Prospective Cohort of Diagnostic Bronchoscopy for Peripheral Lung Lesions

May 8, 2024 updated by: Yeon Wook Kim, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital

Korean Multicenter Prospective Cohort of Diagnostic Bronchoscopy for Peripheral Lung Lesions

The primary objective is To evaluate the usefulness and safety of advanced guided bronchoscopy for histological diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions.

The Secondary objective is to establish a strategy that can most effectively use endoscopes for early diagnosis of lung cancer in a real-world care environment by identifying patient/clinical/image/procedure-related characteristics that can optimize the practicality of emerging technologies.

Detailed Description

  • Patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions who need histological diagnosis due to suspected lung cancer and whose lesions are judged capable of histological examination through guided bronchoscopy will be prospectively recruited.
  • This study is a pure non-interventional pragmatic design. In addition to biopsy for lung lesions using bronchoscopy, lung cancer staging and tests necessary for metastases and treatment for diagnosed lung cancer are performed according to existing guidelines and the judgment of medical staff.
  • We will analyze the clinical characteristics of guided bronchoscopy procedures used in clinical practice and the main results during the follow-up period of up to one year (diagnostic yield, sensitivity, safety, practicality, and various factors affecting usefulness).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Diagnostic yield at index
Time Frame: Upon reports of pathologic results (up to 2 weeks after bronchoscopy)
The proportion of pathologic results that leads to a specific malignant or benign
Upon reports of pathologic results (up to 2 weeks after bronchoscopy)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sensitivity for malignancy
Time Frame: Confirmed by follow-up results at 1 year
True positive/Confirmed malignancy cases
Confirmed by follow-up results at 1 year
Diagnostic accuracy at 12 months
Time Frame: Confirmed by follow-up results at 1 year

True positive + True negative (confirmed benign with follow-up of at least 1yr without progression) / Total procedures

Pathologic results of a malignant or benign specific diagnosis based on the samples collected via index ENB procedure are categorized as true positives or true negatives.

For pathologic results of a benign non-specific diagnosis and non-diagnostic results, follow-up data would be used to determine whether the 12-month status corroborates the benign results. Based on definition scenarios, these results will be determined as true negatives or false negatives. Diagnostic yields based on different scenarios will be reported.

Confirmed by follow-up results at 1 year
Complication
Time Frame: Confirmed by follow-up results at 1 year
Evaluate complications due to guided bronchoscopic biopsy
Confirmed by follow-up results at 1 year
