Robot-Assisted lung biopsy under the microscope: will it deliver?

NCT ID NCT06004440

Ongoing Knowledge-focused Sponsor: Intuitive Surgical Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is tracking over 1,300 people who are having a lung biopsy or lesion localization with the Ion Endoluminal System, a robotic device. The goal is to see how often the device successfully gets a diagnosis and how often complications like a collapsed lung or bleeding occur. It's an observational study, meaning doctors use the device as they normally would, and researchers collect the results.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Ion Endoluminal System (a robotic-assisted device for lung biopsy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could confirm that the Ion system is effective and safe for routine lung biopsies, potentially improving diagnosis of lung cancer.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may not prove the device is better than other methods. Risks like pneumothorax or bleeding are being tracked but not compared.
