About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center Clinical Study of the Hybrid APC Therapy in Early Central Lung Neoplasms

1.1 Aims:This cohort study aims to investigate the clinical value of Hybrid APC for treatment of early central lung neoplasms.

1.2 methods:A total of 30 patients with early central lung neoplasms will be included in this open, multicenter, prospective study. Primary observation endpoint is recorded at 3 months follow-up, and after 3 months patients could be continued to follow up. The data are expressed in terms of mean and percentage. The categorical variables are analyzed by chi-square test, and the four table data is analyzed using the exact probability method. The continuous variable analysis is used by t test. Statistical analysis is performed with SPSS 20.0 software. P < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, multicenter, and cohort study. Study subjects: patients with early central lung neoplasms meet inclusion/exclusion criteria and could receive interventional therapy.

There are 3 study site in this study and a total of 30 patients with early central lung cancer will be included.

HybridAPC is integrated with traditional APC and water-jet technique, which has been successfully applied for endoscopic treatment of mucosal lesions in GI, such as Barrett esophageal and lesions in colon. Submucosal injection of water jet can elevate superficial lesion, and then APC can be more effective in ablation of superficial tumor with a protection for muscular layer. The application of HybridAPC in respiratory intervention could theoretically protect cartilage, adventitia, reduce damage and formation of scare, and increase ablation energy to reach radical treatment.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Hybrid APC Therapy GroupExperimental1) Patients are diagnosed as early central lung neoplasms (severe dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, microinvasive carcinoma,mucoepidermoid carcinoma.etc.) by inquiry of the first doctor, CT test, endoscopy and histopathology. Patients who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria are not suitable for or refuse surgery.
Receives: Procedure: Hybrid APC

What is being measured

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

  1. Successful remission rate:

    successful remission is defined as absence of intraepithelial neoplasia in biopsies of original locations at 3 months after HybridAPC upon follow up

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Complications

    possible complications include perforation, bleeding, fever, stenosis, cough and etc.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hybrid APC in people with Lung Neoplasms, run by Jiayuan Sun at 1 site in China.

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 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jul 2025. 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 China. 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 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?

Successful remission rate: (time frame: 3 months). 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 10 Jul 2025.
