Spray before biopsy may curb bleeding and boost cancer diagnosis
NCT ID NCT02970175
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether spraying a drug called terlipressin into the airways before taking biopsy samples can reduce bleeding. The goal was to allow doctors to safely take more tissue samples, which could improve the chances of diagnosing lung cancer. The trial involved 130 adults scheduled for a bronchoscopy who had a suspicious lung lesion. Results will show if this approach leads to more biopsies and better diagnostic yield.
