About this study

Official title: Clinical Description of a Bronchoscopic Approach to Ablate Lung Nodules Using the Emprint™ Ablation Catheter Kit With Thermosphere™ Technology

The purpose of this investigation is to characterize the safety and performance of the Emprint™ Ablation Catheter Kit with Thermosphere™ Technology in clinical use.

This is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter, non-randomized study. Up to 3 sites in up to 3 countries will enroll up to 30 subjects in total. The study is designed to characterize the safety and performance of the bronchoscopic ablation procedure using the Emprint™ Ablation Catheter Kit with Thermosphere™ Technology.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this prospective, single-arm, multicenter, non-randomized study is to characterize the safety of the Emprint™ Ablation Catheter Kit with Thermosphere™ Technology device in subjects undergoing lung ablation procedures.

The primary endpoint is the composite rate of adverse events related to the Emprint™ Ablation Catheter Kit with Thermosphere™ Technology through 1-month follow-up.

The following secondary endpoints will be evaluated:

  • Composite rate of serious adverse events related to the Emprint™ Ablation Catheter Kit with Thermosphere™ Technology through 1-month follow-up.
  • Composite rate of all adverse events related to the procedure or study devices through 1-month follow-up.
  • Composite rate of all serious adverse events related to the procedure or study devices through 1-month follow-up.
  • Patient satisfaction and pain (Bronchoscopic Ablation Patient Pain and Satisfaction Survey)
  • Quality of life (EQ-5D Scale)
  • Technical success
  • Technique efficacy

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Bronchoscopic ablation catheterDevice

    The Emprint™ Ablation Catheter Kit with Thermosphere™ Technology is deployed endoscopically and will be used to conduct bronchoscopic ablations in the lung using the superDimension™ navigation system.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With AEs Related to the Emprint™ Ablation Catheter Kit With Thermosphere™ Technology

    The primary endpoint is the rate of adverse events (AEs) related to the Emprint™ Ablation Catheter Kit with Thermosphere™ Technology through 1-month follow-up.

    Measured: During procedure through 1-month follow-up (an average of 20-40 days post-procedure)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number of Participants With SAEs Related to the Emprint™ Ablation Catheter Kit With Thermosphere™ Technology

    Rate of serious AEs (SAEs) related to the Emprint™ Ablation Catheter Kit with Thermosphere™ Technology through 1-month follow-up.

    Measured: During procedure through 1-month follow-up (an average of 20-40 days post-procedure)

  2. Number of Participants With AEs Related to Study Procedure or Study Devices

    Rate of all AEs related to the procedure or study devices through 1-month follow-up.

    Rate of all AEs related to the procedure or study devices through 1-month follow-up was also measured based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) classification. CTCAE grading is evaluated on a scale from 1-5 (1 - mild; intervention not indicated; 5 - most severe; death related to AE). Subjects could have more than one AE with different CTCAE Grades.

    Measured: During procedure through 1-month follow-up (an average of 20-40 days post-procedure)

  3. Number of Participants With SAEs Related to the Study Procedure or Study Devices

    Rate of all SAEs related to the procedure or study devices through 1-month follow-up.

    Measured: During procedure through 1-month follow-up (an average of 20-40 days post-procedure)

  4. Score of Patient Satisfaction, Pain, and Breathlessness

    Patient satisfaction, pain, and breathlessness (Bronchoscopic Ablation Patient Pain and Satisfaction Survey)

    At the 1-month visit, subjects assessed their pain/discomfort and breathlessness based on how they recall feeling at 3 different timepoints. The timepoints were immediately, one week, and one month after the bronchoscopic ablation procedure. Pain or discomfort were evaluated on a scale from 0-10 (10 - severe/interferes with basic needs). Breathlessness was evaluated on a scale from 1-5 (5 - too breathless to leave the house, or breathless when undressing).

    Subjects also evaluated their willingness to have the procedure performed again on a scale from 1-5 (5 - extremely likely), how likely they would recommend the procedure to family and friends on a scale from 1-5 (5 - extremely likely), and how satisfied they were with the procedure on a scale from 1-5 (5 - extremely satisfied).

    Measured: Immediately following the procedure, 1 week post-procedure, 1-month post-procedure; all were collected at the 1-month follow-up visit (20-40 days post-procedure)

  5. Score of Current Health State From Quality of Life Survey

    Quality of life evaluation based on EuroQol [EQ-5D-3L] survey. The questions from the survey surround current health status. The subjects assessed their current health state on a scale of 0-100 (100 being the best health state imaginable).

    Measured: Baseline and 1-month

  6. Number of Lung Nodules Evaluated as Being Treated According to the Study Protocol

    Technical success: An evaluation of whether the lung nodule was treated according to the study protocol as determined at the immediate post-procedural timepoint. This is in contrast to procedures in which the protocol could not be executed completely, either for technical reasons or for reasons related to comorbid disease.

    Measured: Immediately post-procedure

  7. Number of Lung Nodules Evaluated as Being Effectively Ablated

    Technique efficacy: An evaluation of whether the lung nodule was effectively ablated. Evaluates whether complete ablation of the nodule was achieved as evidenced by CT imaging follow-up 1-month post-procedure (including a window of 20-40 days post-procedure).

    Measured: 1-month follow-up (an average of 20-40 days post-procedure)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer, Lung and Cancer, Metastatic to Lung, run by Medtronic - MITG at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 10 inclusion and 5 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 15 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Hong Kong, United Kingdom. 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 15 Nov 2022). 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?

Number of Participants With AEs Related to the Emprint™ Ablation Catheter Kit With Thermosphere™ Technology (time frame: During procedure through 1-month follow-up (an average of 20-40 days post-procedure)). 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 15 Nov 2022.
