About this study

Official title: Minimally Invasive Mediastinal Staging of Potentially Operable Lung Cancer With Endobronchial Ultrasound Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration(EBUS-TBNA) and Transesophageal Aspiration Using Ultrasonic Bronchoscope (EUS-B-FNA)

The purpose of this study is to find a role of EUS-B-FNA in the mediastinal staging of potentially operable lung cancer. The investigators perform EBUS-TBNA and EUS-B-FNA on potentially operable lung cancer patients. The investigators perform EBUS(+/- TBNA) and EUS-B (ultrasonographic examination through the esophagus) on all subjects. EUS-B-FNA will be performed on inaccessible nodes or difficult nodes to be sampled by EBUS-TBNA. Additional diagnostic values of EUS-B-FNA as compared to EBUS-TBNA alone will be estimated.

What participants receive

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

  • EBUS-TBNA, EUS-B-FNA (EUS-FNA with bronchoscope)Procedure or surgery

    EBUS-TBNA is a bronchoscopic diagnostic method that enables real time aspiration of paratracheal and peribronchial lesions. EUS-FNA is a procedure to obtain samples through the esophagus under real-time ultrasound guidance. In this study, EUS-FNA will be applied using a ultrasonic bronchoscope (EUS-B-FNA).

What is being measured

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

  1. The diagnostic values of EBUS-TBNA plus EUS-B-FNA as compared to EBUS-TBNA alone

    Measured: June 2009

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The Proportion and the location of lymph nodes accessible by EBUS-TBNA and EUS-B-FNA.

    Measured: June 2009

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EBUS-TBNA, EUS-B-FNA (EUS-FNA with bronchoscope) in people with Lung Cancer, run by National Cancer Center, Korea 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 2 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 24 Jun 2009. 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 diagnostic values of EBUS-TBNA plus EUS-B-FNA as compared to EBUS-TBNA alone (time frame: June 2009). 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 NCT00741247, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 Jun 2009.
