Combined Application of EBUS and EUS in Lung Cancer

October 17, 2012 updated by: National Cancer Center, Korea

Combined Application of EBUS-TBNA and EUS-B-FNA in Mediastinal Staging of Lung Cancer; EBUS-TBNA Centered Procedure vs. EUS-B-FNA Centered Procedure, a Randomized Study.

This study aims to investigate a diagnostic yield and performance characteristics according to the order of endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) and endoscopic ultrasound-with bronchoscope-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EUS-B-FNA) in the mediastinal staging of potentially operable lung cancer. EUS-FNA is a better tolerated procedure than EBUS-TBNA. Therefore, EUS-B-FNA can be the main procedure in a combined approach with EBUS-TBNA and EUS-B-FNA. In group A, the investigators perform EBUS-TBNA first and EUS-B-FNA is performed when necessary. In group B, EUS-B-FNA is first applied and EBUS-TBNA is performed when necessary. The hypothesis is that the diagnostic yield of the EUS centered procedure is as good as that of the EBUS centered procedure and the EUS centered procedure is more tolerable than the EBUS centered procedure. We evaluate diagnostic yields and performance characteristics of each group.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Diagnostic accuracy
Time Frame: When the confimative disgnosis is available in all subjects (after surgery) ; 8-12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
