Red Dichromatic Imaging for Improving Post-Biopsy Bronchoscopic Field Visibility
China206 participantsStarted 2026-07-01
Plain-language summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether red dichromatic imaging (RDI) can help doctors see the bronchoscopic field more clearly after a biopsy. The study will include adults who need a bronchoscopic biopsy because doctors can see an abnormal area inside the airway.During a bronchoscopic biopsy, bleeding can happen after tissue is taken. Blood may cover the biopsy area and make it harder for doctors to see where to continue the procedure.
RDI is an imaging mode that uses special colors of light to help show blood-covered areas more clearly.The main question this study aims to answer is:Does RDI improve visibility of the bronchoscopic field after bleeding caused by bronchoscopic biopsy? Researchers will compare images taken with standard white light imaging and RDI during the same bronchoscopy procedure. Both types of images will be taken after the first biopsy and before any field-clearing treatment is done.
Participants will have bronchoscopic biopsy as part of their regular medical care, have images taken using standard white light imaging and RDI during the same procedure, have routine follow-up for possible medical problems after bronchoscopy. Taking part in this study will not add extra biopsies or change the participant's regular medical care.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion criteria
. Age ≥18 years.
. Visible abnormal endobronchial lesion under bronchoscopy, including endobronchial neoplasm, mucosal abnormality, airway stenosis, or other lesion requiring biopsy to determine its nature.
. Provision of informed consent to participate in this clinical study and signing of the informed consent form.
Exclusion criteria
. Presence of contraindications to bronchoscopy, such as severe cardiopulmonary disease, coagulation dysfunction (including patients receiving anticoagulant therapy and/or anticoagulant drugs who have not discontinued these drugs for more than 5 days before the examination), poor tolerance of anesthesia, psychiatric disease, or severe neurosis.
. Intra-procedural decrease in SpO₂ or inability to tolerate bronchoscopy.
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.

. Obvious airway bleeding observed during bronchoscopy that may increase the risk of worsening the patient's condition.
. Images that are obviously blurred or out of focus, or that contain severe reflection, bubbles, or instrument obstruction, making subsequent image analysis impossible.
. Inability to cooperate with the study for any reason, or any other condition that the investigator considers unsuitable for study participation.
