Trial summary

Despite technological advancements directed towards the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions, an optimal approach has yet to be designed. The potential advantages of catheter based techniques include the ability to utilize instruments smaller than the diameter of a conventional bronchoscope, thereby allowing… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Electromagnetic Navigation for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions Using a Tip Tracked Steerable Catheter and Optical Guidance

Despite technological advancements directed towards the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions, an optimal approach has yet to be designed. The potential advantages of catheter based techniques include the ability to utilize instruments smaller than the diameter of a conventional bronchoscope, thereby allowing better access to the lung periphery. The drawbacks of a catheter based approach include the relative inability to steer a conventional catheter, and the inability to perform direct visualization and airway inspection through a conventional catheter. This study will evaluate a novel steerable catheter system with optical capabilities and pair this with electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy to biopsy peripheral pulmonary lesions.

Being tested
Olympus BF-180 bronchoscope (standard adult), Veran Spinview Thoracic Navigation System, Olympus UM-S20-17S, Biopsy

Study groups in NCT02582944
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm 1: Electromagnetic navigationExperimental* The bronchoscope will be inserted transorally into the tracheobronchial tree and a standard airway inspection will be performed. * Following airway inspection, the bronchoscope will be removed and the tip tracked steerable catheter with optical system will be advanced transorally through the vocal cords and into the tracheobronchial tree. * Once the tip tracked catheter has been advanced to the peripheral pulmonary target lesion, the optical SpinView system will be removed from the tip tracked catheter and the 1.4mm radial endobronchial ultrasound mini-probe will be inserted through the tip-tracked catheter into the lung periphery to confirm the presence of a peripheral pulmonary lesion and accurate navigation. * Once target confirmation has been performed using radial probe endobronchial ultrasound, biopsy of the peripheral lesion will be performed using biopsy forceps, brushes and aspiration needles.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic yield of peripheral bronchoscopy using the tip tracked steerable catheter with removable optics and electromagnetic navigation guidance

    -Primary outcome of diagnostic yield based on final cytology and/or histopathology will be determined from the results of the bronchoscopy. A biopsy that results in a specific diagnosis, either malignant or benign, that adequately explains the clinical scenario as determined by the treating physician, will be considered truly positive.

    Measured: At the time of procedure (1 day)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Confirmation of successful navigation by using radial probe endobronchial ultrasound

    Measured: At the time of procedure (1 day)

  2. Safety as measured by adverse event rates

    -Pneumothorax will be documented by post-biopsy CXR or chest ultrasonography, and the number requiring intervention, such as chest tube placement, will be recorded. Significant hemoptysis will be defined as bleeding noted at the time of procedure that requires a change in the level of care (e.g. outpatient to inpatient or inpatient to ICU) or a blood transfusion. Other adverse events that are common to bronchoscopy will be monitored

    Measured: At the time of procedure (1 day)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Olympus BF-180 bronchoscope (standard adult), Veran Spinview Thoracic Navigation System and Olympus UM-S20-17S in people with Peripheral Lung Lesions, run by Washington University School of Medicine 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 5 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 26 Dec 2017. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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?

Diagnostic yield of peripheral bronchoscopy using the tip tracked steerable catheter with removable optics and electromagnetic navigation guidance (time frame: At the time of procedure (1 day)). 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 26 Dec 2017.
