Comparing Robotic vs. Ultrathin Bronchoscopy for Lung Nodules
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a lung nodule that needs to be biopsied (tissue sample taken)
- You are healthy enough to undergo a bronchoscopy
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow the study schedule

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 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.
This trial compares a new thin bronchoscope with an ultrathin one to see which is better at diagnosing small lung nodules found on chest imaging. It may help you avoid more invasive procedures.
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 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.
