NCT03903471

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the performance of 22G-ProCore and 22G-Standard needle in diagnosis of mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy via EBUS-TBNA with the purpose to explore the optimal technique for obtaining diagnostic material.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Diagnostic yield of 22G-ProCore needle

    Diagnostic yield is defined as percentage of specimens in which diagnostic material is obtained.

    up to 6 months

  • Diagnostic yield of 22G-Standard needle

    Diagnostic yield is defined as percentage of specimens in which diagnostic material is obtained.

    up to 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The quality of histologic specimen used by 22G-ProCore needle

    up to 6 months

  • The quality of histologic specimen used by 22G-Standard needle

    up to 6 months

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Diagnostic yield of aspiration techniques

    up to 6 months

  • Diagnostic yield of different agitations

    up to 6 months

Study Arms (2)

22G-ProCore Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The experimental group with 22G-ProCore needle is expected to enroll 300 patients. The 22G-ProCore needle has a 1.5mm long groove 2.5mm above the needle tip, which is expected to have the advantage of taking more biopsy tissues than the 22G-Standard needle.

Device: 22G-ProCore Endobronchial Ultrasound Needle

22G-Standard Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The control group of 22G-Standard needle is expected to include 300 patients, and there is no groove above the needle tip compared with 22G-ProCore needle.

Device: 22G-Standard Endobronchial Ultrasound Needle

Interventions

EchoTip Procore® Endobronchial HD Ultrasound Biopsy Needle, COOK

22G-ProCore Group

EchoTip® Ultra Endobronchial High Definition Ultrasound Needle, COOK

22G-Standard Group

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Imaging examination indicates enlarged intrathoracic lymph nodes need pathological diagnosis (any lymph node has a short diameter \> 1 cm in CT or PET-CT SUV value \> 2.5).
  • Accessible mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy to EBUS-TBNA.
  • Inform consent signed.

You may not qualify if:

  • Contraindications of EBUS-TBNA. Such as use of anticoagulant therapy or presence of a coagulopathy (platelet count \< 50000 or INR \> 1.5).
  • Severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction and other indications that can't tolerate bronchoscopy.
  • Life expectancy less than 6 months.
  • Uncooperative patients.
  • Patients representing vulnerable populations (prisoners, pregnant women, etc).
  • Researchers consider it inappropriate to participate in this study.
