Collecting extra samples during lung procedures
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial collects extra samples (like tissue or fluid) that are left over from your routine lung procedure. It helps researchers study lung health without any extra risk to you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are seen at the Cardiopulmonary Center for a lung or breathing procedure.
- You are not pregnant at the time of the procedure.
- You are not currently in prison.

This study collects leftover lung tissue or biopsy samples from surgeries or bronchoscopies to create a biobank for future research. It may help researchers understand lung diseases better, but you won't receive any direct treatment from participating.
This study collects lung fluid and tissue (and sometimes nasal or breath samples) to store for future research. It aims to understand lung and airway biology, and you may help by donating samples during a short procedure.
This trial looks at “cough capture” samples to better understand what is happening in the lungs. You might be eligible if you’re having a bronchoscopy for medical reasons and don’t already have lung cancer.
This trial studies blood and tissue samples from people with COPD, IPF, or lung cancer to find markers that can help diagnose and predict these conditions. It aims to discover why some lung diseases progress to cancer.
This study collects airway samples (usually during a bronchoscopy), plus blood and/or urine, to help researchers study lung conditions. It may help advance understanding of lung disease and related biology, but it is not a treatment trial.
This study collects and stores (banks) samples from people who are currently being evaluated for lung cancer or receiving treatment. It helps researchers use these samples later for future diagnosis and research.
