Using a new cryocatheter for bronchoscopy
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new disposable tool called a cryocatheter, which is used during a bronchoscopy to freeze and remove tissue. It aims to see if this tool works well for diagnosing or treating lung problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a bronchoscopy procedure.
- Your doctor plans to use the 1.7mm cryocatheter during the procedure.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are able to give your informed consent.

This study compares a robotic-assisted bronchoscope to a conventional one for performing a lung biopsy (cryobiopsy) in people with interstitial lung disease. The goal is to see which method is better at getting enough tissue for a diagnosis.
This study checks how safe bronchoscopy is for people with interstitial lung disease (ILD), a condition that scars the lungs. It aims to provide better information to help doctors and patients decide if this procedure is right for them.
This study tests a technique using a special cold (cryogenic) catheter to collect samples (biopsy) and destroy abnormal lung tissue (ablation) in lungs outside the body. It’s aimed at improving how pulmonary (lung) lesions could be diagnosed and treated in the future.
This trial compares a new method called cryo biopsy to standard forceps biopsy for diagnosing lung lesions. It may help get better tissue samples with fewer procedures.
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.
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.
