Robot-assisted stent placement for airway narrowing from cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a robot-assisted bronchoscope system to place stents in the airway narrowed by cancer. Stents are tiny tubes that hold the airway open to make breathing easier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have airway narrowing caused by cancer that cannot be treated with surgery or you choose not to have surgery.
- Your doctor has confirmed you need an airway stent placed using a bronchoscope.
- You are willing and able to have the stent placed under general anesthesia.
- You do not have severe heart, lung, liver, or kidney problems that make bronchoscopy risky.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy during the study.

This trial tests a procedure to open a narrowed airway using a silicone stent. It may help people who have trouble breathing or frequent lung infections due to a blockage in the windpipe.
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 studies a computer-planned, custom-made 3D stent to open up narrow, blocked areas of the main airway near the chest. It may help reduce breathing trouble and cough, and prevent complications from the blockage.
This study tests a robotic system to help doctors place stents in blocked heart arteries. It may offer a less invasive and more precise treatment option.
This trial compares two types of robot-assisted lung surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. One method uses a fully robotic setup, and the other involves the surgeon helping with part of the procedure. The goal is to see which approach works better for patients.
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.
