Pulmonary nodules

This study is testing a new radioactive tracer called 68Ga-TOI-1 for PET scans in people with lung cancer or suspicious lung nodules. The tracer targets a protein (CDH3) found only on cancer cells, which may help doctors see tumors more clearly than current scans. About 80 partic…

This study tests a new robotic technology (ssRAB) to take tissue samples from lung nodules. Current methods work only about 70% of the time; the robot aims to be more accurate and safer. About 100 adults with lung nodules will undergo the procedure under anesthesia and be followe…

This trial tests whether creating a 3D model of a patient's airway from a CT scan can help doctors choose the right size and position for a breathing tube used during lung surgery. The goal is to reduce failed insertions and complications like sore throat or low oxygen levels. Ad…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks used before CT-guided lung nodule localization. Researchers will use 3D CT scans to see how far the numbing medicine spreads with each method. Fifty adults aged 18-80 will take part. The goal is to understand which block works better,…

This study compares two ways of performing a biopsy for peripheral lung nodules: doing a staging ultrasound (EBUS) before or after robotic-assisted bronchoscopy. The goal is to see which order leads to a higher chance of getting a clear diagnosis. Participants are randomly assign…

This study will follow 1000 adults for up to 10 years, using a special type of CT scan (photon-counting) to look for lung nodules, tumors, and other lung conditions. Researchers will also use artificial intelligence to create a virtual copy of each person's lungs, called a 'digit…
