Brief summary
This study is a prospective, single-arm, single-centre, first-in-human clinical investigation evaluating the safety and feasibility of a new bronchoscopic ultrasound system for the survey and sampling of mediastinal and hilar lymph node stations in patients with confirmed or suspected lung cancer. Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 21 years or older and have a confirmed diagnosis of lung cancer or have been assessed by the Investigator as having a high clinical suspicion and indicated for staging lung cancer. Study details Participants will be sedated and undergo a standard bronchoscopic procedure. Survey of lymph node stations will be conducted using the investigational device, with sampling performed by conventional methods. Follow-up visits will be at 7 days (chart review only). All participants are monitored for adverse events and outcomes related to the procedure and device. It is hoped that findings from this study will help researchers and clinicians determine whether use of this new system is safe and feasible.

This clinical investigation is a prospective, single-arm, single-centre, first-in-human study designed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of a new endobronchial ultrasound system for the survey and sampling of mediastinal and hilar lymph node stations. The procedure is intended for patients with confirmed or suspected lung cancer who require lymph node staging; lymph node staging is a commonly performed and guideline recommended procedure to further characterize a patient’s lung cancer disease state. The study uses a new bronchoscopic ultrasound system, which integrates a live camera and ultrasound imaging to support surveying of lymph nodes. Conventional technology for staging is also delivered via bronchoscopy with ultrasound guided sampling. Lymph node stations will be surveyed and may be biopsied/sampled using the investigational device. Phase 1 participants will be limited to only survey with sampling performed using conventional/standard methods. All procedures are performed under general anaesthesia. The device is inserted via an airway access device and moved through the lungs by the physician according to navigation guidance provided by the study device to relevant lymph node stages for survey and/or sampling. The order of node assessment is at the clinician’s discretion. The full study procedure is expected to last approximately 30 mins to one hour. The procedure will take place in the bronchoscopy suite performed by qualified physicians which is similar to the practice for conventional lymph node staging. Representatives of the device manufacturer will be observing the procedure and will provide technical guidance regarding use of the device if needed. Participants will be followed up 7 days following the procedure by the study team. At the 7-Day Follow-up visit, which is aligned with the standard practice follow-up schedule for conventional staging procedures, the physician will discuss results with patients and will review their medical records.
