NCT04727190

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the difference of efficacy and safety between transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) and transbronchial forceps biopsy (TBFB) in the diagnosis of lung ground-glass opacity.

Procedure: Transbronchial Cryobiopsy

TBFB group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Specimens were obtained using 1.5 mm or 1.9 mm biopsy forceps with or without guide sheath by bronchoscope.

Procedure: Transbronchial Forceps Biopsy

Interventions

The eligible patient will be randomized to TBCB group to receive transbronchial cryobiopsy.

TBCB group

TBFB group

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male or female aged between 18 and 80.
  • CT or other imaging examination suggest a tendency towards malignant GGO (size ≥ 8 mm). The ground glass composition is more than 50%.
  • Thin-slice CT scan with bronchial access or adjacent lesions.
  • Multidisciplinary assessment suggest that bronchopulmonary biopsy is needed to identify the pathological features of GGO.
  • It is suitable for pathological biopsy by transbronchial cryobiopsy or forceps biopsy.
  • Ability to read, understand and sign ICF.

You may not qualify if:

  • Disseminated GGO, suspected of benign or infectious lesions.
  • Preoperative imaging examination showed that the biopsy lesion was adjacent to the middle or large vessels.
  • There are contraindications for bronchoscopy, such as irreparable coagulation dysfunction, severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency.
  • Intolerance or difficulty in cooperating with bronchoscopy, etc.
  • Routine bronchoscopic abnormalities, such as endoscopic lesions, external pressure, mucosal lesions, stenosis, hemorrhage, etc.
  • Vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women, etc.
  • Some other special situations investigator consider subjects are not suitable to participant in this study.
