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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study looked at whether the ultrasound patterns seen during a bronchoscopy (a scope down the throat) can help tell if enlarged lymph nodes in the chest are benign or malignant. Researchers studied 50 adults who already had a CT scan. The goal was to see if these patterns could guide where to biopsy, potentially making the procedure more accurate. The study is complete and focused on improving diagnosis, not on testing a new treatment.

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 help doctors better decide which lymph nodes to biopsy and where to sample, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study with only 50 participants. The findings may not apply to all patients or settings, and the technique is not a treatment itself.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years. * patients who underwent chest enhanced CT before EBUS-TBNA examination to assess the nature of mediastinal and hilar enlarged lymph nodes. Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindication to needle biopsy (e.g. use of anticoagulation drugs, bleeding diathesis). * Patients unfit for bronchoscopy and general anaesthesia by international guidelines. * Lymph Nodes that are not accessible or technically difficult by EBUS-TBNA e.g. Station 5,6.
