Studying windpipe tissue to understand non-cancerous narrowing
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a small piece of tissue from your windpipe to look at the genes and cells that cause benign (non-cancerous) tracheal stenosis. It aims to understand why the narrowing happens, which could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with tracheal stenosis (narrowing of the windpipe) that is not caused by cancer.
- You do not have active cancer anywhere in your body.
- You do not have an active infection at the time of the study.

This trial studies genetic changes in people with tracheal stenosis (narrowing of the windpipe). It compares two treatments: wedge resection (cutting out the narrow part) and radial incision (cutting to open it up). This may help doctors choose the best treatment in the future.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to repair a narrowed windpipe caused by injury, trauma, or long-term breathing tube use. The goal is to find which approach works best for patients who need surgery for severe or moderate narrowing.
This study is creating a scoring system using CT scans to predict if someone with tracheal stenosis (a narrowed windpipe) will need surgery. It may help doctors make quicker treatment decisions.
This trial tests a new way to repair a child's windpipe using a piece of donated aorta (a blood vessel) as a patch. It's for children who have severe breathing problems from a narrowed or damaged windpipe and cannot have standard surgery.
This study tests a smartphone app that analyzes your voice to help track laryngotracheal stenosis, a narrowing of the windpipe that can make breathing and speaking hard. You will record voice samples through the app, and researchers will see if the app can detect changes in your condition.
This study collects tissue (and follows patients over time) to better understand the natural course of several types of chest cancers. It may help researchers learn which tests and treatments work best in different cancer types.
