Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle-Aspiration With Suction in Obtaining Samples From Patients With Suspected Nodal Metastatic Lung Cancer

Study summary

This trial studies how well endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle-aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) with suction works in obtaining samples from patients with suspected lung cancer that has spread to the nodal. EBUS-TBNA samples obtained with additional suction may help to improve material-amounts and decrease blood contamination in the samples.

Public criteria

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.

Requirements people may need to meetInclusion criteria
  • Computed tomography (CT)-scan finding suspicious for lung cancer with nodal metastases
  • Clinically stable to undergo diagnostic workup by bronchoscopy with endobronchial ultrasound
Reasons someone may not be able to joinExclusion criteria
  • Pregnant female
  • Minors
  • Prisoners
  • Patients with contraindication for EBUS such as non-reversible anticoagulation

Important: This is the sponsor’s public criteria, not a determination of eligibility. The study team must review your individual situation.
