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.
