Research into the usability of a flexible bronchoscopic tissue sampling instrument that removes a core sample of tissue from suspicious abnormalities in the lungs.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary objective of this efficacy study is to assess the overall diagnostic yield of the Investigational Device in comparison to conventional biopsy tools.The overall diagnostic yield is defined as the number of times the procedure was diagnostic (either malignant or benign), relative to the total number of attempted navigation procedures. The criteria for what constitutes a diagnostic sample will be modelled after the strict definitions as described in the ATS/ACCP guidelines 

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary objective is to assess specimen quality in terms of ability to perform additional molecular analysis and DNA analysis (this requires a percentage of tumor cells >30% of evaluated specimen volume with a minimum of 200 cells).
