Spray Freezing for Non-Cancerous Airway Narrowing
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a narrowing in your windpipe or voice box area that is not caused by cancer and is causing symptoms.
- The narrowed part of your airway is less than 1 centimeter wide.
- Your airway narrowing is simple (not complicated) and does not involve damaged cartilage.
- You do not have other serious lung conditions like large air pockets, a hole between your windpipe and food pipe, or active cancer in your windpipe.
- You are not pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study tests a second round of a treatment called metered cryospray, which uses extreme cold to reduce the extra mucus and inflammation in the airways of people with chronic bronchitis. It is for people who have already completed two treatments in a previous cryospray study and may help improve breathing and quality of life.
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 trial tests a cold-treatment procedure (cryotherapy) to treat a stubborn cough caused by nerve signaling (not infections or common allergy/acid problems). It may help people whose cough has lasted at least 8 weeks and who have already tried to rule out other causes.
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 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.
