Comparing surveillance bronchoscopy to no surveillance after airway stenting
Official title: Surveillance Versus Prn bronChOscoPy aftEr aIrway stenTing (SCOPE-IT)
Run by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai · NCT06935695 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether regular check-ups with a bronchoscopy after getting airway stents can help patients manage their condition better than not having these check-ups.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adult patients who have undergone central airway stenting.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are terminally ill or have cognitive impairments may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This pilot study randomly assigns adult patients who have undergone central airway stenting to either receive surveillance bronchoscopy or not. The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of surveillance bronchoscopy in monitoring patients post-stenting. The study focuses on patients with tracheobronchial stents and assesses the outcomes related to airway management. By comparing these two approaches, the study seeks to determine the best follow-up care for patients with airway stents.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve post-stenting care and outcomes for patients with airway obstructions.
How similar studies have gone: Similar studies have explored bronchoscopy techniques, but this specific comparison of surveillance versus no surveillance is relatively novel.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * All adult patients that undergo central airway (trachea, main stem bronchi and bronchus intermedius) stenting. Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to obtain informed consent due to cognitive, neurologic or psychiatric impairment. * Lobar or segmental stents alone * Terminally ill patients considered too sick to undergo a follow-up surveillance bronchoscopy * Stent insertion as a trial for excessive central airway collapse (as the duration of these stents is only 1-2 weeks) * Patients with a tracheostomy (as these patients can undergo frequent in-line suctioning that can affect the outcomes being assessed)
