New scope aims to reach deeper lung lesions
NCT ID NCT07253727
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new type of bronchoscope, a thin tube with a camera and ultrasound, to see if it can better find and sample lung lesions. The device is designed to reach deeper into the lungs than standard scopes. Researchers will study 200 adults with lung lesions to see how well the scope works and if it is safe.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new tool that helps doctors find and sample lung lesions more easily and safely.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The device may not work as well as hoped, and results may not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Willing and able to provide informed consent. 2. ≥18 years of age. 3. The target lesion(s) must be located within the inner and middle two-thirds of the lung, as determined prospectively using the Software-Assisted Method (SAM). To ensure accurate localization, SAM applies anatomical measurements to classify lesions as inner, middle, or outer third of the lung. The lesion must contact the border of the inner two-thirds region; lesions fully outside this region will be excluded from the study cohort. In addition, the lesion must be located at least two airway generations distal to the main carina, as confirmed radiographically by the bronchoscopist 4. Target lesion: nodule ≥ 10mm or lymph node ≥ 5mm. 5. Target lesion location documented on CT or PET report. 6. Indicated for bronchoscopy. 7. Bronchoscopic procedure scheduled within 30 days of the CT or PET report. 8. Patient qualifies for a procedure using the BF-UCP190F bronchoscope and the ViziShot 2 25 needle based upon the approved indications for use for those devices. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Concurrently participating in another competing clinical study. 2. Unwilling or unable to return for follow-up, e.g., plans for relocation, unsuitable transportation. 3. Patient not suitable for flexible bronchoscopy as determined by the treating physician prior to the procedure. 4. Currently on anticoagulation that cannot be paused, or a coagulation disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, would pose an increased risk of bleeding. 5. Intraprocedural identification of intrinsic and endoscopically visualized endobronchial lesion for which adequate biopsy can be obtained via endobronchial biopsy.
