Summary

This study is for patients scheduled for a bronchoscopy procedure for evaluation of lung transplantation, lung disease, and lung nodules. Those who give consent to participate in this study will be randomized into one of two lung biopsy sampling method groups: Group 1) 1.1 mm single-use Cryoprobe or Group 2) conventional 2.0 mm forceps. These devices are used with a bronchoscope to obtain lung tissue biopsy samples and are being evaluated to determine which is better for confirming a diagnosis. All procedures will be done via standard of care and screening will be accomplished via medical chart review. Subjects will have two in-person appointments and one follow-up telephone call. The first of which is their standard of care office visit with the doctor to go over their plan of care. The second visit is for the standard of care bronchoscopy procedure to obtain biopsy samples. Thirty days following the procedure, a member of the study team will call the subject to assess whether any adverse events may have occurred since the procedure.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to identify whether investigational blood and tissue testing can detect cancer cells in the blood stream can tell if subjects are responding to their individual treatment plans.

Participation will last as long as the subject's individual treatment plan and will consist of collecting tissue biopsies (10 slides), which will be taken during the subject's standard of care procedure, as well as blood draws (between 1 and 2 tablespoons), which will be taken during each of the subject's standard of care clinic appointments throughout their care journey.
