Blood Vessels and Lung Tumor Freezing Treatment Safety
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood vessels near lung tumors affect a freezing treatment called cryoablation, and tests a method to block vessels before treatment to make it safer and more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lung tumor smaller than 3 centimeters (about 1.2 inches)
- Your doctors have determined you need cryoablation (freezing treatment) for your lung tumor
- There are blood vessels larger than 3 millimeters within about half an inch around your tumor, which puts you at risk for incomplete treatment
- You are eligible for this type of surgery with no serious medical conditions that would prevent it
- You will receive only one freezing needle during the procedure

This trial compares two ways to freeze and destroy small lung tumors: through the chest wall or through the airways. It’s for people with early-stage lung cancer who are not able or willing to have surgery.
This study tests a freezing treatment (cryoablation) for lung nodules that look like ground glass and are confirmed to be cancer. It's for people who cannot or choose not to have surgery or radiation.
This study tests a robot that helps doctors freeze lung tumors using a CT scanner. It is for people with lung cancer who cannot have surgery and may benefit from a less invasive freezing treatment.
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 trial tests freezing tumors (cryoablation) combined with two drugs (Karelizumab and Apatinib) for people who have several small lung cancer spots in their lungs but no spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and helps shrink or control the tumors.
This study tests a freezing technique called cryoablation for people with small lung tumors (3 cm or less) who cannot have surgery or standard treatments. The procedure is done through a bronchoscope, a thin tube passed through the mouth into the lungs.
