About this study

Official title: Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy in the Diagnosis of Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions

The purpose of the study is to describe confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) interpretation criteria for different types of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs), with histopathological correlation, and to perform the validation of these criteria.

Read the detailed description

CLE is a modern imaging technique that uses an excitation laser light to create real-time microscopic images of tissues. During transbronchial lung biopsy, CLE has the potential to provide real-time non-invasive diagnosis of PPLs ("optical biopsy"). In this study, we will obtain CLE images within the target lesion before taking a biopsy during transbronchial lung biopsy of PPLs. We will compare the results of the "optical biopsy" with the corresponding histopathological results and develop CLE interpretation criteria for different types of PPLs. In addition, we will perform the validation of these criteria to evaluate the ability of CLE to discriminate between benign and malignant PPLs.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT06457087
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients with peripheral pulmonary lesionsA total of 150 patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be prospectively enrolled, of which 100 patients will be used for the development of CLE interpretation criteria, and 50 patients will be used for the validation of the criteria.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of CLE in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant PPLs

    Diagnostic accuracy is defined as the number of lesions correctly identified as malignant or benign using our proposed CLE interpretation criteria divided by the total number of lesions.

    Measured: 6 months post-procedure

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Sensitivity, specificity of CLE in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant PPLs

    Sensitivity is defined as the number of lesions correctly identified as malignant using our proposed CLE interpretation criteria divided by the total number of malignant lesions. Specificity is defined as the number of lesions correctly identified as benign using our proposed CLE interpretation criteria divided by the total number of benign lesions.

    Measured: 6 months post-procedure

  2. positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of CLE in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant PPLs

    The positive predictive value is the percentage of true malignant lesions among all lesions identified as malignant using our proposed CLE interpretation criteria. The negative predictive value is the percentage of true benign lesions among all lesions identified as benign using our proposed CLE interpretation criteria.

    Measured: 6 months post-procedure

  3. Diagnostic accuracy of CLE in differential diagnosis of different types of PPLs

    Different types of PPLs include different types of common malignant PPLs (e.g., adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, small cell lung carcinoma, etc.) and different types of common benign PPLs (e.g., inflammation, tuberculosis, fungal infection, etc.). Diagnostic accuracy is defined as the number of lesions correctly identified as a specific disease using our proposed CLE interpretation criteria divided by the total number of lesions.

    Measured: 6 months post-procedure

  4. Incidence of complications

    Complications mean a composite of procedure related adverse advents during and after the operation.

    Measured: 1 month post-procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions, run by Shanghai Chest Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 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 Jun 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 China. 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 Jiayuan Sun (+86-021-22200000 ext. 1511, jysun1976@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic accuracy of CLE in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant PPLs (time frame: 6 months post-procedure). 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 14 Jun 2024.
