Trial summary

Transthoracic lung biopsy (TLB) provides a histological diagnosis of nodule or lung mass. Pneumothorax is the main complication of TLB with an average of 20%. Many risk factors, whether clinical, computed tomography or related to TLB, are described in the literature. Read more about this study

About this study

Transthoracic lung biopsy (TLB) provides a histological diagnosis of nodule or lung mass. Pneumothorax is the main complication of TLB with an average of 20%. Many risk factors, whether clinical, computed tomography or related to TLB, are described in the literature. The British Thoracic Society recommends monitoring for 2 hours after the procedure with a possible discharge if the chest X-ray is normal. There is no French or European recommendation for monitoring the occurrence of pneumothorax after TLB. In the university center of Besançon, France, a minimum supervision of 4 hours is recommended and approximately one in two patients is hospitalized until the following day to reach this minimum time of 4 hours. The objective of the SPOT study is to perform a predictive score of pneumothorax from a retrospective cohort of patients for whom a transthoracic lung biopsy was performed and to validate this score on a prospective cohort. The expected goal is to select patients who can benefit from outpatient care by shortening the post-procedure surveillance period and to monitor more long-term only high-risk patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pneumothorax occurrence

    Pneumothorax is defined by the observation on the chest x-ray of a pleural detachment regardless of its importance.

    Measured: between 4 and 24 hours after procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pneumothorax, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon 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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Joffrey Hamam (0381668802 ext. +33, joffrey.hamam@live.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pneumothorax occurrence (time frame: between 4 and 24 hours after procedure). 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 NCT03488043, 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 27 Jul 2018.
