Robot battle: which bronchoscope best snags lung nodules?
NCT ID NCT07411989
First seen Feb 21, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study compares two robotic bronchoscopy systems—Ion shape-sensing and Galaxy electromagnetic—to see which one is better at getting tissue samples from lung nodules. About 346 adults scheduled for a routine bronchoscopy will be randomly assigned to one of the two robots. The main goal is to see which system more often obtains a clear diagnosis, while also tracking radiation exposure.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Robotic bronchoscopy (Ion shape-sensing or Galaxy electromagnetic system)
What this could lead to
If one system proves better at diagnosing lung nodules, it could become the preferred tool for lung cancer detection.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage comparison study, not a treatment trial. It may not show a clear winner, and results might not apply to all patients or settings.
As listed by the trial registrant
The condition terms exactly as the trial's registrant entered them.
