Cryodevitalization for the Treatment of Early Stage Lung Cancer, CRYSTAL Trial

This clinical trial studies side effects and best treatment time of cryodevitalization in treating patients with early stage (stage I or stage II) lung cancer. Cryodevitalization is a type of cryosurgery that uses a flexible probe (cryoprobe) to kill tumor cells by freezing them. It is delivered at the time of standard diagnostic robotic bronchoscopy. Using cryodevitalization may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with early stage lung cancer.

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients with a single pulmonary nodule with a size less than or equal to three centimeters (average long and short axis) confirmed as malignant intraprocedurally (rapid on-site evaluation with pathology assessment showing lung cancer or oligometastatic disease) without evidence of mediastinal involvement who require nodule biopsy prior to proceeding with surgical resection

Nodules must be located in the outer 2/3 of the periphery of the lung, greater than 10 mm from the pleura and from large blood vessels or mediastinal structures to avoid injury to other visceral organs
