Study summary

In this study, the performance related to the use of the novel Robotic Endoscopy Platform during bronchoscopic procedures will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

The early and accurate diagnosis of lung cancer is critical. However, many peripheral lung lesions are beyond the reach of conventional bronchoscopes. Additionally, alternative techniques, such as CT-guided or surgical biopsy, can carry increased risks to the patient. Diagnostic yield of flexible bronchoscopy is limited by its inability to guide biopsy instruments directly to the lesion. Varying technologies have been proposed to guide endobronchial biopsies, such as electromagnetic navigation, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and computed tomography fluoroscopy. However, the correlation of real-time guidance and the ability to precisely direct a biopsy instrument is critical to biopsy success.

In this study , the novel Robotic Endoscopy Platform and its accessories will be used to provide bronchoscopic visualization of and access to patient airways for diagnostic procedures. Commercially available biopsy instruments will be used to acquire tissue for diagnostic purposes.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. 18 to 80 years of age;
  2. Capable and willing to give ;
  3. Acceptable candidate for an elective, non-emergent bronchoscopic procedure;
  4. Solid peripheral lung lesions suspected of , between 1.5-7cm in size identified on thin slice CT scan with 30 days of the intended bronchoscopy

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Medical to bronchoscopy;
  2. Ground glass opacity lesions on pre-procedure CT
  3. Participation in any other clinical trial 30 days before and throughout the duration of the study;
  4. Uncontrolled or irreversible coagulopathy;
  5. Female subjects who are pregnant or nursing or those of refusing a pregnancy test;
  6. CT scan done over a month before the bronchoscopy procedure.

Intra-Procedure Exclusion Criteria: Any presenting condition discovered intra-procedurally that in the opinion of the investigator would make participating in this study not in the patient's best interest.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 15, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
