A Trial of Radial EBUS Versus VBN for the Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions

February 5, 2024 updated by: Ilya Sivokozov

Multicenter, Open-label, Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial of Radial Endobronchial Ultrasonography and Virtual Bronchoscopy Navigation for the Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions

Peripheral pulmonary lesions are of growing importance in respiratory field. Early detection of lung cancer, tuberculosis and other diseases often needs a bronchoscopic investigation with different types of navigation. Current randomized clinical study is intended to compare three different modalities of navigation in bronchial tree - virtual bronchoscopy (VBN), radial endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and combination of both techniques.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Current randomized clinical study is intended to compare three different modalities of navigation in bronchial tree - virtual bronchoscopy, radial EBUS and combination of both techniques. Around 300 patients with incidentally detected peripheral pulmonary lesions will be enrolled in 9 centers among Russia. All patients after obtaining an informed consent will be randomized in 1:1:1 fashion to three study groups depending on type of navigation technique used. All patients will undergone navigational bronchoscopy with rEBUS (group A), VBN (group B) and rEBUS+VBN (group C), data on diagnostic efficacy and safety of each modality of navigation will be analyzed.
