Trial summary

The study aims to determine if there are defining EBUS and confocal endoscopy features as well as exhaled alveolar gas VOC that can discriminate malignant pulmonary nodules or masses from benign etiology, thereby obviating unnecessary thoracotomy. Read more about this study

About this study

The study aims to determine if there are defining EBUS and confocal endoscopy features as well as exhaled alveolar gas VOC that can discriminate malignant pulmonary nodules or masses from benign etiology, thereby obviating unnecessary thoracotomy. Directly sampled alveolar gas VOC from patients with lung cancer will be compared against exhaled breath VOC for signature compounds that may complement CT in screening the population at risk.

Read the detailed description

AIMS

  1. To improve diagnostic yield of pulmonary nodule or mass by using combined approach of navigation bronchoscopy and EBUS.
  2. To determine if characteristic features of EBUS and confocal microendoscopy exist as well as VOC patterns in alveolar and exhaled gas that can aid in discriminating malignant pulmonary nodule or mass from benign etiology by correlating with pathology.
  3. To identify VOC patterns specific for lung cancer by correlating VOC from directly sampled alveolar gas and exhaled breath with pathology. Exhaled breath VOC signature may complement CT in screening population at risk.

What participants receive

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

  • Olympus Ultrathin Bronchofibervideoscope (XP260F)Device

    Also called Olympus Lucera Broncho Fibervideoscope (BF-XP260F)

    The bronchovideoscope will be used together with an assisted image-guided bronchoscopic navigation software system called LungPoint®, to view lungs in a real time 3D manner.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlating pathology between EBUS, confocal microendoscopy and VOC patterns to aid in characterising malignant and benign etiology.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlating pathology between EBUS, confocal microendoscopy and VOC patterns to aid in characterising malignant and benign etiology.. 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 NCT01739881, which also lists 12 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.
