About this study

Official title: Feasibility of the Thin Convex Probe Endobronchial Ultrasound (TCP-EBUS) System for Lymph Node Staging

This study will determine the feasibility of the novel thin convex probe endobronchial ultrasound (TCP-EBUS) in human resected lobes. The primary end point is to clarify the feasibility of using the thin convex probe EBUS scope to visualize lung tumors from an intra-bronchial view. The secondary objective is to evaluate the insertion ability, operability, endoscopic image and ultrasound image compared to that of the convex probe EBUS.

What participants receive

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

  • Thin Convex Probe Endobronchial Ultrasound (TCP-EBUS)Device

    Patients scheduled for a lobectomy will be recruited to this study and approached for informed consent. At the time of surgery, once the lobe has been removed, the TCP-EBUS will be inserted through a bronchial stamp for brief operability evaluations and image acquisition. Once this data has been captured standard of care will continue.

What is being measured

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

  1. To clarify the feasibility of using the thin convex probe EBUS scope to visualize lung tumors from an intra bronchial view.

    The TCP-EBUS bronchoscope will be inserted through the endotracheal tube for visualization of lobar, segmental and sub segmental bronchi.

    Measured: Within an hour of resection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Thin Convex Probe Endobronchial Ultrasound (TCP-EBUS) in people with Lung Cancer, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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 14 May 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 Canada. 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?

To clarify the feasibility of using the thin convex probe EBUS scope to visualize lung tumors from an intra bronchial view. (time frame: Within an hour of resection.). 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 14 May 2018.
