Real-time imaging to diagnose lung cancer faster and safer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new camera tool (confocal laser endomicroscopy) that lets doctors see lung tissue in real-time during a biopsy procedure. The goal is to diagnose non-small cell lung cancer more quickly and safely than standard biopsies alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your doctor has already recommended a biopsy to look at lung tissue through a breathing tube (endobronchial biopsy)
- You have complete medical records including the new camera images and tissue study results
- You are 18 years of age or older
- You are able to give informed consent and are not under court-ordered guardianship or legal protection
- You are not currently in prison or receiving mandatory psychiatric care

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 trial tests a newer, more precise way to take lung tissue samples using a special microscope during bronchoscopy. It may help diagnose lung cancer more accurately and safely.
This trial tests a new combination of a special scope (CLE) with a freezing biopsy tool to see if it can better diagnose lung spots found on CT scans. It may help you get a clearer diagnosis with fewer risks.
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.
