Testing a freeezing tool on lungs removed during transplant
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new tool that freezes lung tissue to destroy it. It is done on lungs that are removed during a transplant, to see if the tool works safely before using it in patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a patient who is going to have a lung transplant operation.
- You must not be a healthy person or someone who is only donating their lungs.
- You must not have an active lung infection at the time of your transplant.
- This study is for patients already scheduled for lung transplant surgery.

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 way to treat small lung cancers during a scope procedure, followed by surgery. The treatment uses freezing and heat to destroy the tumor, and the study checks how safe and effective it is.
This study tests a freezing treatment (cryoablation) for lung nodules that look like ground glass and are confirmed to be cancer. It's for people who cannot or choose not to have surgery or radiation.
This study looks at ways to make lung freezing (cryoablation) more effective when a tumor sits near a blood vessel that could cool the freezing area and prevent complete treatment. It tests whether blocking certain blood vessels first can help freeze the tumor more completely.
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 freeze and destroy small lung tumors using a robotic tube that goes through your mouth into your lungs, guided by 5G remote technology. It is for people who cannot or choose not to have surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, and want a less invasive option.
