About this study

Official title: Feasibility of Intratumoral Washing Fluid for Detecting EGFR Mutations in Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relevance of intratumoral washing for detection of EGFR mutation (including T790M positivity).

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label study to assess evaluate the relevance of intratumoral washing by ultrathin bronchoscopy (outer diameter; 3mm) for detection of EGFR mutation (including T790M positivity) using cobas real-time PCR and droplet digital PCR (DDPCR) in patients with NSCLC.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Ultarthin bronchoscopy with intratumoral washingDiagnostic test

    Each subject with NSCLC will undergo bronchooscopic procedure. First, ultrathin bronchoscope is inserted and placed within tumor under radial EBUS, virtual bronchoscopic navigation, and fluoroscopy guidance. Then, intratumoral washing is performed. Subsequently, transbronchial lung biopsy is performed under radial EBUS, virtual bronchoscopic navigation, and fluoroscopy guidance.

What is being measured

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

  1. The DNA and EGFR mutation (including T790M positivity) detection rate in intratumoral washing fluid

    Defined as the number of DNA and EGFR mutation (including T790M positivity) detection divided by the total attempts of intratumoral washing by ultrathin bronchoscopy.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The concordance rate of EGFR mutation (including T790M positivity) detection rate among intratumoral washing fluid, plasma, and tissue

    The concordance rate of EGFR mutation (including T790M positivity) detection rate in intratumoral washing fluid, compared with plasma and tissue (gold standard).

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. The EGFR mutation (including T790M positivity) sensitivity and specificity in intratumoral washing fluid

    The sensitivity and specificity of EGFR mutation (including T790M positivity) in intratumoral washing fluid compared with tissue (gold standard).

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Objective response rate

    Objective response rate (ORR) including rate of complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) based on RECIST 1.1.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  4. Disease control rate

    Disease control rate (DCR) including rate of CR, PR and stable disease (SD) based on RECIST 1.1.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  5. Progression-free survival

    Progression-free survival (PFS) the time from first dose of the study drug until the date of progressive disease (PD) based on RECIST 1.1 or death by any cause.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultarthin bronchoscopy with intratumoral washing in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and EGFR Gene Mutation, run by Pusan National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 inclusion and 2 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 20 Aug 2025. 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 South Korea. 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?

The DNA and EGFR mutation (including T790M positivity) detection rate in intratumoral washing fluid (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 20 Aug 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
