  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • The subject must be 18 years of age or older.
  • The subject must be scheduled to undergo wedge resection or lobectomy via Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) for a lung nodule suspicious for or clinically proven to be primary lung cancer.
  • The subject must be able to tolerate general anesthesia and have cardiopulmonary reserve to tolerate the procedure.
  • The subject must be willing and able to comply with all study requirements and have understood and signed the informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • The subject is pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • The subject is scheduled to undergo sleeve lobectomy, segmentectomy, bi-lobectomy, pneumonectomy or Lung Volume Reduction Surgery (LVRS), or lung biopsy for suspected interstitial lung disease.
  • A rib-spreading thoracotomy incision is scheduled to be performed, however the use of an access incision without rib-spreading for specimen removal or to facilitate hilar dissection is allowed. VATS procedures that are converted in the operating room to open procedures are not exclusionary.
  • The subject has received pre-operative chemotherapy or radiation therapy for the lung cancer that will be resected.
  • The subject is scheduled to receive intra-operative brachytherapy.
  • The subject has other severe illnesses that would preclude surgery such as unstable angina or myocardial infarction within 3 months.

  • Re-operative surgery is excluded if it is on the same side as the previous surgery.
  • Investigator determines that participation in the study may jeopardize the safety or welfare of the subject.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Prolonged Air Leaks

    Defined as > 5 days by the Society for Thoracic Surgery

    Measured: Day 30

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Incidence of Air Leaks

    As recorded on the air leak log.

    Measured: Day 30

  2. Duration of Air Leak

    Measured in days. For patients discharged from the hospital with a Heimlich valve, the duration will be censored on the date of discharge.

    Measured: Day 30

  3. Length of Hospital Stay

    Measured: Approximately Day 6

  4. Duration of Chest Tube Following Surgery

    Chest tube duration was calculated as removal date - placement date + 1

    Measured: Approximately Day 5

  5. Incidence of Serosal Tearing

    Measured: Day 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ENDO GIA™ Stapler with TRI-STAPLE™ Technology in people with Lung Cancer, run by Medtronic - MITG at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 3 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?

Incidence of Prolonged Air Leaks (time frame: Day 30). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Jul 2014.
