Testing a new freezing tool for lung procedures
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial evaluates a new disposable cryocatheter (a thin, freezing tool) used during bronchoscopy—a procedure where doctors look inside your airways. The study is gathering information on how well this specific tool works for diagnostic and treatment purposes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a bronchoscopy procedure
- Your doctor has planned to use a 1.7mm cryocatheter (a specific size of freezing probe)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You can provide informed consent to participate

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 study tests a new freezing tool (cryoprobe) used during lung transplant surgery to see if it can safely destroy abnormal tissue. The procedure is done on the lungs after they are removed from the body, so it does not affect the patient directly.
This study tests a new way to freeze and destroy small lung tumors using a thin tube with a camera (bronchoscope) to guide the freezing probe. It is for people with early-stage lung cancer or limited lung metastases who cannot or prefer not to have surgery or radiation.
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 tests a robotic system to freeze and destroy small lung tumors. It may be an option if you cannot have surgery or standard treatments haven't worked.
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.
