Testing cryo biopsies for lung lesions
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lung lesion seen on a CT scan that is surrounded by normal lung tissue.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a bronchoscopy where forceps will be used to take samples from the lesion.

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 compares two ways to freeze and destroy small lung tumors: through the chest wall or through the airways. It’s for people with early-stage lung cancer who are not able or willing to have surgery.
This study tests a new freezing tool (cryoprobe) used during lung transplant surgery to see if it can safely destroy abnormal tissue. The procedure is done on the lungs after they are removed from the body, so it does not affect the patient directly.
This trial compares two ways of taking a tissue sample from a small lung nodule: traditional forceps (like tiny tweezers) versus a newer freezing method (cryobiopsy). It will help find out which technique is better at getting enough tissue for diagnosis with fewer side effects.
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.
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.
