Trial summary

In recent years, the development of low-dose pulmonary computed tomography screening has led to the discovery of many small pulmonary nodules in the early stages. Surgical resection is still the main treatment for those suspected malignant lesions. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Preoperative Localization With Microcoil Placement or Contrast Injection for Deep-seated Pulmonary Nodule : A Prospective Randomized Trial

In recent years, the development of low-dose pulmonary computed tomography screening has led to the discovery of many small pulmonary nodules in the early stages.

Surgical resection is still the main treatment for those suspected malignant lesions. In the face of such small pulmonary nodules, accurate preoperative localization has become the key to successful resection, and the deep-seated nodules are the most challenging parts. Because the deep-seated nodules cannot be localized by surface dye injection, however, it is necessary to place a fiducial marker (such as a microcoil) or contrast medium injection in combination with intraoperative fluoroscopy to ensure adequate resection of the deep-seated nodules. . This study will be carried out at the Hsinchu Branch of National Taiwan University Hospital. It is expected that 60 patients with pulmonary nodules with a depth larger than 2 cm will be randomly assigned into two groups. One group will receive microcoil placement, and the other group will receive contrast medium injection. The primary goal of the study was to compare the localization duration of the two groups of patients, the total dose of radiation exposure during localization and the incidence of location-related complications, and the secondary goals were the results of the surgical procedure, including the surgical duration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Procedure success rate

    Procedure success is defined as marking (lipiodol or hook-wire) the GGO lesion within 1 cm without pleural leakage of lipiodol or dislodgement of the hook-wire. The procedure success rate is calculated as follows: procedure success rate (%) = (number of procedure success / number of total procedure) × 100.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Successful localization for surgery

    Localization contribute to surgery

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Procedure-related complication rate

    Incidence of complications during needle procedure, The procedure-related complication rate is calculated as follows: procedure-related complication rate (%) = (number of procedure-related complication / number of total procedure) × 100.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Duration of the localization procedure

    From start of needle procedure to withdraw of the needle (minutes)

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Duration of wedge resection

    From start of surgery to completion of pulmonary wedge resection (minutes)

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Surgical margin of wedge resection

    Distance from pulmonary lesion to resection margin of the specimen

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Microcoil and Lipiodol in people with Lung Cancer, run by National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Dec 2018. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Procedure success rate (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 Dec 2018.
