Study of bronchoscopy to diagnose lung spots
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study follows people who have lung “spots” that look like possible lung cancer and need a biopsy to figure out what they are. It uses a guided breathing-tube procedure to safely collect tissue so doctors can make a diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must agree in writing to take part in the study
- You must be an adult (19 years or older)
- You were seen for a lung spot that doctors suspect could be lung cancer
- Your care team plans a diagnostic biopsy using guided bronchoscopy
- You must be able to understand and cooperate with the procedure (or share your preferences)

This study tests a new microscope that quickly analyzes lung tissue during a bronchoscopy or surgery. It may help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions about your care.
This trial tests if a special microscope (confocal laser endomicroscopy) used during a bronchoscopy can help doctors see and diagnose suspicious lung spots more clearly. It may help you if you have a small-to-medium sized spot in your lung that needs a biopsy.
This study looks at “biomarkers” (measurable signals in samples) taken during bronchoscopy or related procedures in people with severe airway pre-cancer or certain lung/throat cancers, and in healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand what these biomarkers mean and how they might help with diagnosis, staging, or monitoring.
This study uses a special eye-like scanning camera (full-field optical coherence tomography) to look at tiny lung tissue samples taken during routine bronchoscopy. It may help doctors learn more from small biopsies used to diagnose or stage lung problems.
This trial looks at “cough capture” samples to better understand what is happening in the lungs. You might be eligible if you’re having a bronchoscopy for medical reasons and don’t already have lung cancer.
This study looks at special lab tests (molecular analysis) done on liquid taken during a bronchoscopy to better understand lung nodules. It may help doctors learn more about what these nodules are, using samples from the procedure.
