Bright dye test during lymph node biopsy
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new dye and imaging technique during a standard lymph node biopsy (EBUS-TBNA) to help doctors see and sample chest lymph nodes more accurately. It may make the biopsy more precise so you get a clearer diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have at least one enlarged lymph node in your chest (seen on a CT or PET scan).
- Your doctor has already planned to do an EBUS-TBNA procedure to check your lymph nodes.
- You are willing to follow study rules and give written consent.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether using a special contrast dye during an ultrasound-guided biopsy (EBUS) makes it easier to see and sample lung tumors or swollen lymph nodes. It may help doctors get more accurate tissue samples with fewer tries.
This study tests a new way to biopsy lung spots that appear as ground-glass opacities on CT scans. It uses a special microscope during bronchoscopy (a tube through the mouth into the lungs) to find the spot and then takes a tissue sample with a freezing probe. The goal is to get a more accurate diagnosis with fewer complications.
This trial compares two ways to take tissue samples from swollen lymph nodes in the chest. The goal is to see if a newer technique called EBUS-TTFB gets better samples than the standard method (EBUS-TBNA) when the first samples aren't enough.
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 trial compares two different ways of moving the needle during an EBUS-TBNA procedure to see which method gets better tissue samples from enlarged lymph nodes in the chest. It may help doctors improve the accuracy of diagnosis for conditions like lung cancer or infection.
This trial tests a new way to take tissue samples (biopsies) from enlarged lymph nodes in the chest using a special microscope during a bronchoscopy. The goal is to make the diagnosis more accurate and safer.
