Trial summary

The objective or our study is to test the feasibility of a new optical-based breath-hold control (OBC) system for monitoring breath-hold levels and providing patient feedback during CT-guided biopsies of the lung and upper abdomen where respiratory motion is a problem. Read more about this study

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

  • Patients scheduled for a CT-guided lung or upper abdomen biopsy (including lesions in the liver, pancreas, stomach, kidneys, adrenals, spleen, or in the peritoneum at or above the level of the kidneys) on the SMH-CT-3M scanner when either Dr. Carlson or Dr. Bender are scheduled.
  • Lesions will need to measure 3 cm or less in maximum dimension and cannot be affixed to the chest or abdominal wall.

Who cannot join

  • Inability to cooperate with breath-holding (including cognitive impairment, poor pulmonary function that inhibits patients from being able to hold their breath for at least 10 seconds)
  • Patients with bleeding diatheses (platelets < 50,000, International Normalized Ratio > 1.5, or activated partial thromboplastin time > twice normal)
  • Lesions that abut the pleura or abdominal wall for a distance greater than 3 cm (these lesions were assumed to be fixed in position and less likely to be affected by respiratory motion).
  • Patients with implanted medical devices (pacemakers) (this exclusion is based on the Division of Engineering Safety Review-enclosed in application)

About this study

Official title: Use of an Optical Breath-hold Control (OBC) System for Image-guided Interventional Radiology Procedures: A Feasibility Study

The objective or our study is to test the feasibility of a new optical-based breath-hold control (OBC) system for monitoring breath-hold levels and providing patient feedback during CT-guided biopsies of the lung and upper abdomen where respiratory motion is a problem.

Read the detailed description
  1. Specific Aim #1: To further test the feasibility of the new OBC system for guiding accurate and reproducible breath-hold levels that correlate with internal target position in human volunteers. Hypothesis: The OBC system is as good as or better than the currently used IBC system with regard to accuracy and reproducibility of a reference breath-hold level.
  2. Specific Aim #2: To compare the use of 2 optical-based belts (wrapped around the chest and abdomen) versus 1 optical-based belt (wrapped around the chest or abdomen, depending on which region expands the most during respiration) with regard to accuracy and reproducibility of a pre-determined reference breath-hold level in a subset of patients (prone and/or obese). Hypothesis: The use of 2 optical-based belts allows increased accuracy and reproducibility of a pre-determined reference breath-hold level compared with the use of only one belt in this subset of patients.
  3. Specific Aim #3: To test the clinical feasibility of the new OBC system in patients undergoing CT-guided biopsy of the lung or upper abdomen where respiratory motion is a problem. Hypothesis: The OBC system is as good as or better than the currently used IBC system with regard to the accuracy and reproducibility of the reference breath-hold and ease of use.

What participants receive

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

  • Optical breath-hold control system (OBC)Device

    The OBC system was designed to replace the IBC rubber bellows respiration sensor system that we are currently using for CT-guided lung biopsies. Unlike the IBC, the OBC is 1) unaffected by temperature changes, 2) has a linear sensitivity (for easier use and better accuracy), 3) has no pneumatic purge time when setting reference breath-hold level (reducing the chance of an inappropriate reference), 4) has no pneumatic cable that can occasionally interfere and get pinched during procedures, 5) is ambulatory (so patients can more easily familiarize themselves with the device before the procedure), 6) is capable of indicating proper fitting tension, 7) allows for easier binding (wireless pairing with other system components), and 8) is significantly less expensive (and possibly disposable).

What is being measured

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

  1. Ability to monitor patient respiration (return of target to same anatomical position)

    Measured: Measured daily for each individual procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Needle Placement Time

    Measured: Measured daily for each individual procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study of Respiration, run by Mayo Clinic 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 2 inclusion and 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2011. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Ability to monitor patient respiration (return of target to same anatomical position) (time frame: Measured daily for each individual procedure). 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 17 May 2011.
