About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Open-Label, Single-Arm, Single-Center Study Evaluating The Preliminary Safety And Accuracy Of The Actisight™ Needle Guidance System In Patients Undergoing CT-Guided Percutaneous Chest Aspiration And Biopsy

This study is intended to provide clinical data regarding safety and accuracy of the ActiSight™ Needle Guidance System in assisting Chest CT guided biopsies.

Conditions
Biopsy
Being tested
Biopsy needle guidance system (ActiSight™)
Keywords
Biopsy, Fine needle aspiration

What participants receive

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

  • Biopsy needle guidance system (ActiSight™)Device

    The ActiSight system assists in guiding an aspiration or biopsy needle, to a designated point within the body by means of CT visualization.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of target reached within a radius of 8 mm from the preplanned targeted point as measured on the final CT scan.

    Measured: Measure evaluated during entire course of study

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of needle punctures through the skin

    Measured: Measure evaluated during entire course of study

  2. Number of needle punctures through the pleura

    Measured: Measure evaluated during entire course of study

  3. Number of CT scans needed

    Measured: Measure evaluated during entire course of study

  4. Radial distance at target plane at the needle's final position as shown on the ActiSight screen

    Measured: Measure evaluated during entire course of study

  5. Adverse events following the procedure, including the following:Pneumothorax, Hemoptysis >100 ml, Bleeding, Collapsed lung, Chest drainage, Need for hospitalization

    Measured: Measure evaluated during entire course of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Biopsy needle guidance system (ActiSight™) in people with Biopsy, run by ActiViews Ltd. at 1 site in Israel.

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 6 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Frequency of target reached within a radius of 8 mm from the preplanned targeted point as measured on the final CT scan. (time frame: Measure evaluated during entire course of study). 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?
