Cryobiopsy safety study in bronchial endoscopy
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is studying a procedure called cryobiopsy, which uses extreme cold to take tissue samples from the lungs. It aims to see how safe and effective it is for diagnosing conditions like interstitial lung disease or lung cancer, especially when other tests haven't worked.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not on blood thinners that cannot be paused for the procedure (like warfarin, heparin, or direct oral anticoagulants).
- You are not using two antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin and clopidogrel together).
- Your oxygen levels are above 90% even with extra oxygen, and you do not have severe heart or lung conditions.
- You have a lung condition that might need a cryobiopsy, such as interstitial lung disease or a suspicious lymph node or lesion in the chest.

This study tests a new way to take a tissue sample from swollen lymph nodes in the chest using a special microscope and a freezing biopsy tool. The goal is to see if this method is safe and effective for diagnosing the cause of the enlarged nodes.
This study tests a new way to take tissue samples from swollen lymph nodes in the chest using a thin tube passed through the mouth. It aims to see if this method is safe and effective.
This trial uses a special ultrasound-guided procedure to take tissue samples from swollen lymph nodes in the chest. It aims to improve diagnosis for people who already need a bronchoscopy.
This study tests a new method called 'cryobiopsy' (a cold biopsy) to take samples from lung spots. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe in everyday practice.
This trial tests if a newer, freezing biopsy method (cryobiopsy) is better than standard needle biopsy for diagnosing lymphoma in lymph nodes between the lungs. It could help avoid more invasive surgeries.
This study tests a new method that uses a special microscope during a routine lymph node biopsy procedure to see if it can help doctors get more accurate samples. It may improve diagnosis for patients with enlarged lymph nodes in the chest without known lung cancer.
