Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Trial of Bronchoscopy With Ultrathin Bronchoscope and Radial Endobronchial Ultrasound (R-EBUS) With Fluoroscopy Versus Standard Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy (FB) With Fluoroscopy for Biopsy of Pulmonary Lesions
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Standard FB with fluoroscopy and R-EBUS with ultrathin bronchoscope for Pulmonary Lesions and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 339 participants across 5 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the yield of two methods for obtaining a lung tissue sample: Procedure #1: standard fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FB) with fluoroscopy, and Procedure #2: ultrathin bronchoscope procedure with fluoroscopy and radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS). These two procedures are similar in that they both: (1) enable your doctor to look inside your lungs with a device called a bronchoscope, and (2) Use fluoroscopy, which is a technique that uses X-rays to see your lungs. This will give the doctor an opportunity to use either of the bronchoscopy methods described above and compare the tests to see if R-EBUS provides better results than standard bronchoscopy.
