Clinical Trial: Clinical Utility of Needle-Based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions

U.S., Sept. 19 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07827326) titled 'Clinical Utility of Needle-Based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions' on Sept. 14.

Brief Summary: This prospective, multicenter diagnostic accuracy study will evaluate the clinical utility of needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE) for differentiating malignant from benign peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs). A total of 100 participants undergoing bronchoscopic evaluation of PPLs will be enrolled at three hospitals in China.

Following successful lesion localization using radial endobronchial ultrasound, nCLE imaging will be performed after intravenous administration of fluorescein, followed by ...
