New imaging combo could make lung biopsies more accurate
NCT ID NCT06505642
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a new imaging technique (nCLE) can confirm that a biopsy needle is correctly placed in a lung nodule. About 25 adults with suspicious lung nodules will have the extra imaging during their standard biopsy procedure. The goal is to see if this method matches current imaging results, potentially improving future biopsy accuracy.

Inclusion Criteria: * 18 years or older * Suspected pulmonary nodule with an indication for CBCT-NB (decided by multidisciplinary tumour board) * Nodule must be solid or partially solid * Solid part of the nodule must be at least 8 mm * Largest dimension of the nodule on CT equal or less than 30 mm * Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Inability or non-willingness to provide informed consent * Patients with an endobronchial visible lung tumor on bronchoscopic inspection * Patients in which the target lesion is within reach of the linear EBUS scope * Lung nodules that resolved at the time of index intraprocedural CBCT * Failure to comply with the study protocol * Patients with known allergy for fluorescein or risk factors for an allergic reaction * Pregnant or breastfeeding women * Patients with hemodynamic instability * Patients with refractory hypoxemia * Patients with a therapeutic anticoagulant that cannot be held for an appropriate in-terval before the procedure * Patients who are unable to tolerate general anesthesia according to the anesthesiologist * Patient undergoing chemotherapy as several chemotherapies have fluorescent properties at the same wavelength (e.g. doxorubicin)
