Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patient must be >/= 18 years old.
  • Patient must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)/Zubrod status 0-2.
  • Patient must have proven or suspected NSCLC (squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, or large cell) and be clinical Stage I or II, according to the 1998 staging system of the American Joint Commission on Cancer for lung cancer (T1-3 N0, T1-2 N1).
  • Patient must be eligible for definitive surgical therapy for primary NSCLC.
  • Patient or the patient's legally acceptable representative must provide written informed consent prior to registration and any study-related procedures.
  • If the patient is a survivor of a prior invasive cancer, all of the following criteria must apply: a. Patient has undergone potentially curative therapy for all prior malignancies. b. No evidence of active / recurrent disease.
  • All females of childbearing age must have a negative pregnancy test before beginning the study.

Who cannot join

  • Patient has received prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy for this cancer.
  • Patient is considered a poor risk for surgery due to non-malignant systemic disease (cardiovascular, renal, etc.) that would preclude the treatment options.
  • Patient has contraindication to either endobronchial ultrasound or mediastinoscopy such as: history of bleeding diathesis, latex allergy, mediastinoscopy, mediastinal nodal resection, tracheostomy.
  • Patients malignancy consistent with well differentiated (carcinoid) neuroendocrine histology.
  • Patient has two separate same histology lung tumors (where the question of two separate primaries or metastatic disease makes definitive clinical staging inaccurate).
  • Females who are pregnant and/or lactating.

About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Utility of Endobronchial Ultrasound Guided Mediastinal Lymph Node Sampling in Clinical Stage I and II Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how accurately an endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS -TBNA) may detect mediastinal lymph node metastases in patients with clinical stage I and II non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Read the detailed description

Study Procedures:

A procedure called EBUS-TBNA has been developed that might allow doctors to get samples of lymph glands without performing an operation. The standard practice is a surgical operation called a mediastinoscopy. If researchers find out that EBUS-TBNA is as accurate as mediastinoscopy, it may mean that patients with lung cancer can avoid having surgery or will be able to get treatment before surgery.

EBUS-TBNA:

If you agree to take part in this study, you will first have an EBUS-TBNA. This will be performed on an out-patient basis under general anesthetic. The doctor will examine your lungs for suspicious lymph glands with an ultrasound, and then will take a sample of tissue from the lymph gland. This will be done using a flexible scope called a bronchoscope that can be passed into the windpipe. The lymph glands around the wind pipe can be seen and then removed with a small needle. The procedure should take about 1 hour.

Researchers will then analyze the lymph glands that were removed. Depending on whether or not the lymph glands have cancer in them, your doctor will then recommend the most appropriate therapy for you. This may include mediastinoscopy or some other appropriate therapy.

All the data for the study will be stored with a password protected system.

Length of Study:

Your participation in this study will be over after you have completed EBUS-TBNA.

This is an investigational study. EBUS-TBNA is FDA approved for this procedure.

Up to 120 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with False Negative Rate Using EBUS Guided Mediastinal Lymph Node Biopsy

    False negative rate estimated using EBUS guided mediastinal lymph node biopsy following a negative positron emission tomography (PET) scan with a 90% credible interval.

    Measured: Patient participation 1 hour to complete EBUS-TBNA

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing EBUS-TBNA in people with Lung Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 7 inclusion and 6 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 Jul 2016. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Number of Participants with False Negative Rate Using EBUS Guided Mediastinal Lymph Node Biopsy (time frame: Patient participation 1 hour to complete EBUS-TBNA). 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 Jul 2016.
