Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The Auris bronchoscopic system guides bronchoscopic tools within the airways to enable biopsy of specimens from suspected malignant lesions using automated mechanical user controls.

The patients will be selected based on the need for a lung biopsy procedure for suspected malignant lesions. A biopsy procedure will be required for this patient regardless of the technique to be used. These techniques can vary from a bronchoscopic approach to a transthoracic (through the chest wall) needle approach.

Most often the patient will only need one procedure to evaluate the tissue obtained through the biopsy.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 293069 0
The primary endpoint of the study is the safety profile of the system which will include the incidence of complications and adverse events. Primary adverse events associated with a bronchoscopic biopsy are pneumothorax and bleeding. Pneumothorax is when air enters into the thoracic cavity and results in the lung collapsing. The patient will feel a sense of breathlessness due to the pneumothorax. Bleeding can be seen during the procedure if it occurs during the bronchoscopic procedure. Hemoptysis or coughing up blood is another indication of bleeding from the biopsy site.

48 hours post procedure
Secondary outcome [1] 310286 0
The secondary endpoint is the completion of the intended bronchoscopic procedure and confirmation of correct location via pathology evaluation of resected tissue.
Timepoint [1] 310286 0
Post procedure pathological evaluation

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Auris endoscopy system in diagnostic pulmonary endoscopy. The Auris endoscopy system is a system to guide tools to predetermined points within the airways of the lung in order to extract tissue and specimens for evaluation of suspected malignant lung lesions.
