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

This study tests a special microscope attached to a bronchoscopy scope that helps doctors see lung tissue in real time. It may help identify whether a lung nodule is cancer more quickly and accurately during the same procedure.
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 computer tool that helps doctors guide a bronchoscopy more accurately, which could improve how they diagnose or manage lung cancer. If you are already having a bronchoscopy, you may be able to join.
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 study tests a new way to take a small sample of tissue from a lung spot using a special camera and freezing technique. It aims to make the diagnosis process safer and more effective.
