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

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a newer way to get a tissue sample from a lung nodule using a bronchoscope (a thin tube through the airway). The goal is to see if this method can accurately diagnose lung spots that might be cancer, possibly avoiding more invasive surgery.
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.
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 study tests a new microscope that quickly analyzes lung tissue during a bronchoscopy or surgery. It may help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions about your care.
This trial studies new technologies to help doctors diagnose asthma and better understand airway inflammation. It may help you (or healthy volunteers, if eligible) by allowing your breathing tests and inflammation markers to be measured with newer diagnostic tools.
