This phase I trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the thin endobronchial ultrasound scope in evaluating lung lesions. A bronchoscopy is a procedure where a doctor uses a scope with a tiny camera to go in the lungs to look for a lung nodule, or a spot. Endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive technique that uses ultrasound to produce an image of the endobronchial passages. The thin endobronchial ultrasound scope may enable doctors to have a better chance to get a diagnosis.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT04745962.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To demonstrate the initial performance of the thin convex probe (TCP)-endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) to evaluate mid lung lesions.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy using standard convex probe (SCP)-EBUS bronchoscope. If SCP-EBUS scope cannot access lesion, patients undergo endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy using TCP-EBUS bronchoscope. Patient's medical records are also reviewed.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 2 weeks.
