Study using collected cough samples to learn about lung disease
Part of Cancer, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at “cough capture” samples to better understand what is happening in the lungs. You might be eligible if you’re having a bronchoscopy for medical reasons and don’t already have lung cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 21 years old
- Be scheduled for a bronchoscopy (camera procedure into the airways) for diagnosis or treatment
- Do not have a known diagnosis of lung cancer (and you’re not scheduled for lung tissue removal for that purpose)
- If you have asthma or COPD (chronic lung breathing problems), you should be scheduled for care visits at the Montefiore Asthma/COPD Center or related clinical settings, including during an exacerbation (flare-up)
- Have blood counts and clotting results safe enough for any clinically needed biopsy (for example, INR and PTT not above the trial limits, platelets not too low)
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study collects sputum (mucus from deep in the lungs) to help test or label lung cancer-related results. You may be placed in a healthy, high-risk, or cancer group depending on your smoking history and whether you already have a lung cancer diagnosis.
This trial studies blood and tissue samples from people with COPD, IPF, or lung cancer to find markers that can help diagnose and predict these conditions. It aims to discover why some lung diseases progress to cancer.
This study collects medical information and samples from people with lung cancer to help doctors learn more about the disease. By joining, you may help improve future treatments without changing your current care.
This study examines how certain white blood cells behave in people with lung cancer or COPD. It aims to better understand the immune response, which could help develop new treatments.
This study collects airway samples (usually during a bronchoscopy), plus blood and/or urine, to help researchers study lung conditions. It may help advance understanding of lung disease and related biology, but it is not a treatment trial.
This trial looks at lung tissue from people with COPD to understand how the disease affects individual cells. It may help develop better treatments in the future.
