Robotic-assisted vs CT-guided lung biopsy comparison
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a lung nodule that is 2 centimeters or smaller and needs a biopsy.
- You have not had a biopsy of this nodule before.
- You are willing to provide written consent and follow the study procedures.

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 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 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 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 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 study tests a special bronchoscopy technique called SD-RAB to biopsy small lung nodules found on a CT scan. The goal is to see if this method can safely diagnose these nodules without surgery.
