What is being measured

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

  1. Ability to Successfully Obtain Sample

    Number of tissue samples that are considered by the bronchoscopist as adequate for further pathological analysis

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Duration of Biopsy Procedure

    Total time of biopsy procedure from first insertion of probe into robotic sheath to removal of specimens.

    Measured: Biopsy procedure, approximately 3 hours

  2. Freezing Time for Cryoprobe Biopsies

    Total freezing time for cryoprobe biopsies, measured in seconds

    Measured: Biopsy procedure, approximately 60 seconds

  3. Number of Successful Biopsy Attempts

    One attempt is defined as insertion of the biopsy probe into the robotic sheath, activation/employment of the biopsy mechanism at the target site and retrieval via the robotic sheath. A biopsy attempt is successful if a tissue sample that is considered by the bronchoscopist to be adequate for further pathological analysis can be retrieved.

    Measured: Biopsy procedure, approximately 3 hours

  4. Histological Accessibility Grade

    Pathologic description ranging from insufficient to diagnostic material

    Measured: Pathology review, approximately 1 day

  5. Histological Diagnostic Yield

    Defined as the ability of the pathologist to make a diagnostic statement based on the histological analysis of the obtained tissue samples. Graded 1-4 with 1 being insufficient tissue and 4 being diagnostic material.

    Measured: Pathology review, approximately 1 day

  6. Total Histological Area

    The total histological area of the biopsy samples. Measured in (mm^2)

    Measured: Pathology review, approximately 1 day

  7. Crush Artifacts

    The total percent area of crush artifacts identified in the biopsy samples (percent total area)

    Measured: Pathology review, approximately 1 day

  8. Other Pathologic Artifacts

    The total percent area of other pathologic artifacts identified in the tissue biopsy samples that obscure pathological assessment (percent total area)

    Measured: Pathology review, approximately 1 day

  9. Different Tissue Types in the Tissue Specimen

    The total percent area of different tissue types identified in the tissue biopsy samples. Defined as the total of alveoli, bronchus, mucus, blood, and target tissue (percent total area)

    Measured: Pathology review, approximately 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cryoprobe biopsy and Forceps biopsy in people with Bronchi--Diseases and Lung Diseases, Obstructive, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 8 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 17 Oct 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Oct 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Ability to Successfully Obtain Sample (time frame: Baseline). 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 17 Oct 2024.
