Robot-Assisted bronchoscopy may diagnose and treat lung nodules in one go
NCT ID NCT07642986
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a single session of robot-assisted bronchoscopy can safely diagnose and treat peripheral lung nodules in people who cannot have surgery or have multiple nodules. The procedure uses a robotic scope to reach the nodule, take a tissue sample, and then destroy it with heat or cold in the same session. The goal is to see if this one-stop approach is feasible and safe, potentially reducing the number of procedures and recovery time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation, or irreversible electroporation
What this could lead to
If successful, this one-stop approach could allow doctors to diagnose and treat lung nodules in a single session, reducing the need for multiple procedures and hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 25 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Risks include complications from the procedure, such as bleeding or infection, and the ablation may not fully destroy the nodule.
