Cryogenic catheters tested in donated lung tissue

This trial evaluates a new disposable cryocatheter (a thin, freezing tool) used during bronchoscopy—a procedure where doctors look inside your airways. The study is gathering information on how well this specific tool works for diagnostic and treatment purposes.

This study tests a new freezing tool (cryoprobe) used during lung transplant surgery to see if it can safely destroy abnormal tissue. The procedure is done on the lungs after they are removed from the body, so it does not affect the patient directly.

This trial compares a new method called cryo biopsy to standard forceps biopsy for diagnosing lung lesions. It may help get better tissue samples with fewer procedures.

This study tests a new way to freeze and destroy small lung tumors using a thin tube with a camera (bronchoscope) to guide the freezing probe. It is for people with early-stage lung cancer or limited lung metastases who cannot or prefer not to have surgery or radiation.

This study tests a freezing technique called cryoablation for people with small lung tumors (3 cm or less) who cannot have surgery or standard treatments. The procedure is done through a bronchoscope, a thin tube passed through the mouth into the lungs.

This study tests a new method called 'cryobiopsy' (a cold biopsy) to take samples from lung spots. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe in everyday practice.
