What participants receive

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

  • CryoSpray Ablation SystemDevice

    CSA Medical, Inc. (formerly CryMed Technologies, Inc.) received FDA market clearance for the CSA System (CryoSpray AblationTM System, formally Cryo Ablator System) on April 21, 2006. It is a Class II device "intended to be used as a cryosurgical tool for the destruction of unwanted tissue in the field of general surgery, specifically for endoscopic applications" (K070893). As defined by the FDA, the CSA System is a cryosurgical unit with a liquid nitrogen cooled cryocatheter and accessories used to destroy tissue during surgical procedures by applying extreme cold

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary safety endpoint for this study is patient safety

    Measured: Throughout study

  2. The primary efficay endpoint is histological effects of cryospray therapy in lobectomy patients

    Measured: Throughout Study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing CryoSpray Ablation System in people with Lung Cancer, run by CSA Medical, Inc. at 1 site 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jan 2014. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The primary safety endpoint for this study is patient safety (time frame: Throughout study). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00747773, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Jan 2014.
