The primary effectiveness endpoint is the proportion of subjects with a minimum of 25% improvement in luminal patency following SCT treatment and mechanical intervention 30 days (+/- 5 days) following treatment. Additionally, a primary clinical safety endpoint is the reporting of all adverse events.', 'detailedDescription': 'This multi-center prospective feasibility study will enroll at up to 6 clinical sites for a total of 30 subjects. Enrollment criteria includes subjects with clinically significant benign or malignant obstructions of the central airways, who require treatment intervention and are not candidates for surgical resection. The central airways are defined as including the trachea, left or right main bronchus, or the bronchus intermedius on the right. Spray cryotherapy (SCT) using the truFreeze system will be used in conjunction with mechanical interventions (balloon/rigid dilation or debridement of tumors) to improve airway patency. Subjects will receive up to 4, 5-second spray cycles prior to mechanical intervention (balloon/rigid dilation or debridement of tumors), followed by up to 4, 5-second additional spray cycles immediately following mechanical intervention.\n\nThe degree of airway narrowing will be estimated by the treating physicians before and after each treatment using a graded scale. Digital endoscopic images of each obstruction taken before and after each treatment, will also be assessed by a neutral assessor blinded to treatment. Subjects will be contacted on Day 1 following treatment to assess for any treatment related adverse events. Subjects may undergo a repeat bronchoscopy two weeks (14 days +/- 2 days) following the initial SCT treatment if clinically indicated or routine practice of the treating physician. A SCT treatment at a NORMAL flow setting may be performed at the 14 day bronchoscopy if deemed clinically indicated. If subjects are treated with SCT at the 14-day treatment, they will again be contacted on Day 1 following treatment to assess for any treatment related adverse events.\n\nA follow-up bronchoscopy to reassess luminal patency and treatment site healing response will be performed at 30 days (+/- 5 days) following the last SCT treatment. The last SCT treatment may be the initial treatment day or 14-day treatment if performed. again, the degree of airway narrowing will be estimated by the treating physicians using a graded scale and digital endoscopic images of each obstruction will be taken to be assessed by a neutral assessor blinded to treatment.\n\nThe primary efficacy endpoint for statistical analysis and study powering will be the proportion of subjects exhibiting an adequate (minimum of 25%) improvement in airway patency. Based on prior clinical experience with liquid nitrogen spray cryotherapy and other ablation techniques, a response rate of approximately 80% is anticipated. This study is powered to detect a 20% lower response rate (i.e. 60% or lower) compared to the expected rate.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
