Public criteria

Who may be able to participate

The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.

Requirements people may need to meetInclusion criteria

English or Spanish-speaking patients scheduled for bronchoscopy/bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in thoracic clinics at Moffitt.

Reasons someone may not be able to joinExclusion criteria
  • Patients with a known prior history of lung cancer or that have undergone a Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) procedure at any time in the past in the involved lung targeted for BAL.
  • Patients that have had any prior lung or thoracic or surgeries or procedures (examples: removal of lung or portions of the involved lung (lobectomy, pneumonectomy, wedge resection/segmentectomy).
  • Patients with specimens that are considered to be non-adequate as true Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid (BALF) (i.e., absence of alveolar macrophages) after pathologist's evaluation will be excluded from the study.

Important: This is the sponsor’s public criteria, not a determination of eligibility. The study team must review your individual situation.
