Comparing two special microscope techniques during lung biopsy
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two advanced imaging methods (CLE and ROSE) used during a bronchoscopy to check lung samples right away. The goal is to see which technique better helps doctors get a clear diagnosis from a small lung nodule.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lung spot or nodule on your CT scan that is between 5 and 50 mm (pea to lime size).
- Your doctor plans to do a bronchoscopy to take a sample (biopsy) from your lung.
- You do not have severe heart or lung problems (like very low oxygen, unstable chest pain, or out-of-control asthma) that would make a bronchoscopy unsafe.
- You do not have a serious bleeding problem (such as very low platelets or high INR) that cannot be fixed before the procedure.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study compares two types of robotic bronchoscopy (a way to look inside your lungs) to see which is better at evaluating suspicious spots. It might help find out more about your lung spot with less discomfort.
This study tests a new 3D X-ray imaging technique used during a lung biopsy to help doctors see the spot more clearly and guide the biopsy more precisely. It may make the procedure faster and more accurate for people with spots in the outer parts of the lungs.
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 study tests whether using a rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) during a robotic-assisted bronchoscopy can improve the quality of tissue samples for genetic testing. It may help doctors get better biopsies with fewer procedures.
This study tests a new microscope probe called CelTouch that doctors can use during a lung biopsy to see cells in real time, which may help diagnose lung lesions more accurately.
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.
