Real-time microscope for diagnosing peripheral lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special microscope attached to a bronchoscopy scope that helps doctors see lung tissue in real time. It may help identify whether a lung nodule is cancer more quickly and accurately during the same procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lung spot (nodule) between 10 and 30 mm seen on a CT scan.
- You're scheduled for a bronchoscopy (a tube with a camera) to test the nodule.
- You can understand and sign a consent form.
- You are not allergic to a special dye called fluorescein that is used during the test.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not on blood thinners that can't be paused, and you don't have severe oxygen or blood pressure problems.

This study tests a new way to get tissue samples from small lung nodules using a special scope and freezing technique. It may help diagnose cancer without more invasive procedures.
This trial uses a new, non-invasive way to screen for lung cancer by combining your breath, blood, and CT scan images. The goal is to figure out whether a nodule found on a CT scan is cancerous or not, which could help patients avoid unnecessary procedures.
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-like tool that helps doctors see lung spots more clearly during a biopsy. It may help get a more accurate diagnosis with fewer procedures.
This study tests a new microscope probe called CelTouch that doctors can use during a lung biopsy to see cells in real time, which may help diagnose lung lesions more accurately.
This trial tests a new camera tool (confocal laser endomicroscopy) that lets doctors see lung tissue in real-time during a biopsy procedure. The goal is to diagnose non-small cell lung cancer more quickly and safely than standard biopsies alone.
