Robot-assisted lung biopsy for lung nodules in South Korea
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses a robot-assisted bronchoscope to take tissue samples from lung nodules. It may help diagnose lung cancer or other conditions without major surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older
- You have a lung nodule that is solid or partly solid, confirmed by a CT scan
- Your doctor has decided you need a biopsy of the nodule
- You can safely have a bronchoscopy (a thin tube inserted into your airways)
- You can provide written consent and are generally well enough for sedation or anesthesia

This trial tests an AI system that helps guide a robotic bronchoscope to lung nodules. It may help doctors find and localize nodules more accurately during the procedure.
This trial tests a procedure that uses a robotic scope to biopsy (take a tissue sample) and then destroy lung nodules in one session. It aims to help people who can't have surgery or radiation by treating suspicious nodules with heat ablation.
This trial tests a new way to find and remove small lung nodules using a robot-guided camera to mark the nodule with dye, then a video-assisted surgery to remove it. It may help patients whose nodules are hard to locate during surgery.
This trial tests a new computer-assisted system for guiding the needle during a lung biopsy (taking a small sample from a lung nodule). It may help doctors get a more accurate sample with fewer complications.
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help doctors quickly examine tissue samples taken during a lung biopsy. It aims to see if the AI can improve the accuracy and speed of diagnosing lung conditions.
This study compares two ways to biopsy small lung nodules: a robot-assisted scope through the airways or a needle guided by CT scan. If you have a small lung nodule (2 cm or less) that needs testing, participation may help determine which approach is better.
