Cryoprobe Biopsy for Chronic Rejection in Lung Transplant
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new biopsy method called cryoprobe (using a cold probe) to better detect chronic rejection in lung transplant patients. It is for patients who already need a lung biopsy, either for routine monitoring or because of a concern.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have received a double lung transplant (not a single lung)
- You are already scheduled for a lung biopsy as part of your care
- You are not taking blood thinners that cannot be stopped before the procedure (aspirin is fine)
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or very low platelets

This study looks at using a special lab test (microarrays) on tissue taken during a lung transplant biopsy. It aims to learn how the test may help doctors better diagnose and guide care after transplant.
This study uses a special MRI scan (called hyperpolarized gas MRI) to check for signs of lung rejection after a transplant. The goal is to see if the MRI can help detect rejection earlier and more safely than standard bronchoscopy alone.
This study looks at ways to improve outcomes for people who are waiting for or have recently received a lung transplant. It aims to find better management strategies for both donors and recipients.
This study looks for lab “clues” that can help predict how well someone’s lungs will do after a lung transplant. It may help doctors spot transplant-related problems earlier so care can be planned sooner.
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 looks at a special biopsy method called cryobiopsy, which uses cold to collect tissue samples from lung spots seen on CT scans. It aims to see how safe and effective this method is for diagnosing these spots.
