About this study

Official title: CT-guided Percutaneous Microwave Ablation for Pulmonary Metastases From Colorectal Cancer

(MWA) is the most recent development in the field of local ablative therapies. The aim of this study was to evaluate CT-guided percutaneous microwave (MW) ablation safety and efficacy in pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

From June 2010 to June 2015, 48 unresectable lesions in 32 patients with pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer were selected for CT-guided microwave ablation. Patients were scheduled for a 1 and 3 month CT follow-up to evaluate lesion diameter.We retrospectively evaluated CT-guided percutaneous microwave (MW) ablation safety and efficacy in pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing microwave ablation in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by The First People's Hospital of Changzhou.

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 6 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 15 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

Overall Survival (OS) (time frame: one year). 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 NCT02502630, 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 15 Aug 2016.
