Trial summary

As the detection of small pulmonary nodules continuously grows, the intraoperative localization of small pulmonary nodules is in great demand. The intraoperative localization nowadays is usually done under local anesthesia before surgery. There is a certain rate of failure and complication. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Safety and Feasibility of a Novel Pulmonary Surgery Marker System in the Intraoperative Localization of Small Pulmonary Nodules

As the detection of small pulmonary nodules continuously grows, the intraoperative localization of small pulmonary nodules is in great demand. The intraoperative localization nowadays is usually done under local anesthesia before surgery. There is a certain rate of failure and complication. The result of our early animal experiments show that the pulmonary surgery marker system can deliver the intraoperative localization safely and precisely under anesthesia, and the average distance between the localization and the simulated lesion is less than 5mm during surgery. Therefore, the safety and feasibility of the system require further evaluation in patients

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single-center clinical trial initiated by the investigator. LungBrella marker can be accurately implanted into a predetermined position in the lung assisted by JediVision software and successfully marked the pulmonary nodules which needs to undergo Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The study is expected to enroll 10 patients. Finally, the effectiveness and safety of the method will be evaluated. This method not only can complete pulmonary nodule localization in the operating room without occupying the resources of radiology department, but also can let patients receive pulmonary nodule location after anesthesia. Thereby the risks during transportation are avoided and the suffering of patients is reduced.

What participants receive

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

  • LungBrella marker implantation and VATS partial lobe resectionDevice

    The enrolled patients will receive a plain chest CT scan,then the data be loaded into JediVision software. The JediVision software can navigate the location of nodule and facilitate the implantation of LungBrella marker in the operating room after general anesthesia,then the patients will receive VATS partial lobe resection .

What is being measured

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

  1. Positioning success rate

    When the distance between the LungBrella marker and the Pulmonary nodule is less than 10mm, the marker position is successful. The success rate is the proportion of successful cases to all operation cases

    Measured: Immediately after resection

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Procedure time

    Collect total procedure time for lung localization and surgical resection.

    Measured: Duration of procedure

  2. Complications

    Procedure-related complications will be recorded.

    Measured: One month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing LungBrella marker implantation and VATS partial lobe resection in people with Lung Neoplasms, run by Ruijin Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 31 Aug 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 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?

Positioning success rate (time frame: Immediately after resection). 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 NCT04211051, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 31 Aug 2021.
