How this study is categorized
These labels come from structured fields and exact terms in the public record.
Who may be able to participate
The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.
- Subjects with known or suspected lung cancer with mediastinal adenopathy as defined by a mediastinal lymph node \>0.5 cm in short axis on EBUS or any lymph node with uptake on FDG-PET scan that is higher than background PET activity.
- Participants must lack bleeding disorders
- Subjects who lack fitness for flexible bronchoscopy as determined by the physician performing the bronchoscopy before the procedure
- Subjects with suspected sarcoidosis, lymphoma, or metastatic cancer from other sites (i.e. those without a known or suspected lung primary)
- Subjects on anticoagulation (other than Aspirin) whom cannot have their anticoagulation held for the procedure due to other clinical reasons (i.e. recent cardiac stent placement).
Important: This is the sponsor’s public criteria, not a determination of eligibility. The study team must review your individual situation.
