms, run by St. Olavs Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 1 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 Mar 2016. 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 Norway. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

endoscope position (measured in millimetres from origo in the x, y and z-plane) in 3 dimensional maps from preoperative CT images (time frame: 48 hours). 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 NCT02493023, 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 30 Mar 2016.
