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 trial tests a new way to take tissue samples (biopsies) from enlarged lymph nodes in the chest using a special microscope during a bronchoscopy. The goal is to make the diagnosis more accurate and safer.
This study tests a special microscope attached to a bronchoscopy scope that helps doctors see lung tissue in real time. It may help identify whether a lung nodule is cancer more quickly and accurately during the same procedure.
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 looks at a special biopsy method called cryobiopsy, which uses cold to collect tissue samples from lung spots seen on CT scans. It aims to see how safe and effective this method is for diagnosing these spots.
This trial uses a very thin freezing needle to take a sample (biopsy) and then freeze and destroy lung nodules that may be cancer. It is for people whose nodules are small and who cannot or choose not to have surgery or radiation.
This study tests a new way to take a small sample of tissue from a lung spot using a special camera and freezing technique. It aims to make the diagnosis process safer and more effective.
