About this study

The primary intention of this study is to determine the diagnostic performance of ultra-low-dose CT (ULDCT) in diagnosis and follow-up of diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD). We hypothesize that inspiratory and expiratory chest ULDCT has comparable diagnostic yield to standard dose chest High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and utility for follow-up of patients with known DPLD. We will study this hypothesis through the following aims:

  1. Determine whether inspiratory and expiratory ULDCT are comparable to HRCT in identifying mosaic attenuation due to air-trapping.
  2. Determine whether ULDCT is as good as HRCT for follow-up of patients with established DPLD to identify disease progression.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary outcome measure of this study is to determine the diagnostic performance of ULDCT in diagnosis of DPLD.

    The diagnostic performance will be evaluated according to the biopsy results

    Measured: during the procedure/surgery

  2. The primary outcome measure of this study is to determine the prognostic performance of ULDCT in the follow up of DPLD.

    The diagnostic performance will be evaluated according to the biopsy results

    Measured: during the procedure/surgery

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 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record lists 1 site in Israel. 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 Gal Varshavsky (972-3-5305997, Gal.Varshavsky@sheba.health.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary outcome measure of this study is to determine the diagnostic performance of ULDCT in diagnosis of DPLD. (time frame: during the procedure/surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 May 2022.
