Assessment of the Safety, Side Effects and Efficacy of Interventional Cryotherapy for the Eradication of Benign Airway Disease("ICE THE BAD")
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and side effects of the
CryoSpray AblationTM System (CryoSpray AblationTM, "CSA" or "cryospray therapy") to treat
benign airway disease in the lung using liquid nitrogen sprayed through a catheter via
flexible fiber optic bronchoscopy (FFB)
CryoSpray AblationTM System (CryoSpray AblationTM, "CSA" or "cryospray therapy") to treat
benign airway disease in the lung using liquid nitrogen sprayed through a catheter via
flexible fiber optic bronchoscopy (FFB)
The proposed study is a single center pilot study consisting of up to 10 subjects with
benign airway disease. Treatment dosimetry will be up to 4, 5-second spray cycles. Subjects
will have initial cryospray treatment at Day 0. Subjects will undergo repeat bronchoscopy in
the first three to seven days after the initial treatment, to check for mucosal sloughing
and to reassess luminal patency of the airway. Subjects may undergo up to one bronchoscopy
per week with CSA therapy for a total of four (4) treatments in the first month. If they
present with symptoms thereafter, then a repeat bronchoscopy will be performed; if luminal
obstruction is noted, then the subject will begin the treatment protocol again. If disease
exists bilaterally, only one side will be sprayed initially.
