Recruiting studies
- NCT06412289Recruiting
Ultrasound vs CT for lung biopsy accuracy
This study compares two ways to take a tissue sample (biopsy) from lung growths that sit against the chest wall: one using a CT scanner and the other using an ultrasound machine. The aim is to see which method is better at getting an accurate diagnosis.
FerraraAges 18–90 - NCT06563167Recruiting
Predicting air leaks after lung needle biopsy
This study is testing a way to predict serious air leaks (pneumothorax) after a lung needle biopsy. The goal is to find patterns that could help doctors know who might need a chest tube.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06752395Enrolling by invitation
Freezing vs. forceps biopsy for small lung nodules
This trial compares two ways of taking a tissue sample from a small lung nodule: traditional forceps (like tiny tweezers) versus a newer freezing method (cryobiopsy). It will help find out which technique is better at getting enough tissue for diagnosis with fewer side effects.
BusanAges 18 years+ - NCT06844344Recruiting
Testing cryo biopsies for lung lesions
This trial compares a new method called cryo biopsy to standard forceps biopsy for diagnosing lung lesions. It may help get better tissue samples with fewer procedures.
Næstved, Region SjællandAges 18 years+ - NCT06340178Recruiting
CT-guided lung biopsy risk reduction study
This trial uses a new method to make CT-guided lung biopsies safer. It may reduce complications for patients who need a lung biopsy for an unclear or suspicious spot.
BernAges 18–100 - NCT06824402Recruiting
Cryoprobe Biopsy for Chronic Rejection in Lung Transplant
This trial tests a new biopsy method called cryoprobe (using a cold probe) to better detect chronic rejection in lung transplant patients. It is for patients who already need a lung biopsy, either for routine monitoring or because of a concern.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–99 - NCT07500818Recruiting
Robot vs. standard scope for lung biopsy in ILD
This study compares a robotic-assisted bronchoscope to a conventional one for performing a lung biopsy (cryobiopsy) in people with interstitial lung disease. The goal is to see which method is better at getting enough tissue for a diagnosis.
Lucerne, Canton of LucerneAges Any age - NCT06923098Recruiting
PET/CT vs. CT for lung biopsy
This study compares two ways to guide a needle biopsy in people with suspected lung cancer: using a CT scan alone or using a combined PET/CT scan. The goal is to see which method better helps doctors get a clear diagnosis with fewer needle passes.
Bhubaneswar, OdishaAges 18 years+ - NCT00280202Recruiting
Find lung cancer genetic markers from tissue samples
This study looks for specific genetic markers of lung cancer by testing tissue taken from a lung mass. It may help doctors detect and better understand lung cancer based on genetic clues.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02812290Recruiting
Microarray testing during lung transplant biopsy
This study looks at using a special lab test (microarrays) on tissue taken during a lung transplant biopsy. It aims to learn how the test may help doctors better diagnose and guide care after transplant.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06776588Recruiting
Microwave ablation with biopsy for ground-glass lung cancer
This trial tests a treatment that uses heat (microwave ablation) to destroy ground-glass lung nodules while also taking a tissue sample (biopsy) to confirm the diagnosis. It's for people whose lung nodules are 3 cm or smaller and who cannot or choose not to have surgery.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–75 - NCT05384769Recruiting
Blood test for early lung cancer screening in high-risk people
This study checks whether a blood test (a liquid biopsy) can be used along with standard lung cancer screening to find lung cancer early in people at higher risk. It may help see if the blood test is practical and useful for screening—without needing symptoms.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 50–80 - NCT04944030Recruiting
Study collects health data for metastatic lung cancer patients
This study collects medical information and test results from people with lung cancer that has spread (or cannot be cured with local treatment). It does not test a new drug; it helps researchers better understand patients’ health and care needs over time.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT03387865Recruiting
Lung cancer database study for newly diagnosed patients
This study builds a detailed lung-cancer database by collecting clinical and lab information from people newly diagnosed. It aims to help doctors better understand lung cancer and how patients are treated from the start.
LilleAges Any age - NCT07649629Recruiting
Blood test to help diagnose advanced lung cancer
This study tests whether a blood test (liquid biopsy) can help doctors better understand your lung cancer and plan your treatment. You'll have a blood sample taken alongside standard biopsies to see if the blood test provides useful information about your cancer.
Roma, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT06679257Recruiting
Liquid biopsy for lung transplant damage classification
This study tests a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to detect and classify damage to a transplanted lung. It aims to find signs of rejection or injury earlier, which could help doctors treat problems sooner.
Gothenburg, Västra Götaland CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07255950Recruiting
Comparing lung biopsy methods for suspected lung cancer
This study compares two ways of doing a lung biopsy with a needle guided by ultrasound. It aims to see which method gives better samples for diagnosing lung cancer.
Yogyakarta, Special Region of YogyakartaAges 18 years+ - NCT07045103Recruiting
New imaging tool for faster lung cancer detection during bronchoscopy
This trial is testing a new imaging technology that uses artificial intelligence to help doctors quickly identify lung cancer during a standard bronchoscopy procedure. If you are scheduled for a lung biopsy to check for cancer, this study may help improve detection speed and accuracy.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT06997458Enrolling by invitation
Liquid biopsy study for advanced lung or colon cancer
This study is testing a simple blood draw (liquid biopsy) to track advanced lung or colon cancer. It may help doctors understand the cancer better without needing repeated tissue biopsies.
Granada, AndalusiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05469022RecruitingPhase 2
Lazertinib before lung surgery for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests whether taking lazertinib before surgery can shrink or control EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma that can be fully removed by an operation. It uses a special liquid biopsy from fluid in the lungs to confirm the EGFR mutation and guide treatment.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04775134Recruiting
Checking leftover COVID virus after recovery
This study looks for whether small amounts of the COVID virus are still present in the lungs after infection. It may help doctors understand how long the virus can remain and inform future care, using tissue removed during a medically needed lung procedure.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT07725510Recruiting
Comparing two special microscope techniques during lung biopsy
This study compares two advanced imaging methods (CLE and ROSE) used during a bronchoscopy to check lung samples right away. The goal is to see which technique better helps doctors get a clear diagnosis from a small lung nodule.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06128681Recruiting
Diagnosis and treatment of mediastinal problems
This study tests a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating problems in the mediastinum (the space between your lungs). It uses a bronchoscopy (a camera through the airway) to take a biopsy and possibly treat the area, all while you are under general anesthesia.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung biopsy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 69 recruiting lung biopsy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a lung biopsy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a lung biopsy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
