About this study
Official title: A Multi-Center, Prospective, Single-Arm, Observational Study to Evaluate Real-World Outcomes for the Shape-Sensing Ion Endoluminal System
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the Ion Endoluminal System with real-world use for pulmonary lesion localization or biopsy.
Read the detailed description
This study is a single-arm, post-market, prospective, multi-center, observational study of subjects undergoing a shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy lung lesion localization or biopsy procedure with the Ion Endoluminal System. The primary outcome of this study is focused on evaluating the performance characteristics of the pulmonary lesion biopsy procedure as evaluated by diagnostic yield.
Clinical trial registration is submitted voluntarily under section 402(j)(4)(A) of the Public Health Service Act and 42 CFR 11.60.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Ion Endoluminal SystemDevice
Subjects will under a planned procedure with the Ion Endoluminal System
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Subjects with biopsy, with or without localization, of pulmonary lesion using Ion Endoluminal System | Subjects in which a pulmonary lesion biopsy, with or without localization, was attempted or performed with the Ion Endoluminal System. Receives: Device: Ion Endoluminal System |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Primary Endpoint to Assess Diagnostic Yield
Defined as the sum of true positives and true negatives divided by the total number of nodules biopsied. Primary outcome analyses will exclude subjects that are enrolled for localization procedure only.
Measured: Intra-procedure through the 24 month follow up period
Secondary outcomes (2)
Secondary Endpoint to Assess Pneumothorax
Defined as the incidence of subjects that undergo an Ion Procedure with a pneumothorax event, requiring intervention
Measured: Intra-procedure through the 30 day follow up period
Secondary Endpoint to Assess Bleeding
Defined as the incidence of subjects that undergo an Ion Procedure with a bleeding event, with a grade of greater than 2 on the Nashville Scale
Measured: Intra-procedure through the 30 day follow up period

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Lung Cancer and Multiple Pulmonary Nodules, run by Intuitive Surgical at 16 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 16 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Primary Endpoint to Assess Diagnostic Yield (time frame: Intra-procedure through the 24 month follow up period). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Apr 2026.
