About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of the Safety, Efficacy, and Side Effects of Interventional Cryotherapy for the Eradication of Disease in the Pleural Space ("ICE PLS")

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and side effects of the CryoSpray Ablation(TM) System (CSA(TM) System) to treat neoplastic lesions on the parietal pleural surface.

Read the detailed description

The proposed study is a pilot study consisting of an estimated 10 subjects with biopsy-proven metastatic cancer in the parietal pleural surface treated with CryoSpray at dye marked metastatic foci.

Initial treatment dosimetry will be up to 3 cycles of 10-40 second sprays. If necessary, dosimetry changes may occur after 3 subjects are treated and observed. It is unknown if dosimetry will need to be increased to enhance effectiveness. The PI may increase dosimetry by 1 cycle after each subject is treated and observed as a conservative approach to efficacy determination. If disease exists bilaterally, only one side will be sprayed.

What participants receive

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

  • CryoSpray Ablation (TM) SystemDevice

    Also called CSA (TM) System, CryoSpray Therapy, CSA, Cryotherapy

    Subjects will be treated with spray cryotherapy using the CryoSpray Ablation (TM) System at Day 0 using up to 3 cycles of 10-40 second sprays as the studied dosimetry and will cover the affected area, including the tumor and the parietal pleural surface. If disease exists bilaterally, only one side will be sprayed. Subjects will be assessed 2-5 days from the initial treatment (Day 0) to check for mucosal sloughing, to reassess tumor burden and for additional CSA therapy as needed.

What is being measured

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

  1. To Reduce Tumor Burden in the Pleural Space, as Determined by Visual Inspection and Biopsy of the Treatment Sites 2-5 Days Post Treatment. Safety Endpoint Clinical and Radiographic Status at 30 Days Post CryoSpray Treatment and Adverse Events.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)

  1. To Determine if CryoSpray Causes a Pleurodesis Effect. To Determine if CryoSpray Affects Production of Malignant Effusion Within the Treated Pleural Cavity. To Determine if Pleural Cavity Treatment With CryoSpray is Dosimetry Dependent.

    Measured: 1 year

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 2015. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Jun 2015). 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?

To Reduce Tumor Burden in the Pleural Space, as Determined by Visual Inspection and Biopsy of the Treatment Sites 2-5 Days Post Treatment. Safety Endpoint Clinical and Radiographic Status at 30 Days Post CryoSpray Treatment and Adverse Events. (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT00747916, which also lists 18 linked publications.

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 16 Jul 2015.
