Robot-assisted lung biopsy for suspicious lung spots
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if a remote-controlled robotic bronchoscope can safely and reliably take tissue samples from hard-to-reach spots in the lung. If you have a suspicious lung nodule that needs a biopsy, this study may help determine whether the robot-based approach works as well as standard bronchoscopy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a lung nodule in the outer part of the lung (past the main breathing tubes) that needs a biopsy.
- You agree to undergo a bronchoscopy and can follow the study schedule.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy.
- You have no metal or active electronic implants (like a pacemaker or defibrillator).

This trial uses a robotic bronchoscope combined with special X-ray imaging (CBCT) to help diagnose lung nodules in people living with HIV. It aims to improve accuracy and safety when sampling suspicious lung spots.
This trial studies a new surgical robot that uses only one small opening in the chest to remove a lung segment or lobe. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for patients who need this type of surgery.
This trial tests a robotic procedure to safely take a sample from and treat small suspicious lung nodules without surgery. It may help patients who cannot or do not want traditional surgery or radiation therapy.
This trial uses a robot-assisted bronchoscope to take tissue samples from lung nodules. It may help diagnose lung cancer or other conditions without major surgery.
This study tests a new computer-assisted system to help guide a needle biopsy of lung nodules. It aims to make the procedure more precise and safe when a nodule is suspicious for cancer.
This trial compares two types of bronchoscopy (thin-tube lung camera) methods to see which one better samples lung nodules. You may be able to join if you have a suspicious lung nodule and need a biopsy.
