NCT ID NCT05374447
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a tiny forceps biopsy to the standard needle biopsy during a lung ultrasound procedure helps doctors diagnose sarcoidosis more often. Fifty-five adults with enlarged lymph nodes in the chest took part. The goal was to see if the combined approach gives a clearer diagnosis than the needle alone.
