Testing robotic bronchoscopy with combining lymph node checks
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing whether doing two different scope tests during the same procedure helps find lung cancer more quickly. The doctors will look at a lung nodule with a robot-assisted bronchoscope and also check nearby lymph nodes if they seem normal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a small spot (nodule) in the outer part of your lung that needs a robot-assisted scope test (bronchoscopy).
- You do NOT have any lymph nodes in your chest that look enlarged or show activity on a CT or PET scan before the test.
- You have not had surgery or radiation on that side of your lung before.
- You have not been told you already have lung cancer.

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 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 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 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.
This trial compares two types of robotic bronchoscopy (shape-sensing and electromagnetic) to see which works better for diagnosing lung lesions. You may be eligible if you're scheduled for this procedure.
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.
