Comparing two biopsy needles for lung nodule diagnosis
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lung nodule seen on a CT scan that needs a biopsy to know what it is.
- The nodule is in the outer part of the lung and is between 8 and 30 millimeters in size.
- You are willing to undergo a CT-guided lung puncture biopsy and meet all preoperative requirements.
- You are able to cooperate with the study observations and have signed the informed consent form.
- You do not have severe heart or lung problems, bleeding disorders, or high risk of bleeding from the biopsy.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, have psychiatric conditions, or allergies to anesthesia.

This study is testing a new method to help tell whether a lung nodule is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). It is for people who already need a biopsy or surgery for their lung nodule.
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 a mobile 4D CT scanner to help doctors see and biopsy lung nodules more clearly. It aims to make the procedure safer and more accurate.
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.
This trial compares a new thin bronchoscope with an ultrathin one to see which is better at diagnosing small lung nodules found on chest imaging. It may help you avoid more invasive procedures.
This trial tests a newer, more precise way to take lung tissue samples using a special microscope during bronchoscopy. It may help diagnose lung cancer more accurately and safely.
