Remote robotic freezing for small lung tumors
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to freeze and destroy small lung tumors using a robotic tube that goes through your mouth into your lungs, guided by 5G remote technology. It is for people who cannot or choose not to have surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, and want a less invasive option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a confirmed lung cancer that is either small (3 cm or less) or has spread to your lung from somewhere else, and you have no more than 3 spots to treat.
- You are able to do daily activities and be up and about, even if you need some help (ECOG score of 2 or less).
- You are not a candidate for or have decided against surgery, radiation, or anticancer drugs to treat your lung tumors.
- You can safely have a procedure that goes through your airways (bronchoscopy) using a robotic arm to freeze the tumor, and you are willing to have general anesthesia.

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 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 new way to treat small lung cancers during a scope procedure, followed by surgery. The treatment uses freezing and heat to destroy the tumor, and the study checks how safe and effective it is.
This trial studies a new surgical robot that uses only one small opening in the chest to remove a lung segment or lobe. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for patients who need this type of surgery.
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 tests a combination of a drug that helps your immune system fight cancer (serplulimab) and a procedure that freezes and destroys cancer cells (cryoablation) for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who cannot or choose not to have surgery or radiation. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
