Robot-Assisted lung biopsy gets a Real-Time check: could boost accuracy and genetic testing
NCT ID NCT07685977
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether adding rapid onsite evaluation (ROSE) during robotic-assisted bronchoscopy improves the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions. ROSE lets doctors check biopsy samples immediately under a microscope to confirm they contain enough tissue. The study also looks at whether samples are adequate for next-generation sequencing, which guides personalized treatment. About 400 adults undergoing robotic bronchoscopy for a lung lesion will be randomly assigned to receive ROSE or not.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could make lung biopsies more accurate and reduce the need for repeat procedures, while ensuring enough tissue is collected for genetic testing.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is still recruiting and results are not yet available. The benefit of rapid onsite evaluation may vary by lesion type or operator experience, and it may not improve outcomes for all patients.
