Collecting lung tissue samples for research
Treatments studied
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study collects leftover lung tissue or biopsy samples from surgeries or bronchoscopies to create a biobank for future research. It may help researchers understand lung diseases better, but you won't receive any direct treatment from participating.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male or female, adult or child.
- You are having thoracic surgery (like removing part of a lung) or a bronchoscopy (a tube with a camera into the airways) with biopsies or washings as part of your care at a participating hospital.
- You or your parent/guardian (if you are a child) have received an information note and have not objected to being part of the study.
- You must not have expressed opposition to participating in this research.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 lung fluid and tissue (and sometimes nasal or breath samples) to store for future research. It aims to understand lung and airway biology, and you may help by donating samples during a short procedure.
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 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 study collects lung tissue samples during planned surgery to look at the cells and genes involved in COPD. It aims to understand why the disease gets worse over time.
This study looks at how the body’s “innate” (first-line) immune system works in people with COPD compared with healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand COPD inflammation and how immune responses could be targeted in the future.
