About this study

Official title: Confirmation of Clinical Effectiveness and Safety of CT-guided Percutaneous Lung Aspiration and Biopsy Performed With the Aid of the ActiSightTM Needle Guidance System

This study is designed to provide clinical data regarding safety and clinical effectiveness of the ActiSight Needle Guidance System in assisting radiologically guided percutaneous needle biopsy or aspiration of pulmonary lesions, which is a common procedure.

Read the detailed description

This will be a prospective, single-arm study. At least three centers in Canada will participate in the study and at least 4 different experienced staff radiologists will perform the procedures for the study.

A total of forty eight (48) consecutive subjects meeting the eligibility criteria, scheduled for clinically indicated CT guided lung biopsy or aspiration procedure at the participating centers will be invited to enroll in the study. To ensure diversity in the study population, consecutive patients will be enrolled in the following groups until these groups are fully enrolled:

Lesion size ≥1.0 cm and ≤ 1.5 cm: 10 patients; Lesion size >1.5 and ≤ 3.0 cm: 19 patients; Lesion size >3.0 cm: 19 patients.

A maximum of 24 patients will be enrolled at each center.

Informed consent will be signed prior to the procedure. Subject data collection on the day of the procedure will include demographics, relevant medical history and vital signs. Enrolled subjects will undergo CT guided percutaneous lung aspiration and/or biopsy as clinically indicated by a qualified physician, utilizing the ActiSight Needle Guidance System. Subjects will be followed-up as outlined below to assess adverse events related to the procedure. A subject's enrollment in the study will be completed after the follow-up visit or after resolution of any procedure related adverse event.

A procedure difficulty classification is defined for this study, based on existing literature. Difficulty levels for all procedures will be recorded and included in the final report.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with successful targeting accuracy as defined by the frequency of placing the needle at a location suitable for obtaining tissue sample from the target lesion.

    Needle location suitable for obtaining tissue sample will be determined by a physician reviewing the CT images.

    All 48 subjects undergoing aspiration or biopsy procedures with the CT met the primary efficacy endpoint of placement of the procedure needle at a location suitable for obtaining a tissue sample from the target lesion as determined by the investigator (100%; 95% CI, 93-100%).

    Measured: 30 to 60 minutes after starting the biopsy procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Total CT-Guided procedure time Patient radiation exposure during the procedure Number of CT scans during the procedure

    Measured: 30 to 60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ActiSight Needle Guidance System in people with Lung Diseases, run by ActiViews Ltd. at 3 sites in Canada.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 21 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Canada. 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?

Number of patients with successful targeting accuracy as defined by the frequency of placing the needle at a location suitable for obtaining tissue sample from the target lesion. (time frame: 30 to 60 minutes after starting the biopsy 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 21 Dec 2012.
