Comparing robotic bronchoscopy systems for examining lung spots
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two robotic bronchoscopy systems used to examine lung spots or nodules. Participation involves having your scheduled procedure, and researchers will evaluate which system works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older at the time of the bronchoscopy.
- You are scheduled to have a robotic bronchoscopy for a lung spot or nodule using the ION or Monarch systems at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center.
- You can and will provide written consent to participate.
- You are not enrolled in any other clinical trial that involves a specific robotic bronchoscopy platform.
- You are not enrolled in any other bronchoscopy-related study.

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 a robotic bronchoscopy system to biopsy small lung nodules that are hard to reach with standard tools. It aims to help diagnose nodules that don't show a clear airway path on CT scans.
This study tests whether a robotic bronchoscope can help place a small mark of green dye (ICG) on lung nodules before surgery, so the surgeon can find and remove them more easily. This may help make the surgery more precise and reduce the chance of leaving some nodule behind.
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 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.
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.
