VBN-EBUS-GS-TBLB With or Without Fluoroscopy for the Diagnosis of PPLs

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Lung Cancer
Registration Number
NCT02484066
Lead Sponsor
Jiayuan Sun
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) and bronchial brushing by using virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) combined with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and a Guide Sheath (GS) for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) without radiographic fluoroscopy.

Detailed Description

The investigators evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) and bronchial brushing by using virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) combined with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and a Guide Sheath (GS) as a guide for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) without radiographic fluoroscopy.The study is designed as a three centers prospective randomized controlled trial.The participating centers are Department of endoscopy , Shanghai chest Hospital, Shanghai JiaoTong University, China. Department of endoscopy, National Cancer Center/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, China. Department of Respiratory Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, China. Patients are divided into two groups, VBN-EBUS-GS-X-ray group and VBN-EBUS-GS group. Each subject will be randomized to each group. The study is expected to enroll 436 patients at 3 centers.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The difference of diagnostic value of VBN-EBUS-GS-TBLB with fluoroscopy as compared to VBN-EBUS-GS-TBLBone year

The diagnostic value means sensitivity and specificity in two groups

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The difference of operation time of VBN-EBUS-GS-TBLB with fluoroscopy as compared to VBN-EBUS-GS-TBLBone year

The operation time includes total operation time,total GS time and total EBUS time

The difference of complications of VBN-EBUS-GS-TBLB with fluoroscopy as compared to VBN-EBUS-GS-TBLBone year

Complications mean a composite of operation-related serious adverse events (pneumothorax, bleeding, etc.) during and after the operation
