Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • The patient must meet all medical conditions for lung biopsy;
  • The patient must be at least 18 years of age;
  • The patient, or legal representative, must understand and provide written consent for the procedure;
  • The patient has a non-calcified, radiologically suspicious opacity or lung nodule, including a metastatic lung module, or mass of at least 1.0 cm in size; as determined by CT scan equipped with measurement software. Suspicious nodules observed by CT scan are defined as non-calcified masses with convex borders, not known to be stable. Suspicious nodules can also be defined as masses demonstrating opacity on chest x-ray that are suspicious by radiographic or clinical means and require biopsy.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with radiological findings of bullous emphysema located in the area of the anticipated biopsy and biopsy needle track;
  • Patients who cannot tolerate mild sedation, possibly secondary to poor respiratory status;
  • Female patients who are pregnant. Note: patients of childbearing potential must have a serum or urine pregnancy test no more than one week prior to the biopsy procedure, and be instructed not to have unprotected sexual intercourse after the test until the biopsy procedure is completed.
  • Patients who are uncooperative or cannot follow instructions.
  • Patients who are currently enrolled in another IDE or IND clinical investigation that has not completed the required follow-up period.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Multi-centered Safety and Efficacy Evaluation of the Bio-Seal Track Plug for Reducing Pneumothorax Rates Post Lung Biopsy

BS-1053 A Prospective Randomized Multi-Centered Safety and Efficacy Evaluation of the Bio-Seal Biopsy Track Plug for Reducing Pneumothorax Rates Post Lung Biopsy Procedures

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-centered, randomized trial in patients receiving lung biopsies. Patients will be randomized to either receive or not receive a Bio-Seal Biopsy Track Plug after a lung biopsy per standard hospital protocol. This study is designed to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the Bio-Seal Biopsy Track Plug in reducing pneumothorax rates post lung biopsy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence Rate of Treatment Success

    Treatment success was defined as the absence of a pneumothorax at each of the three follow-up time periods (0-60 minutes, 24 hours and 30 days).

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Incidence of Chest Tube Placement

    A chest tube is the definitive initial treatment of a pneumothorax.

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Time to Ambulation

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Incidence of Hospital Admissions for Pneumothorax

    Measured: 30 day

  4. Incidence of Adverse Events Related to the Procedure and Device Effects

    Anticipated, device-related adverse events that were defined in the original protocol.

    Measured: 30 Day

  5. Number of Participants With Additional Chest X-rays Needed

    Measured: 30 day

  6. Participants Discharged Beyond Hospital's Standard of Care

    Current standard of care for hospital discharge varies. Some institutions allow the patient to be discharged after a 3 hour wait. Others allow discharge after an x-ray indicates no pneumothorax. Since this study was randomized with control patients, the time to discharge beyond the hospital's standard of care was recorded to see if a trend for later discharge was apparent. This measure indicates the number of participants who were discharged later than their hospital's standard of care.

    Measured: 30-day

  7. Incidence of Adverse Events

    Any treatment emergent adverse events (not considered device related by the investigators).

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Bio-Seal Plug in people with Pneumothorax, run by Angiotech Pharmaceuticals at 18 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 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 27 Mar 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Mar 2013). 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 Rate of Treatment Success (time frame: 30 days). 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 27 Mar 2013.
