Cold spray treatment for non-cancerous airway narrowing
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a freezing spray (cryospray) to treat narrowing of the windpipe (trachea) that is not caused by cancer. It may be an option if you need a procedure to open your airway.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a narrowing in your windpipe that is at least 50% blocked, seen on a CT scan or earlier breathing tube exam.
- Your narrowing is not caused by cancer.
- You have not had more than one balloon or laser treatment for this narrowing in the last 6 months.
- You are not pregnant and do not have other serious health problems like severe lung disease or tissue damage in the treatment area.

This trial studies genetic changes in people with tracheal stenosis (narrowing of the windpipe). It compares two treatments: wedge resection (cutting out the narrow part) and radial incision (cutting to open it up). This may help doctors choose the best treatment in the future.
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a medicine (paclitaxel) to open narrowed windpipes. It is for people whose windpipe is blocked by scar tissue from a ventilator, transplant, or other non-cancer causes, not from cancer.
This trial is testing a treatment called spray cryotherapy, which uses extreme cold to open up a narrowed airway. It may help people with non-cancerous (benign) narrowing of the windpipe or voice box area that is causing symptoms like trouble breathing.
This study tests a combination treatment for lung cancer that is blocking the airway. It uses freezing (cryoablation) to shrink the tumor in the airway, along with chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug (a treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer). The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for people who have not had prior treatment.
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, to destroy small lung tumors. It may be an option if you cannot have surgery or other treatments, or if those treatments haven't worked.
