About this study

The diagnosis of nodules and peripheral lung masses (lesions not accessible in classical bronchial endoscopy) is a challenge for the pulmonologist especially when these lesions are not accessible to the transparietal aspirate under scanner. The overall sensitivity of flexible fibroscopy for peripheral lesions is 69% (bronchial brushing, transbronchial biopsies, bronchoalveolar lavage and blind trans-mucosal aspiration). This sensitivity varies from 33% when the lesion is less than 2 cm, to 62% when it is greater than 2 cm. The puncture under scan of these lesions remains the gold standard. In the meta-analysis of Schreiber G et al., The diagnostic sensitivity of transparietal aspirate for peripheral lung lesions is 90%. On the other hand, the complication rate of this technique is not negligible, with in the study of Boskovic et al, a pneumothorax rate varying from 8 to 64%. In the literature, the only risk factor actually found is the existence of emphysema. However, thoracic drainage is rarely necessary.

Bronchial echo-endoscopy using a radial mini-probe was developed in 1992 by Thomas Hürter and Peter Hanrath to produce ultrasound guided specimens of these peripheral lung lesions. In the meta-analysis of Steinfort et al., The overall sensitivity of this mini-probe technique is 73% for the histological diagnosis. From the same author, a randomized trial compared the diagnostic sensitivity of transparietal aspirate undergoing ultrasound-guided transbronchial biopsy with a radial mini-probe: this was 93.3% versus 87.5% with no significant difference (p = 1 ), Whereas post-procedure complications are less frequent in the ultrasound procedure (27% versus 3%, p = 0.03). Steinfort also showed that the economic cost of bronchial echo-endoscopy by radial mini-probe and transthoracic puncture under CT was similar both to the success or failure of the first procedure requiring further investigations . Mini-probe-guided specimens are therefore an efficient diagnostic alternative to obtain a histological diagnosis of these peripheral lung lesions

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Transbronchial Biopsies and Peripheral Lung Lesion, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

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 1 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 15 Oct 2018. 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 France. 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?

Analyze predictive criteria of the performance diagnosis by echo-guide sampling by mini-probe (time frame: 39 months). 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 15 Oct 2018.
