A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating Lung Nodules - COMparing Percutaneous CT-Guided Biopsy And Shape-Sensing Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy (ENCOMPASS)


Sponsor

Intuitive Surgical

Enrollment

550 participants

Start Date

Aug 28, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The ENCOMPASS study is a post-market, multicenter, randomized controlled trial comparing two established approaches for obtaining a biopsy of small pulmonary nodules (≤2 cm): CT-guided percutaneous lung nodule biopsy and shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with cone-beam CT (ssRAB with CBCT).


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This clinical trial is studying a procedure called CT-guided percutaneous lung nodule biopsy and a procedure called Shape-Sensing Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy with Cone-Beam CT (ssRAB with CBCT) for people with lung cancer (diagnosis) and lung nodule. The study is currently recruiting participants at 2 locations. People eligible for this study include aged 18 Years and older.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
