Trial summary

Using RBS as the navigation and treatment platform, precisely navigate to the target lesion. Utilize r-EUBS and nCLE to identify the lesion, and when the confocal AI model recognizes the lesion as malignant, perform a biopsy. Subsequently, under the guidance of OBCT, carry out ablation treatment of the lesion. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Clinical Trial on the Integration of Detection, Sampling and Treatment of Peripheral Lung Cancer by Robotic Bronchoscopy System

Using RBS as the navigation and treatment platform, precisely navigate to the target lesion. Utilize r-EUBS and nCLE to identify the lesion, and when the confocal AI model recognizes the lesion as malignant, perform a biopsy. Subsequently, under the guidance of OBCT, carry out ablation treatment of the lesion.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Integrated completion rate of detection, sampling and treatment

    Integrated completion rate of detection, sampling and treatment= (Number of cases with successful integrated detection, sampling and treatment / Total enrolled cases) × 100% Definition of integrated success: Under the guidance of the bronchial navigation and positioning system, the lesion is confirmed by radial endobronchial ultrasound (r-EBUS) or CBCT; imaging diagnosis is obtained via probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE); qualified tissue samples are successfully collected; and local treatment is completed.

    Measured: Day 1 (when the procedure was completed and a CBCT scan was conducted to determine the ablation range)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Diagnostic success rate

    Diagnostic success rate

    = (Number of cases with definite pathological diagnosis / Total enrolled cases) × 100%

    Definition of definite pathological diagnosis:

    Malignant lesions Specific benign lesions: tuberculosis, fungal infection, granulomatous lesions, organizing pneumonia, etc.

    Measured: 3 days after procedure( when the pathological examination results are available)
