New light tool for airway exams
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a special light device used during a lung airway exam (bronchoscopy) to help doctors see and biopsy growths more clearly. It might help people who are already scheduled for a bronchoscopy because of a spot on their chest x-ray or CT scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years of age or older
- Have a spot on your chest imaging that could be cancer and needs a scope exam
- Able to have a bronchoscopy to look at or biopsy the spot
- Willing to follow the study rules and sign a consent form
- No history of allergic reaction to pain medicines used for the scope

This trial tests a mobile 4D CT scanner to help doctors see and biopsy lung nodules more clearly. It aims to make the procedure safer and more accurate.
This trial tests a new way to look at spots in the outer part of the lung using a special dye and a tiny camera during a bronchoscopy. It may help doctors see if the spot is cancer or not without needing a larger surgery.
This trial tests a new, special microscope that fits on a bronchoscope to see lung cells in real time. It may help doctors quickly tell if a lung nodule is cancer during the procedure.
This trial tests a new bronchoscope and needle to take samples from lung nodules or lymph nodes. It aims to see if this tool can accurately diagnose lesions in certain parts of the lung.
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 trial is testing a new imaging technology that uses artificial intelligence to help doctors quickly identify lung cancer during a standard bronchoscopy procedure. If you are scheduled for a lung biopsy to check for cancer, this study may help improve detection speed and accuracy.
