Active clinical trials for "Multiple Pulmonary Nodules"

In the early stage of the study, the CT-guided micro-coil locating method for pulmonary small nodules was optimized. This study will use a single set of target values non-randomized controlled trials to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the optimized pre-loaded micro-coil locating method in pulmonary small nodules.

Early diagnosis of LC in the asymptomatic stage through intentional screening programs and/or incidental pulmonary nodule identification and follow-up are known to improve outcomes significantly. There are large gaps in the screening and early detection of LC, especially in LMIC - driven by multifactorial aspects, including a variety of socioeconomic and infrastructural factors, mainly due to limitations in the required network of specialized human resources and technical capacity. Identifying LC at an early stage allows for treatment that is more likely to be curative, thereby improving survival. The present study aims to characterize the lung nodule journey in different hospitals/clinics across Latin America, describing the use of health resources, time to diagnosis, stage at diagnosis, and time to treatment depending on the source of nodule identification in two different cohorts (retrospective and prospective).

Primary Objective Determine the prevalence of CAMLS in patients with pulmonary nodules. Secondary Objectives Determine the positive and negative predictive value of CAMLS in patients with pulmonary nodules who undergo biopsy. Model combinations of clinical factors with the presence/absence of CAMLS to refine strategies for assessment of patients with pulmonary nodules. Evaluate whether these measures result in enhanced T-cell activity and/or NK cell function and number

The researchers are aimed to investigate the dynamic evolution of indeterminate pulmonary nodules by a long-term follow-up of patients with different characteristics. Influence factors of clinical decision-making that might contribute to overtreatment or delayed treatment will also be studied.

Implementation of lung cancer screening using low-dose computed tomography has increased the rate of detection of small peripheral pulmonary nodules. However, it is hard to localize these nodules by palpation because of their small volume and long distance to the nearest pleural surface. To further clarify the confounding factors, we developed our own 3D printing localization procedure. In contrast to traditional CT-G percutaneous puncture localization, our procedure was performed in the operating room without CT scan evaluation.

AnchorDx is using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) methylation analysis by next-generation sequencing (NGS) to develop a blood-based assay for differentiating benign and malignant pulmonary nodules early. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of this assay in patients with pulmonary nodules.

Evaluate the clinical utility and early performance of the Cios 3D Mobile Spin in conjunction with the Ion Endoluminal System, to visualize and facilitate the sampling of pulmonary nodules between 1-3 cm via the airway.

The primary end-point of the study is to determine the sensitivity of OTL in identifying lung nodules when excited by an imaging probe. Investigators intend to enroll 300 lung cancer patients in this study. The study is focusing on patients presenting with suspected malignancies of the lung and pleura who are considered to be good surgical candidates.

This research study will evaluate how Near Infrared Fluorescence imaging (NIFI) with indocyanine green (ICG) contrast dye can assist in the identification and diagnosis of lung nodules during surgery. NIFI is an intraoperative imaging technology that utilizes a coupled camera/fluorophore (ICG) system to fluoresce tissues of interest. Intravenous ICG is a fluorophore with a long-standing high safety profile.

As the detection of small pulmonary nodules continuously grows, the intraoperative localization of small pulmonary nodules is in great demand. The intraoperative localization nowadays is usually done under local anesthesia before surgery. There is a certain rate of failure and complication. The result of our early animal experiments show that the pulmonary surgery marker system can deliver the intraoperative localization safely and precisely under anesthesia, and the average distance between the localization and the simulated lesion is less than 5mm during surgery. Therefore, the safety and feasibility of the system require further evaluation in patients
