Trial summary

The Archimedes System is an image-guided navigation system used to access tissue samples in the lungs. This study is being conducted to confirm the performance of the Archimedes System in patients who are scheduled for standard bronchoscopy to diagnose highly suspicious lung cancer or metastatic disease.

Who may be able to join

About this study

The Archimedes System is an image-guided navigation system used to access tissue samples in the lungs. This study is being conducted to confirm the performance of the Archimedes System in patients who are scheduled for standard bronchoscopy to diagnose highly suspicious lung cancer or metastatic disease. Navigation to and sampling of the patient's lung cancer tumor is conducted.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Navigation and tissue samplingExperimentalGuided bronchoscopic navigation and lung tissue sampling using the Archimedes System
Receives: Device: Archimedes System

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of biopsies yielding tissue sufficient for diagnosis

    The the number of nodules with at least one biopsy sufficient for a definitive tissue diagnosis divided by the number of nodules sampled by the Archimedes System.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Procedure planning time

    The time from selecting the patient CT until the tunnel path has been selected, reviewed and exported.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  2. Nodule access time

    The time from the start of navigation until the sheath has been placed at the first biopsy target.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  3. Fluoroscopy time

    The total fluoroscopy time from the start of fused-fluoroscopic navigational guidance to the time the devices are removed from the point of entry.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  4. Patient registration time

    The total time it takes to correlate the patient's position via fluoroscopy with the navigational guidance system.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Archimedes System in people with Lung Cancer, run by Broncus Medical Inc 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 7 inclusion and 28 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 27 Jan 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Updates to device). 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?

Proportion of biopsies yielding tissue sufficient for diagnosis (time frame: Up to 1 year). 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 27 Jan 2017.
