About this study

Official title: The Optimal Sequence of Bronchial Brushing, Forceps Biopsy and Washing for Diagnosis of Lung Cancer

The study aims to compare the diagnostic yields of bronchial brushing performed before and after forceps biopsy and bronchial wash performed before and after biopsy during flexible bronchoscopy.

Read the detailed description

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related mortality in both sexes in the world. To treat the disease successfully, it should be diagnosed at the earliest possible stage. Several studies have demonstrated that early detection, localization, and aggressive treatment of lung cancer result in the 5-year survival rate of 70-80%. Nowadays, bronchoscopy is an invaluable tool for diagnosis of lung cancer and various diagnostic tools have been developed using flexible fiber-optic bronchoscopy (FOB).

Bronchoscopy, while essential for diagnosing and staging lung cancer, can give variable diagnostic yields ranging from37-77%. One reason for this variability is limitations in tissue sampling techniques, which can make it impossible to obtain the most representative area of neoplastic tissue. Numerous basic diagnostic procedures using FB, including bronchoalveolar lavage or washing, brushing, endobronchial or transbronchial biopsy(TBB), and transbronchial needle aspiration, have been evaluated in various combinations to improve the diagnostic yield of FB in patients with suspected lung cancer. However, the optimum sequence of brushing, washing and biopsy samples for diagnosing peripheral lung cancer is not clear and requires further study.

What is being measured

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

  1. comparison between diagnostic yields of different tissue sampling techniques of bronchoscope in lung cancer diagnosis

    we will compare between the diagnostic yield of bronchial brushing group (pre-biopsy brushing + forceps biopsy + post-biopsy brushing) with the diagnostic yield of bronchial wash group (pre-biopsy bronchial wash + biopsy + post-biopsy bronchial wash).

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing bronchoscope in people with Lung Cancer, run by Assiut University.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 14 Sep 2023. 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 merna maged (+201284143158, mernamaged1@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

comparison between diagnostic yields of different tissue sampling techniques of bronchoscope in lung cancer diagnosis (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT05992740, which also lists 2 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 14 Sep 2023.
