About this study

Evaluate the preliminary safety and performance of the Electrosurgery Applicator (ANET device) during and after bronchoscopic ablation of a target pulmonary nodule/tumor.

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective, single arm, single center study that will evaluate the effectiveness of the ANET Electrosurgery Applicator in up to 10 subjects.

Subjects who consent to participate in this study will have a lung tumor that is scheduled to be removed surgically as part of their normal treatment. During the surgical procedure, just prior to resection the subject's tumor will be treated with the ANET device. The ANET device uses a bronchoscope to reach the tumor. Ultrasound on the bronchoscope, CT, and X-rays are used to make sure the ANET device is in the tumor. Once in the tumor, the ANET device uses radio-frequency (RF) ablation to treat the tumor. After standard surgical resection the tumor and surrounding tissue is evaluated to characterize the effect of the ANET.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RF Ablation in people with Lung Cancer and Lung Cancer Metastatic, run by Olympus Corporation of the Americas at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 5 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 3 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States, 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Sep 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

ANET Related Peri-procedural Adverse Events (time frame: Day 0). 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 3 Apr 2024.
