Lung biopsy guidance trial using EB-OCT imaging
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new imaging tool called EB-OCT to help guide lung biopsies. It may help doctors take better tissue samples during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a lung biopsy to check for or treat lung cancer.
- You are 21 years old or older.
- You are able to understand and agree to the study plan.
- If you could become pregnant, you must have a negative pregnancy test before the procedure and not be nursing.

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 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 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 looks at using a scope with an ultrasound tip (EBUS-TBNA) to take small tissue samples from lymph nodes to figure out the cancer stage before stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). The goal is to help confirm how far the cancer has spread so SBRT can be planned appropriately.
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 trial tests a new combination of a special scope (CLE) with a freezing biopsy tool to see if it can better diagnose lung spots found on CT scans. It may help you get a clearer diagnosis with fewer risks.
