Robot-guided lung biopsy for people with HIV
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This trial uses a robotic bronchoscope combined with special X-ray imaging (CBCT) to help diagnose lung nodules in people living with HIV. It aims to improve accuracy and safety when sampling suspicious lung spots.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have HIV and have been on stable HIV medication for at least 6 months with a viral load less than 50 copies/mL.
- You have a lung nodule 3 cm or smaller that looks suspicious for cancer on a CT scan, with at least a 50% chance of being cancer.
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are able to take care of yourself (ECOG score 0-2).
- You are expected to live at least 6 more months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if a remote-controlled robotic bronchoscope can safely and reliably take tissue samples from hard-to-reach spots in the lung. If you have a suspicious lung nodule that needs a biopsy, this study may help determine whether the robot-based approach works as well as standard bronchoscopy.
This trial tests a robotic procedure to safely take a sample from and treat small suspicious lung nodules without surgery. It may help patients who cannot or do not want traditional surgery or radiation therapy.
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.
This study tests a new computer-assisted system to help guide a needle biopsy of lung nodules. It aims to make the procedure more precise and safe when a nodule is suspicious for cancer.
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.
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.
