Location Kantonsspital St.Gallen

Aim Proof of feasibility of thoracoscopic ectomy of radioactively marked pulmonary nodules with the help of free-hand SPECT.

Background In the Cantonal Hospital of St.Gallen an average of 30 - 40 patients will be operated with thoracoscopic ectomy for a pulmonary nodule. When localisation of the nodule is not possible a switch to minithoracotomy is performed.

Study intervention Marking of pulmonary nodules with radioactivity. Free-hand SPECT guided surgery

Risks Risks of bronchoscopic or CT-intervention Radiation risk (minimal)

Rational for patient number 10 patients for each group are enough to prove the feasibility, to manage difficulties and to record complications

Duration approximately 24 months.

Being tested
Radioactive labelling of pulmonary nodules, CT guided radioactive labelling, Electromagnetic guided bronchoscopic radioactive labelling
Keywords
Solitary Pulmonary Nodule, Thoracoscopy, Thoracic Surgery, Video-Assisted, Radioactive Tracers, Radioguided surgery, Handheld-SPECT
Medical subject headings
Solitary Pulmonary Nodule, Bronchial Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • Radioactive labelling of pulmonary nodulesDrug

    Also called Tc-99m MAA (Maasol GE)

    Application directly into a pulmonary nodule

  • CT guided radioactive labellingDevice

    Also called CT GE (PET-CT Discovery)

    CT guided puncture is a standard procedure in radiology. In this study it is used to mark pulmonary nodules for the following thoracoscopic surgery, done with a handheld-SPECT device.

  • Electromagnetic guided bronchoscopic radioactive labellingDevice

    Also called iLogic, Firme SuperDimension

    Electromagnetic guided bronchoscopy is a standard procedure. In this study it is used to mark pulmonary nodules.

What is being measured

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

  1. Successful thoracoscopic ectomies

    Rate of successful thoracoscopic ectomies (i.e. without reversion to (mini-)thoracotomy and without any complications)

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. CT labelling

    Success rate of CT labelling

    Measured: 1 day

  2. CT Labelling complications

    complication rate attributable to CT labelling

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Successful labeling using electro-magnetically navigated bronchoscopy

    Rate of successful labeling using electro-magnetically navigated bronchoscopy

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Complications after labeling using electro-magnetically navigated bronchoscopy

    Complication rate after labeling using electro-magnetically navigated bronchoscopy

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Radioactive labelling of pulmonary nodules, CT guided radioactive labelling and Electromagnetic guided bronchoscopic radioactive labelling in people with Solitary Pulmonary Nodule and Bronchial Neoplasms, run by Cantonal Hospital of St. Gallen at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 2 Feb 2017. 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 Switzerland. 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Ende of part 1. Only few patients in part 2 enrolled). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Successful thoracoscopic ectomies (time frame: 1 week). 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 NCT02050724, 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 2 Feb 2017.
