Cryobiopsy for diagnosing lung spots
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a spot (lesion) in the outer part of your lung seen on a CT scan.
- You are willing to have a bronchoscopy (a tube with a camera inserted into your airways).
- You can understand the study and agree to follow its procedures and sign a consent form.
- You do not have any condition that makes bronchoscopy unsafe (like severe bleeding problems, recent heart attack, or severe lung disease).

This study tests a new microscope probe called CelTouch that doctors can use during a lung biopsy to see cells in real time, which may help diagnose lung lesions more accurately.
This study tests a new way to take a small sample of tissue from a lung spot using a special camera and freezing technique. It aims to make the diagnosis process safer and more effective.
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 biopsy lung spots that appear as ground-glass opacities on CT scans. It uses a special microscope during bronchoscopy (a tube through the mouth into the lungs) to find the spot and then takes a tissue sample with a freezing probe. The goal is to get a more accurate diagnosis with fewer complications.
This trial is studying a procedure called cryobiopsy, which uses extreme cold to take tissue samples from the lungs. It aims to see how safe and effective it is for diagnosing conditions like interstitial lung disease or lung cancer, especially when other tests haven't worked.
This study tests a new way to get tissue samples from small lung nodules using a special scope and freezing technique. It may help diagnose cancer without more invasive procedures.
