A Randomized Trial of Cryoprobe Versus Forceps for Transbronchial Biopsy (FROSTBITE-2)

Date Added
May 9th, 2023
PRO Number
Pro00124571
Researcher
Christopher Gilbert

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer, Lung, Pulmonary
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.

Neoadjuvant Screening Trial: LCMC4 Evaluation of Actionable Drivers in Early Stage Lung Cancer

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00127146
Researcher
Kathryn Engelhardt

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer/Lung, Lung, Men's Health, Women's Health
Summary

This collaborative study was developed by the Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium (LCMC) and supported by the Thoracic Surgery Oncology Group (TSOG). The purpose of this study is to determine if it is possible to identify genetic changes in the tumors or blood of patients with early-stage lung cancers using both blood-based and tumor-based testing when cancer is suspected or first diagnosed. In this trial, participants will be asked to provide blood samples at three different time points. They will also be asked for permission for tumor tissue to be sent to the researchers. Tumor tissue will be collected if there is a leftover sample from a participant's surgery. These samples will be sent to the researchers to be analyzed for genetic changes. The researchers hope that in the future, genetic changes can help doctors determine what the best treatment is for patients with early-stage lung cancer.

Sarah Miller

List of Studies


Keywords
COPD, Lung
Summary

The purpose of this study to test a smartphone app with a breathing device that aims to help patients monitor and manage their COPD and improve their quality of life. This device measures how well the lungs are working, like a lung function test. This study lasts for 6 months and study procedures can be conducted remotely with no required study clinic visits. Eligible participants will be given a breathing device called a remote spirometer and will be asked to download an app to their phone and use the device to monitor their lung function and symptoms. A total of 120 individuals with COPD who live in rural areas of SC will be enrolled in this study.
