New method to diagnose lung nodules
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special bronchoscopy technique called SD-RAB to biopsy small lung nodules found on a CT scan. The goal is to see if this method can safely diagnose these nodules without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You have a lung nodule between 8 mm and 30 mm seen on a CT scan of your chest.
- Your doctor suspects the nodule might be cancer.
- You need a biopsy that does not require surgery.
- You must be willing to follow the study rules and sign a consent form.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests whether a hand-drawn navigation method works as well as a virtual navigation system to help doctors reach lung nodules during a bronchoscopy. If you have a lung nodule that is hard to reach with standard tools, this trial may help find the best approach to get a tissue sample.
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 tests a new way to find and remove small lung nodules using a robot-guided camera to mark the nodule with dye, then a video-assisted surgery to remove it. It may help patients whose nodules are hard to locate during surgery.
This trial tests an AI system that helps guide a robotic bronchoscope to lung nodules. It may help doctors find and localize nodules more accurately during the procedure.
