Arm Label

CT-guided lung biopsy

Template-guided lung biopsy

Arm Description

Participants in this arm received conventional CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy.

Three-dimensionally printed navigational template was designed based on the CT scan images acquired before the biopsy. Under the guidance of navigational template, percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy was conducted.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Diagnostic yield of percutaneous transthoracic fine-needle aspiration
A percutaneous transthoracic fine-needle aspiration procedure was considered diagnostic if a malignant or specific benign diagnosis of the lesion was made. The ratio of diagnostic cases to all the participants who received the corresponding biopsy was considered as diagnostic yield.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Diagnostic sensitivity of percutaneous transthoracic fine-needle aspiration
All biopsy results that showed lung cancer were considered true positives (TP). For participants who had a nondiagnostic (intermediate or indeterminate) result from the first lung biopsy (fine-needle aspiration), subsequent diagnostic modalities including a re-biopsy, transbronchial needle aspiration or a 12-month follow-up was conducted to determine the final diagnosis. If any of these modalities demonstrated malignant, the case was considered a false negative (FN). Diagnostic sensitivity of the fine-needle aspiration procedure for lung cancer was defined as TP / (TP + FN).
Procedural duration
The length of procedural duration was measured from the time a patient lain on the examining bed of the CT scanner to the time the first CT scan post fine-needle biopsy was conducted.
Radiation exposure
The dosage of the radiation exposure the participant received during the process of fine-needle aspiration.
Complication rate
Complication post fine-needle aspiration was evaluated by the first CT scan images post biopsy. Common complications include pneumothorax, pulmonary hemorrhage and hemoptysis. Complications needed further interventions were specially recorded.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled study to evaluate the diagnostic yield and safety of three-dimensionally printed navigational template in percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy.
Detailed Description
The feasibility of three-dimensionally printed navigational template-guided percutaneous transthoracic fine-needle aspiration was validated by a phase I study. To further investigate the non-inferiority of navigational template-guided lung biopsy to conventional CT-guided modality in terms of diagnostic yield, this prospective, randomized, controlled, noninferiority trial was conducted.

Arm Description
Participants in this arm received conventional CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy.
Arm Title
Template-guided lung biopsy
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Description
Three-dimensionally printed navigational template was designed based on the CT scan images acquired before the biopsy. Under the guidance of navigational template, percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy was conducted.
Intervention Type
Other
Intervention Name(s)
CT-guided lung biopsy
Intervention Description
Percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy was conducted stepwise under the real-time guidance of CT scan. This kind of modality served as an effective method for diagnosing peripheral lung lesions (all of the participants received fine-needle aspiration, some of them received coaxial needle biopsy as well, according to the pulmonologist's instruction).
Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Template-guided lung biopsy
Intervention Description
A three-dimensional model consisting of participant's thoracic image information was initially reconstructed based on the CT scan data. Afterwards, a navigational template was customized, which accommodated well to the anatomical landmarks of the participant. The template was then printed by means of stereolithography from photopolymer material. Participants would receive navigational template-guided percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy (all of the participants received fine-needle aspiration, some of them received coaxial needle biopsy as well, according to the pulmonologist's instruction).
Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Diagnostic yield of percutaneous transthoracic fine-needle aspiration
Description
A percutaneous transthoracic fine-needle aspiration procedure was considered diagnostic if a malignant or specific benign diagnosis of the lesion was made. The ratio of diagnostic cases to all the participants who received the corresponding biopsy was considered as diagnostic yield.
Time Frame
Three to four working days post-biopsy were needed to establish the diagnosis of the cytological specimens acquired by fine-needle aspiration.
Secondary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Diagnostic sensitivity of percutaneous transthoracic fine-needle aspiration
Description
All biopsy results that showed lung cancer were considered true positives (TP). For participants who had a nondiagnostic (intermediate or indeterminate) result from the first lung biopsy (fine-needle aspiration), subsequent diagnostic modalities including a re-biopsy, transbronchial needle aspiration or a 12-month follow-up was conducted to determine the final diagnosis. If any of these modalities demonstrated malignant, the case was considered a false negative (FN). Diagnostic sensitivity of the fine-needle aspiration procedure for lung cancer was defined as TP / (TP + FN).
Time Frame
If an eventual diagnosis was attained by means of follow-up, a 12-month assessment was needed.

Procedural duration
Description
The length of procedural duration was measured from the time a patient lain on the examining bed of the CT scanner to the time the first CT scan post fine-needle biopsy was conducted.
Time Frame
15 mins post biopsy
Title
Radiation exposure
Description
The dosage of the radiation exposure the participant received during the process of fine-needle aspiration.
Time Frame
15 mins post biopsy
Title
Complication rate
Description
Complication post fine-needle aspiration was evaluated by the first CT scan images post biopsy. Common complications include pneumothorax, pulmonary hemorrhage and hemoptysis. Complications needed further interventions were specially recorded.
Time Frame
Real-time complication post biopsy indicates those recognized by the immediate CT scan, while delayed complication indicates those recognized by radiograph taken 4-6 hours post biopsy.
