Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to show a reduction in the proportion of benign lung nodules experiencing invasive procedures (biopsies or surgery) between a group of patients managed by standard of care with Nodify XL2 results and a group managed by standard of care blinded from Nodify XL2 results.

The purpose of this study is to see if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can determine the cause of these lung nodules.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of OTL38 and Near Infrared Imaging (NIR) at identifying pulmonary nodules within the operating theater, and to assess the safety and tolerability of single intravenous doses of OTL38.

The purpose of this study is to test the use of ultra-low dose CT scans to find lung nodules compared to the standard routine low dose CT scans.

The purpose of this randomized control study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a miniature (1.1 mm) cryoprobe to perform biopsy of peripheral pulmonary lesions using robotic bronchoscopy.

The purpose of this study is to assess the current rate of adherence to incidental lung nodule management and lung cancer screening guidelines in at-risk lung cancer patients identified from chart review.

The purpose of this study is to collect lung tissue and blood samples from participants who undergo medically-indicated lung surgery and maintain a bank of specimens from a wide range of participants with varying types of lung disease and progressions.   

The primary objective of this proposal is to develop a Thoracic Specimen Registry at Mayo Clinic. The purpose of the registry will be to support ongoing research in the etiology, early diagnosis, clinical management, and prognosis of lung cancer and other cancers and diseases of the thorax by developing a complete repository of specimens from patients with thoracic disease including but not limited to suspected lung cancer, mediastinal and pleural tumors and from patients at a very high risk of developing other thoracic cancers or other thoracic diseases.
