Trial summary

The use of an ultrathin bronchoscope (UB) has recently been introduced in the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions. The use of the UB can be supported by navigation systems such as fluoroscopy, ultrasound guidance, electromagnetic navigation, or other technologies, which have complementary potential.

Study population: Sequential screening aimed at recruitment. Enrollment of patients undergoing diagnostic bronchoscopy.

Who may be able to join

  • Candidate for a diagnostic procedure for a new peripheral lung lesion or re-biopsy;
  • Tissue sampling of the peripheral lesion performed only with UB;

  • Tissue sampling on the same peripheral lesion using an instrument of a different caliber in replacement or in association;
  • Any other significant illness or disorder that, in the investigator's opinion, may put the patient at risk due to study participation.

About this study

The use of an ultrathin bronchoscope (UB) has recently been introduced in the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions. The use of the UB can be supported by navigation systems such as fluoroscopy, ultrasound guidance, electromagnetic navigation, or other technologies, which have complementary potential. Further navigation techniques are still under study. The use of ultrathin instrumentation has already been shown to significantly reduce procedural times compared to traditional instrumentation.

The purpose of the study is to prospectively evaluate the institutional experience of different third-level hospital centers with the use of a UB (MP190F; Olympus Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan) for sampling peripheral lung lesions by means of transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) or transbronchial biopsy (TBB), performed after fluoroscopic navigation and simultaneous radial probe-endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS) assessment.

Design: multicentric, observational study.

Being tested
Ultrathin bronchoscopy (MP190F; Olympus Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan)
Keywords
NSCLC, Lung nodule
Medical subject headings
Lung Neoplasms, Lung Diseases, Tuberculosis, Pulmonary, Adenocarcinoma of Lung

What participants receive

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

  • Ultrathin bronchoscopy (MP190F; Olympus Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan)Device

    Fluoroscopy + RP-EBUS and consecutive lesion sampling by TBNA and/or TBB

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the overall diagnostic accuracy

    Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value

    Measured: Within 12 months from the procedure

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Agreement between the definitive pathological result and the rapid on-site evaluation (R.O.S.E.)

    Comparison (% of concordant and % of discordant results) between R.O.S.E. (performed during the procedure by the pulmonologist or by the pathologist) and the final result obtained after the evaluation (by the pathologist) of the samples taken.

    Measured: Within 15 days from the procedure

  2. Evaluation of patient satisfaction at the end of the procedure (Likert scale in relation to the memory of the procedure and the willingness to repeat it in the future.)

    Patients will undergo two satisfaction questionnaires, set according to Likert scale, at the end of the endoscopic procedure.

    Measured: Same day of the procedure

  3. Correlation between the type of anesthesia, the characteristics of the lesion, the procedural dynamics and diagnostic accuracy

    Measured: Within 12 months from the procedure

  4. Correlation between the type of anesthesia, the characteristics of the lesion, the procedural dynamics and patient satisfaction

    Correlations will be made between the anesthetic, radiological and procedural parameters with respect to the answers obtained in the satisfaction questionnaires.

    Measured: Same day of the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Lung; Node, run by Azienda Sanitaria-Universitaria Integrata di Udine at 3 sites in Italy.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Italy. 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 Alberto Fantin (0432-552550, alberto.fantin@asufc.sanita.fvg.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate the overall diagnostic accuracy (time frame: Within 12 months from the 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 2 Feb 2024.
