About this study

Official title: Transbronchial Versus Transthoracic Ablation for Early Stage Peripheral Lung Cancer: a Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of RFA through a transthoracic or transbronchial approach in the treatment of early-stage peripheral lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed as a prospective, randomized controlled trial with 110 participants, randomized in a 1:1 ratio to CT-guided RFA and bronchoscopy-guided RFA groups. The primary study endpoint is the complete ablation rate at 6 months post-ablation. Secondary study endpoints are technical success rate, complete ablation rate at 12 months post-ablation, local control rate at 1, 2, and 3 years post-ablation, progression free survival, overall survival, and safety. Demographic data, clinical baseline characteristics, CT follow-up data, and safety data will be collected and recorded.

Being tested
The disposable pulmonary radiofrequency ablation catheter and pulmonary radiofrequency ablation system, The disposable percutaneous radiofrequency ablation needle and pulmonary radiofrequency ablation system

What participants receive

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

  • The disposable pulmonary radiofrequency ablation catheter and pulmonary radiofrequency ablation systemDevice

    Procedure: In combination with guided bronchoscopy and CBCT, the ablation catheter is placed in the target lesion. CBCT confirms the tool in the lesion, adjusts the position of the ablation catheter, and monitors the extent of ablation.

  • The disposable percutaneous radiofrequency ablation needle and pulmonary radiofrequency ablation systemDevice

    Procedure: The ablation needle is punctured into the lesion under CT guidance. The extent of the ablation is monitored by CT.

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete ablation rate at 6 months after ablation

    It is defined as the proportion of lesions with complete ablation to all ablated lesions at 6 months after ablation.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Technical success rate

    It is defined as the proportion of lesions which the ablation needle reached and successfully ablated to all lesions intended for ablation.

    Measured: Immediately after ablation

  2. Complete ablation rate 12 months after ablation

    It is defined as the proportion of lesions with complete ablation to all ablated lesions at 12 months after ablation.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Local control rate at 1 year, 2 years and 3 years after ablation

    It is defined as the proportion of lesions with complete ablation and incomplete ablation to all ablated lesions at 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years after ablation.

    Measured: 1 year, 2 years and 3years

  4. Progression free survival (PFS)

    It is defined as the duration from the ablation to the first occurrence of disease progression or the death of the subject.

    Measured: 3 years

  5. Overall survival (OS)

    It is defined as the total time from the ablation to the death of the subject.

    Measured: 3 years

  6. Safety

    To assess the incidence of device- or procedure-related (serious) adverse events occurring during the study.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing The disposable pulmonary radiofrequency ablation catheter and pulmonary radiofrequency ablation system and The disposable percutaneous radiofrequency ablation needle and pulmonary radiofrequency ablation system in people with Stage IA Lung Cancer, run by Hangzhou Broncus Medical Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 13 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Dec 2023. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Jiayuan Sun, MD, PhD (86-021-22200000 ext. 1511, xkyyjysun@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complete ablation rate at 6 months after ablation (time frame: 6 months). 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 6 Dec 2023.
