What participants receive

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

  • Rapid on-site evaluationDiagnostic test

    Specimens obtained with endoscopic sampling procedures are stained with a rapid method (i.e., Diff Qui) and submitted to on-site cytologic review

Study groups in NCT03845764
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE)Evaluation, made by a pulmonologist, a pathologist and a molecular pathologist, of the tumor burden in ROSE slides produced from endoscopic procedures aimed at sampling intrathoracic lymphadenopathy and pulmonary nodules
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Rapid on-site evaluation

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy with which a pulmonologist can assess the tumor burden on ROSE slides

    The outcome 1 will be measured by verifying the agreement between the pulmonologist judgment and the molecular pathologist judgment, the latter being the gold standard

    Measured: The time frame is the duration of each bronchoscopy with endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for each patient enrolled

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Interobserver agreement between pulmonologist, pathologist and molecular pathologist in then assessment of the tumor burden on ROSE slides

    The outcome 2 will be measured by verifying the agreement between the 3 professionals, using the judgment of the molecular pathologist as gold standard

    Measured: The time frame is the duration of each bronchoscopy with endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for each patient enrolled

  2. Accuracy with which a pulmonologist can identify malignancy on ROSE samples

    The outcome 3 will be measured by verifying the agreement between pulmonologist and pathologist, the latter being the gold standard

    Measured: The time frame is the duration of each bronchoscopy endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for each patient enrolled

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Maggiore Bellaria Hospital, Bologna at 2 sites in Italy.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Italy. 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?

Accuracy with which a pulmonologist can assess the tumor burden on ROSE slides (time frame: The time frame is the duration of each bronchoscopy with endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for each patient enrolled). 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 Aug 2019.
