Comparing ION and Monarch for lung exams
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two robotic systems, ION and Monarch, used during bronchoscopy to look at lung spots. If you're already scheduled for this procedure, you might help doctors learn which system works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a navigational bronchoscopy at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center.
- You can and will sign a consent form agreeing to take part.
- You are not enrolled in any other bronchoscopy clinical trial.
- You are not in another trial that requires a specific robotic platform for bronchoscopy.

This study collects information from patients having a lung biopsy or nodule localization using the Ion endoluminal system. It aims to understand how well the system works in real-world settings.
This trial uses a robotic bronchoscope to place a dye marker near a small lung nodule before surgery. The dye helps surgeons find and remove the nodule more easily.
This trial compares two types of robotic bronchoscopy (shape-sensing and electromagnetic) to see which works better for diagnosing lung lesions. You may be eligible if you're scheduled for this procedure.
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 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 an AI system that helps guide a robotic bronchoscope to lung nodules. It may help doctors find and localize nodules more accurately during the procedure.
