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 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 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 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 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.
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 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.
