Comparing two thin bronchoscopes for lung nodule diagnosis
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a lung nodule (spot) between 8 and 30 millimeters in size, located in the outer part of the lung.
- You are healthy enough to have a bronchoscopy (a tube inserted into the airway).
- You have not had any treatment for the lung nodule yet.
- You are willing to follow the study procedures and sign a consent form.

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 study tests a new way to get tissue samples from small lung nodules using a special scope and freezing technique. It may help diagnose cancer without more invasive procedures.
This study is testing a new method to help tell whether a lung nodule is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). It is for people who already need a biopsy or surgery for their lung nodule.
This study compares two types of needles used in a CT-guided lung biopsy to see which one is better at diagnosing lung nodules. The trial aims to find a more accurate and safe way to obtain tissue samples from peripheral lung nodules, which could help guide treatment decisions.
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.
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.
