Cryobiopsy for lung spots: a real-world study
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
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 or growth in your lung seen on a CT scan.
- You are willing to have a bronchoscopy (a thin tube placed through your mouth into your lung).
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy.
- You do not have serious bleeding problems or take blood thinners that can't be stopped.
- You do not have a severe heart or lung condition, an active medical implant, or a known allergy to anesthetics.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a new combination of a special scope (CLE) with a freezing biopsy tool to see if it can better diagnose lung spots found on CT scans. It may help you get a clearer diagnosis with fewer risks.
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 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 get tissue samples from small lung nodules using a special scope and freezing technique. It may help diagnose cancer without more invasive procedures.
This trial tests if a remote-controlled robotic bronchoscope can safely and reliably take tissue samples from hard-to-reach spots in the lung. If you have a suspicious lung nodule that needs a biopsy, this study may help determine whether the robot-based approach works as well as standard bronchoscopy.
