What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at whether an extra cleaning step during a common lung cancer staging procedure (EBUS) can reduce contamination of tissue samples. Researchers will collect samples from 204 adults with suspected lung cancer. The goal is to see if better cleaning leads to more accurate staging, which guides treatment decisions. No extra procedures are needed—just an additional flush of the needle.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better guidelines for cleaning needles during lung cancer staging, reducing the chance of incorrect staging.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. It may find no benefit from extra cleaning, or the results may not apply to all patients.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 204 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Apr 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Aug 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 years or older * Patients undergoing standard-of-care EBUS bronchoscopy for evaluation of suspected lung malignancy * Patients undergoing sampling of 2 or more lymph node stations during EBUS bronchoscopy * Ability to provide informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Age less than 18 * Recent (1 month or less) radiation or procedural manipulation of lymph node stations that may significantly change lymph node architecture
