About this study

The goal of this prospective, multi-centre, randomised controlled clinical study is to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and safety of nCLE guided lung biopsy in patients with for peripheral lung nodules under the assistance of navigation bronchoscopy (NB) and radial endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS), and assess whether the biopsy techniques, namely transbronchial crybiopsy (TBCB) and transbronchial forceps biopsy (TBFB), would influence the diagnostic efficacy and safety of nCLE guided biopsy.

Participants will divided into nCLE-NB-rEBUS-forcep biopsy group, nCLE-NB-rEBUS-TBCB group, NB-rEBUS-forcep biopsy group, and NB-rEBUS-TBCB group at a 1:1:1:1 ratio by using central, computerized random sequence, and then undertake nCLE-NB-rEBUS-forcep biopsy, nCLE-NB-rEBUS-TBCB, NB-rEBUS-forcep biopsy, and NB-rEBUS-TBCB according to the group.

Researchers will compare the diagnostic yield and incidence of adverse events of the four biopsy techniques.

What is being measured

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

  1. diagnostic yield of lung forcep biopsy and TBCB under guidance of nCLE-NB-rEBUS

    The proportion of participants in whom the biopsy led to a definitive diagnosis.

    Measured: 7 days after the biopsy

  2. Sensitivity of lung forcep biopsy and TBCB under guidance of nCLE-NB-rEBUS

    The proportion of participants of lung cancer in whom the biopsy led to a definitive diagnosis .

    Measured: 7 days after the biopsy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Incidence rate of adverse events

    Symptoms and signs

    Measured: 7 days after the biopsy

  2. the adequacy of sample acquisition

    Samples resulting in a specific diagnosis or samples with the presence of lymphpcytes were considered as adequate.

    Measured: 7 days after the biopsy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing nCLE-NB-rEBUS-forcep biopsy, nCLE-NB-rEBUS-TBCB and NB-rEBUS-forcep biopsy in people with Lung Cancer, Non-Small Cell and Lung Cancer, Small Cell, run by China-Japan Friendship Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 11 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Dec 2024. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hou Gang, MD (010-84205729, hougangcmu@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

diagnostic yield of lung forcep biopsy and TBCB under guidance of nCLE-NB-rEBUS (time frame: 7 days after the biopsy). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Dec 2024.
