About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Diagnostic Yield Between Various Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided-transbronchial Needles (EBUS-TBN) to Evaluate Suspect Mediastinal and Hilar Lymph Nodes

Investigators intend to compare the 19-gauge needle and the 22-gauge-needle during EBUS-TBNA concerning the diagnostic yield, the quality and quantity of each biopsy needle without raising the rate of complications.

What participants receive

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

  • EBUSProcedure or surgery

    19G and 22G EBUS needles are compared in a randomized prospective way in lung cancer patients with enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes.

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?

sample weight (time frame: February 2017). 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 NCT02813603, 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 12 Jul 2018.
