  • Ages 18 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients aged 18 to 75 years with a suspicious nodule of malignancy (primary lung tumor or metastasis of another solid tumor whose largest diameter is greater than or equal to 8 mm):
  • Not associated with endobronchial tumor visible during inspection of tracheobronchial tree with soft bronchoscope
  • Located in any part of the lung more than 10mm from the pleura

Show all 13Show fewer
  • ATCD of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or suspicion of PAH defined by a measurement of systolic pulmonary arterial pressure greater than 50 mmHg on echocardiography (this examination is not systematic but the suspicion of PAH on the thoracic CT scan leads to other cardiac echocardiographic examinations or right heart catheterization in case of inconclusive ultrasound)

About this study

The aim of this study protocol is to evaluate the feasibility of biopsies using the new system called Archimedes® in 12 patients with solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN) suspicious of malignancy not accessible through current bronchoscopy techniques.

Read the detailed description

Due to the improvement of screening techniques, the detection of peripheral and isolated lesions is an increasingly frequent situation. However these SPN cause difficulties in obtaining a sample. Indeed, current endoscopic techniques remain insufficient in terms of performance. Moreover, computed tomography-guided percutaneous needle biopsy despite a very good sensitivity has many limitations related to the size of the lesions, the accessibility and important complications. The Archimedes® system is an improved version of LungPoint® and combines 3D reconstruction of chest images with intraoperative radioscopy. It uses a catheter to access through the bronchial wall the pulmonary parenchyma and navigate to the SPN. All included patients will receive anesthesia consultation, biological assessment and chest CT scan in thin sections. A surgical treatment will always be planned after presentation of the file in a meeting of multidisciplinary consultation of thoracic oncology. The Archimedes® procedure will be performed during a bronchoscopy under general anesthesia. Immediate monitoring consisted in a chest x-ray 1hour after the procedure. Patients' participation in the study will stop once they benefit from their thoracic surgery

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Archimedes procedureDevice

    All patients will initially have a scanner necessary for planning by the Archimedes system of the tunneling path. each patient will then undergo a general anesthesia as for any bronchoscopy. Then start the Archimedes procedure itself to reach the SPN

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of diagnostics obtained with the Archimedes system

    It will be the biopsy yield defined as the number of patients in whom the results of nodule biopsies performed with the Archimedes® system are consistent with the surgical specimen.

    Measured: Month 1

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Scheduling time of the procedure

    Procedure scheduling time defined by the number of minutes elapsed between recording the patient's chest scanner on the console and when the tunneling path was examined, selected, and exported

    Measured: Day 21

  2. Access time to the nodule

    Nodule access time defined as the number of minutes elapsed between the start of navigation and the placement of the sheath within the SPN

    Measured: Day 21

  3. Fluoroscopy time

    Fluoroscopy time defined by the number of minutes the patient is exposed to ionizing radiation

    Measured: Day 21

  4. Patient registration time

    Patient recording time defined as the number of minutes required to correlate the patient's position through fluoroscopy with the navigation aid system.

    Measured: Day 21

  5. morbi-mortality

    number of hemoptysis and pneumothorax

    Measured: Month 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Archimedes procedure in people with Bronchoscopy and Lung Cancer, run by University Hospital, Limoges at 1 site in France.

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 13 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 14 Sep 2021. 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 France. 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: Inclusion difficulties). 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?

Number of diagnostics obtained with the Archimedes system (time frame: Month 1). 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 14 Sep 2021.
