NCT07459569
Diagnostic Performance and Safety of Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Mediastinal Cryobiopsy in Diagnosing Tuberculous Mediastinal Lymphadenitis: a Randomised Controlled Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the diagnostic efficacy and safety of Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Mediastinal Cryobiopsy (EBUS-TBMC) versus standard EBUS-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in adult patients with suspected mediastinal lymph node tuberculosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does EBUS-TBMC provide a superior diagnostic yield for detecting granulomatous inflammation compared to EBUS-TBNA in the same target lymph node? Does the cryopreservation process affect the viability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis for culture, and does the larger tissue sample obtained via EBUS-TBMC enhance the sensitivity of molecular tests such as Xpert MTB/RIF? Is the safety profile of EBUS-TBMC, particularly regarding bleeding complications, comparable to that of EBUS-TBNA in this patient population? Researchers will compare the two biopsy techniques using a paired design within the same patient to see if EBUS-TBMC results in higher rates of positive pathology, microbiology, and molecular diagnoses. Participants will: Undergo both EBUS-TBNA and EBUS-TBMC procedures on the same mediastinal lymph node during a single bronchoscopy session, with the order of procedures randomized. Provide blood and tissue samples for comprehensive testing, including histology, mycobacterial culture, and Xpert MTB/RIF assay. Complete short-term (within 2 hours post-procedure) and 7-day follow-up assessments to monitor for any adverse events. Participate in a 6-month clinical follow-up to establish a final diagnosis, which will serve as the reference standard for evaluating the diagnostic tests.
