Trial summary

Electromagnetic navigation systems have proved feasible for precise intraoperative guiding during videobronchoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), based on maps made of preoperative CT images. PET--CT, PET--MRI and fMRI can point out malignant lesions. Read more about this study

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)

Electromagnetic navigation systems have proved feasible for precise intraoperative guiding during videobronchoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), based on maps made of preoperative CT images. PET--CT, PET--MRI and fMRI can point out malignant lesions.

When fused into a research navigation system, functional imaging can add information of optimal sampling points in lung cancer staging. Correct image registration is then fundamental. This study is a build--on to NCT02493023, assessing the position and image registration accuracy and clinical feasibility of a multimodal image guiding system in patients referred for lung cancer staging by EBUS--TBNA.

Read the detailed description

A research navigation platform displays the intraoperative position of the endoscope inside the airways, and shows its position in 3D maps made from the patients' own preoperative images (PET-- CT, PET--MRI or fMRI). Images are acquired ahead of study inclusion. The navigation system acquires position data, first from a videobronchoscope, then from an EBUS--scope (same sort of output data acquired from both endoscopes) equipped with a position sensor for electromagnetic tracking.

From intraoperative position data, the accuracy of the image--to--patient registration (for CT, PET--CT, PET--MRI and fMRI) and the navigation system accuracy are calculated.

Electromagnetic navigation fused with available image modalities can be used to navigate directly and precisely to the area with highest suspicion of malignancy. Multimodal image guiding systems with functional imaging may thereby lead to improvements in endoscopic lung cancer staging, f. i. in diagnostic yield, procedure time and safety.

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, PET-CT, PET-MRI or fMRI 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 (5)
  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: 2 hours

  3. adverse events

    procedure related adverse events or unexpected incidents registrated

    Measured: 48 hours

  4. Operator reported satisfaction

    Enquiry on main operator´s experience immediately after end of navigated bronchoscopy/EBUS procedure

    Measured: 48 hours

  5. Diagnostic yield

    Diagnostic success per TBNA sample defined as >40 lymphocytes/high power field as reported by rapid onsite cytologist

    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 10 Jan 2024. 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, PET-CT, PET-MRI or fMRI 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 NCT02745002, 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 10 Jan 2024.
