Inclusion criteria
. Age 18 years or older.
. Subject willing and able to comply with study procedures and provide written informed consent to participate in study.
. Subject with a predominantly solid, peripheral lung lesion, 1 cm to 5 cm in diameter measured along its longest cross sectional diameter on axial CT imaging (obtained within 4 weeks per standard of practice) with the intention to undergo a clinically indicated bronchoscopic evaluation under routine clinical care. If the lesion is partially solid (i.e. there is a ground glass component) then the solid portion must make up at least 80% of the lesion.
. Subject for whom the decision to pursue biopsy has been made by the treating physician and agreed upon by the subject.
Exclusion criteria
. Subjects with pure ground glass opacity or a subsolid target lesion, and/or a ground glass opacity for which less than 80% of the lesion is solid identified by Chest CT.
. Subjects who have medical contraindication to undergo conventional flexible or robotic bronchoscopy and standard of care Radial EBUS-guided cytological assessment evaluations, as determined by the investigator.
. Subjects with known coagulopathy.
. Subjects who are pregnant or nursing mothers.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Proportion of patients where the needle is visualized by the iNOD system inside the lesion
. Subjects who are currently enrolled in another investigational study that would directly interfere with the current study, without prior written approval from the sponsor.
. Use of intraprocedural Cone Beam CT, Fixed CT or Augmented fluoroscopy
