Clinical Trial: Safety Profile of Ultrasound-guided Transparietal Lung Biopsy in Patients With Diffuse Interstitial Lung Disease

U.S., Dec. 27 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07305220) titled 'Safety Profile of Ultrasound-guided Transparietal Lung Biopsy in Patients With Diffuse Interstitial Lung Disease' on Nov. 27.

Brief Summary: Rationale Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) require accurate histological diagnosis when imaging is inconclusive, yet current techniques-surgical lung biopsy and transbronchial cryobiopsy-carry significant risks and lack real-time guidance. BPTE, widely used in oncology, provides ultrasound-guided sampling under local anesthesia with historically lower complication rates, but its value in ILD remains unproven. The TOUCANS study aims to generate safety and feasibility data to support its potenti...
