Comparative Performance of Robotic, Electromagnetic Navigation and Fluoroscopy Drives Optimal Diagnostic Strategy for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions
China342 participantsStarted 2019-04-01
Plain-language summary
Currently, the optimal method for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions (PPL) is uncertain. We aim to compare the diagnostic yield of Robotic Bronchoscopy System (RBS), Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy (ENB), Fluoroscope-Bronchoscopy (FB).

Inclusion criteria
. Age ≥18 years and ≤75 years, with no gender restrictions;
. Presence of a peripheral lung lesion on chest CT
. Patients voluntarily agree to undergo bronchoscopy and meet the requirements for the procedure;
. patients are capable of understanding the purpose of the trial, demonstrate good compliance with the examinations and follow-up, voluntarily participate in the clinical trial, and sign an informed consent form.
Exclusion criteria
. Presence of contraindications for bronchoscopy, including: active massive hemoptysis; recent myocardial infarction or unstable angina; severe cardiac or pulmonary dysfunction; severe hypertension and arrhythmias; uncorrectable bleeding tendencies or severe coagulation disorders (such as platelet count \<60×10\^9/L), uremia; severe pulmonary artery hypertension; severe superior vena cava syndrome; intracranial hypertension; acute cerebrovascular events; aortic dissection or aneurysm; multiple bullae; extreme systemic exhaustion;
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.
. Female patients who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or planning pregnancy;
. Patients with electromagnetic active implantable medical devices;
. Subjects allergic to anesthetics; or with a history of multiple severe allergies, hereditary allergy history;
. Those who have participated in or are currently participating in drug clinical trials within 3 months before screening, or have participated in other medical device clinical trials within 30 days;
. Any other conditions deemed unsuitable for participation in this clinical trial by the investigator.
