About this study

The goal of the study is to identify the maximum tolerated dose of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial injection (EBUS-TBNI) of cisplatin for Stage IV lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

Multiple studies have demonstrated feasibility and safety of delivering cisplatin directly into lung tumors using endobronchial ultrasound guided-transbronchial needle injection (EBUS-TBNI). This technique relies on the use of a bronchoscope with an integrated ultrasound transducer allowing real-time visualization of, and delivery of cisplatin into, tumors lying in proximity to the central airways. Prior work has utilized this technique to treat loco regional recurrence in a previously radiated field. The goal of the current study is to identify the initial dose for intratumoral cisplatin. Phase 1A is a dose ranging study. Phase 1B is designed to evaluate the safety of delivery of the drug into different tumor regions .

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Initial Treatment- Low Perfusion RegionExperimentalPhase 1B uses a within group comparison. All participants will undergo 1 delivery of intratumoral cisplatin into either a low or high perfusion region, then the subsequent week undergo delivery into the other region, for a total of 3 treatments.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing cisplatin in people with Lung Cancer Metastatic, run by University of Vermont at 1 site in United States.

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 13 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Oct 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Dose limiting toxicity (time frame: 14 days). 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 31 Oct 2025.
