About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center Study of CryoSpray Ablation(tm)in Malignant Airway Disease to Determine, Safety, and Tissue Effect in the Lung (ICE the MAD)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, and tissue effect of the CryoSpray Ablation(TM) System (CryoSpray Ablation(TM), "CSA" or "cryospray therapy") at multiple centers to treat malignant airway disease in the lung using liquid nitrogen sprayed through a catheter via flexible fiber optic bronchoscopy (FFB)

Read the detailed description

The primary endpoint is efficacy of the cryogen on the tumor evaluated by histopathological data and visual inspection along with visual confirmation of an absence of scarring and stricturing of the airway. The primary safety endpoint is the reporting of all adverse events. The primary symptom measures are the St. Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and the Borg Dyspnea Index (BDI).

The secondary endpoint will consist of a measure of treatment efficacy and improvement in luminal patency assessed by visual inspection. If after the initial repeat bronchoscopy, the investigator determines that there is no immediate need for further intervention, then any future bronchoscopy will be performed upon the subject presenting with symptoms.

The proposed study will take place at up to three centers consisting of up to a total of 30 subjects with malignant airway obstruction. 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 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 with CSA therapy every seven days 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. Subjects may also have rigid/flexible bronchoscopy with laser or electrocautery snare for debulking of tumors. If disease exists bilaterally, only one side will be sprayed initially.

The study population consists of up to 30 subjects with malignant airway obstruction as a consequence of an endoluminal tumor that obstructs a portion of the respiratory tree below the vocal chords. These subjects will have been apprised of Standard of Care options, and will have rejected those options or have been deemed ineligible for them. Subjects must have a signed consent form and satisfy all study inclusion and exclusion criteria.

It is estimated that enrollment will take approximately 6 months. Each subject will receive CryoSpray treatments over the course of 1 year.

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Jul 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficacy of the Cryogen on a Tumor Evaluated by Histopathological Data and Visual Inspection Along With Visual Confirmation of Absence of Scarring and Stricturing of the Airway. The Primary Safety Endpoint is the Reporting of All Adverse Events. (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00748085, which also lists 18 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
