Testing a new tool to improve lung biopsy samples
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new tool used during a bronchoscopy (a lung exam with a thin, flexible tube) to see if it can get better biopsy samples. It may help if you need a lung or chest lymph node biopsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning to have a biopsy of your lung or lymph nodes in the chest.
- The biopsy is not an emergency procedure.

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 a new way to treat small lung cancers using a special tool during bronchoscopy (a scope down the windpipe). The goal is to see if the ablation (heat treatment) works well before the tumor is surgically removed.
This study checks whether it’s practical to do gene (DNA) testing on samples taken during EBUS-TBNA, a common breathing-tube biopsy used to stage lung cancer. If it works well, it could make genetic testing faster and easier for people with 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.
This study compares two ways to get a larger tissue sample from lymph nodes in the chest after a first small test confirmed cancer. The goal is to see which method provides better material for detailed genetic testing (next generation sequencing) that can guide treatment choices.
This study is testing a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that helps doctors look at tissue samples during a lung biopsy. The tool is meant to work alongside the doctor to see if it can provide faster or more helpful information while you are still in the procedure room.
