Enb with ultra-thin cryobiopsy for lung nodule diagnosis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to get tissue samples from small lung nodules using a special scope and freezing technique. It may help diagnose cancer without more invasive procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old
- You have a lung nodule (8–30 mm) found on a CT scan that needs a biopsy
- The nodule is in a smaller airway (segmental bronchus or below) and can't be reached with a standard scope
- If you have multiple nodules, only one will be the target
- No conditions that make a lung scope unsafe (like bleeding risks or a device that interferes)

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 trial tests a new, special microscope that fits on a bronchoscope to see lung cells in real time. It may help doctors quickly tell if a lung nodule is cancer during the procedure.
This trial compares a new thin bronchoscope with an ultrathin one to see which is better at diagnosing small lung nodules found on chest imaging. It may help you avoid more invasive procedures.
This trial compares two ways of taking a tissue sample from a small lung nodule: traditional forceps (like tiny tweezers) versus a newer freezing method (cryobiopsy). It will help find out which technique is better at getting enough tissue for diagnosis with fewer side effects.
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 a new combination of a special scope (CLE) with a freezing biopsy tool to see if it can better diagnose lung spots found on CT scans. It may help you get a clearer diagnosis with fewer risks.
