Collecting leftover lung and airway tissue for research
Treatments studied
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study collects leftover tissue from surgeries or bronchoscopies to build a biobank for future respiratory research. It doesn't change your treatment plan and may help scientists better understand lung diseases.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a male or female of any age, including children.
- You are having a chest surgery (like removing part of a lung) or a bronchoscopy (a procedure to look inside your airways) at a participating hospital.
- The surgery or procedure is part of your regular care or another research study.
- You (or your parent or guardian, if you are a child) have received information about this tissue collection and have not objected.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how the immune system works and how well diseases like asthma, COPD, and others are controlled. You may join if you have one of these conditions or if you are a healthy volunteer or smoker without lung disease.
This study collects samples from your lungs and airways to help researchers better understand lung diseases. It is not a treatment study, but your participation could help improve future care for people with lung conditions.
This study collects airway samples (usually during a bronchoscopy), plus blood and/or urine, to help researchers study lung conditions. It may help advance understanding of lung disease and related biology, but it is not a treatment trial.
This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
This trial looks at “cough capture” samples to better understand what is happening in the lungs. You might be eligible if you’re having a bronchoscopy for medical reasons and don’t already have lung cancer.
This trial looks at lung tissue from people with COPD to understand how the disease affects individual cells. It may help develop better treatments in the future.
