Freezing lung tumors guided by a breathing tube camera
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old.
- You have one or a few small lung tumors (each 3 cm or smaller, up to 3 tumors).
- Your cancer is either stage IA lung cancer or a lung metastasis from another cancer that is well controlled.
- You are not able or choose not to have surgery or radiation for your lung tumor(s).
- You are generally healthy enough for a bronchoscopy (no severe heart, lung, or bleeding problems).

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.
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 trial tests a combination of a drug that helps your immune system fight cancer (serplulimab) and a procedure that freezes and destroys cancer cells (cryoablation) for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who cannot or choose not to have surgery or radiation. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
This trial tests a new way to freeze and kill lung tumors using a thin tube (bronchoscope) guided by a robot. It's for people with small tumors in the outer part of the lung who aren't having surgery or radiation, and it offers another treatment option.
This study tests a freezing technique, called cryoablation, to destroy small lung tumors. It may be an option if you cannot have surgery or other treatments, or if those treatments haven't worked.
This trial tests a treatment for early-stage lung cancer (stage I-IIA) that uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy the tumor, called cryoablation. Some patients will also receive an immunotherapy drug called serplulimab, which helps the immune system fight the cancer, to see if adding it improves outcomes.
