Brief Summary

The goal of this multi-center randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the added value of needle based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE)-imaging to regular diagnostic bronchoscopic peripheral lung ...

Detailed Description

Rationale: Lung cancer screening and the increasing use of chest-computed tomography (CT) has led to an increase in the number of (incidental) found suspected malignant lung lesions. Since tissue acqu...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • ≥18 years of age
  • Suspected malignant peripheral lung lesion with an indication for a bronchoscopic diagnostic work-up as determined by the attending physician or tumor board. Peripheral pulmonary lesions are defined as lesions located beyond the visible segmental bronchi, not detectable by regular flexible bronchoscopy
  • Bronchus sign on pre-procedural CT or estimated confidence for successful navigation to the nodule resulting in a r-EBUS signal
  • Solid part of the lesion must be ≧10 mm
  • Largest dimension of lesion size on CT ≦30 mm (long-axis)
  • Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent

Exclusion

  • Inability or non-willingness to provide informed consent
  • Endobronchial visible malignancy on bronchoscopic inspection
  • Target lesion within reach of the linear EBUS scope
  • Failure to comply with the study protocol
  • Known allergy or risk factors for an allergic reaction to fluorescein
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Hemodynamic instability
  • Refractory hypoxemia
  • Therapeutic anticoagulant use that cannot be withheld for an appropriate interval before the procedure
  • Unable to tolerate general anesthesia according to the anesthesiologist
  • Undergoing chemotherapy as several chemotherapies have fluorescent properties at the same wavelength (e.g., doxorubicin)
