A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Percutaneous CT-Guided Biopsy and Shape-Sensing Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy

Sponsor: Intuitive Surgical

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

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).
