About this study

Official title: Replacement of the Airways and/or the Pulmonary Vessels Using a Cryopreserved Arterial Allograft

  • First study (BRONC-ART) The purpose of this prospective study is to evaluate the 90-day morbidity and mortality rates of bronchial transplantation using cryopreserved aortic allograft in proximal lung cancer surgery. The investigators hypothesize that this stage 1-2 surgical innovation could be safe and effective in order to reduce the 90-day morbidity and mortality rates compared to those observed with pneumonectomy, especially when some factors are present: age > 70 years, right side, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
  • Current study (TRACHEO BRONC-ART) The BRONC-ART study was extended to major (malignant or benign) lesions of the trachea requiring airway transplantation.

For these patients, resection followed by direct end to end anastomosis is not possible or at high risk.

Read the detailed description

Surgery remains the best option for curative treatment of early stages Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Peripheral tumors are usually resected using lobectomy with a low 90-day morbidity and mortality rate (2%). Central NSCLC often require a pneumonectomy with a high 90-day morbidity and mortality rate (up to 24%), especially when some factors are present: age > 70 years, right side, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. On the other hand, bronchoplastic lobectomies have been proposed in order to avoid pneumonectomy. However, more than fifty years after their first description, bronchoplastic lobectomies remain uncommon (<1% of all pulmonary resection). This could be explained by some technical difficulties showing the potential interest of a bronchial substitute. In a 10-year research phase on a sheep model (n=108), we demonstrated that aortic grafts could be valuable substitutes for tracheobronchial replacement. We observed a progressive transformation of the aortic tissue into airway tissue comprising epithelium and regenerated cartilage. The technique was extended to clinical tracheal replacement by us and others with encouraging results. We proposed to evaluate the feasibility of the use of a stent-supported cryopreserved aortic allograft as a bronchial substitute to prevent pneumonectomy and its associated high mortality rate in NSCLC surgery. Primary outcome will be the 90-day mortality. Secondary outcomes will be the postoperative complications, the 90-day morbidity. This prospective open study will include 20 to 30 patients according to eligibility criteria (see below). The operation will consist of the curative resection of the NSCLC followed by the replacement of a bronchial segment using a cryopreserved allograft in order to re-implant a functional pulmonary lobe. A stent will be placed in the graft to prevent airway collapse.

-Current study (TRACHEO BRONC-ART) The BRONC-ART study was extended to major (malignant or benign) lesions of the trachea requiring airway transplantation. For these patients, resection followed by direct end to end anastomosis is not possible or at high risk.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Airway and/or pulmonary Vessels Transplantation in people with Lung Cancer and Tracheal Neoplasm, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 7 inclusion and 7 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 Sep 2020. 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 France. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

90-day mortality (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT01331863, 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 Sep 2020.
