About this study

Official title: Endobronchial Ultrasound Image Features in the Diagnosis of Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions

The study is aimed to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy rate of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) image features in diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs).

Read the detailed description

The study is designed as a single center prospective trial. The participating center is Department of Ultrasound, Shanghai chest Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. The study is expected to enroll 200 patients. The investigator evaluates the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy rate of EBUS image features in diagnosing PPLs. EBUS is performed using an endoscope ultrasound system, which is equipped with a 20-MHz mechanical radial-type probe (UM-S20-17S;Olympus) with an external diameter of 1.4 mm.

What participants receive

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

  • EBUSDevice

    EBUS is performed using an endoscope ultrasound system , which is equipped with a 20-MHz mechanical radial-type probe (UM-S20-17S;Olympus) with an external diameter of 1.4 mm and a GS (K-201; Olympus).

Study groups in NCT03575715
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
EBUS groupExperimentalEBUS and guide sheath (GS) are inserted into bronchi in the assistance of navigation bronchoscopy. The EBUS probe and GS are confirmed to reach the lesion by EBUS images, cytologic and pathologic specimens are obtained with or without fluoroscopic guidance.
Receives: Device: EBUS

What is being measured

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

  1. The diagnostic value of EBUS image features

    The diagnostic value includes sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy rate.

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. EBUS image features of adenocarcinoma

    Making invasive EBUS image features of adenocarcinoma and non-invasive adenocarcinoma

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EBUS in people with Endobronchial Ultrasound, run by Shanghai Chest Hospital.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 2 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Lei Wang, MD (86-021-22200000 ext. 1416, 13917985547@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The diagnostic value of EBUS image features (time frame: one year). 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 NCT03575715, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 2 Jul 2018.
