About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Performance and Tolerance of the NOVATECH ® LUCIOLA TM EB Fiducial Marker During Radiotherapy Sessions in Patients Suffering From Lung Cancer: Multicenter, Post CE-mark Study

Following CE certification, this Post Market Clinical Follow-up investigates the performance and safety of using the new fiducial marker, NOVATECH® LUCIOLA™ EB, in the lung airways to monitor in real-time tumor location during radiotherapy.

At the time of insertion near the tumor, the Luciola's 3 fiducial marker arms are deployed simultaneously. Optimal detection of the fiducial marker is considered during the radiotherapy treatment.

Read the detailed description

NOVATECH® LUCIOLA™ EB fiducial marker will be implanted near the lung tumor by bronchial endoscopy by a pulmonologist. Following a dosimetry visit, participants will be proposed a maximum of 5 radiation therapy sessions. A follow-up visit at 3 months will take place after the last radiotherapy session. The participation period for each participant will be between 4.5 and 6 months. This study will evaluate the Luciola implant's performance and safety (visibility, migration, complications, tumoral response).

What is being measured

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

  1. LUCIOLA implant's performance during radiotherapy (RT) treatment: tracking rate

    Number of RT sessions during which the LUCIOLA implant was used for treatment in relation to the total number of RT sessions.

    If LUCIOLA can be detected and used for treatment, the patient will attend 3 to 5 RT sessions over a period lasting 1 to 2 weeks.

    Measured: Takes place 4-6 weeks after implantation

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Luciola implant "visibility"

    Average of the visibility rate (number of visible LUCIOLA implant arm(s) (0,1,2 or 3) compared to the total number of LUCIOLA implant arms (3)) for all the LUCIOLA implants for the entire radiotherapy treatment

    Measured: From the dosimetry visit (week 2-4 after implantation) to the last RT session (3-4 weeks after dosimetry)

  2. Global migration rate

    Number of LUCIOLA implants which have migrated between the beginning (dosimetry visit) and end of treatment follow-up (12 weeks after last radiotherapy session) in relation to the total number of LUCIOLA implants

    Measured: Dosimetry CT-Scan takes place 2-4 weeks after implantation; End of treatment CT-Scan takes place 12 weeks after last radiotherapy session

  3. Adverse events

    Occurrence rate of adverse or unexpected events which took place between implantation and up to 3 months following the RT treatment's end.

    Measured: 4.5 to 6 months (from implantation to the end of participant's enrollment in the study)

  4. Replanning radiotherapy treatment

    Replanning rate = Number of replanning versus total number of sessions for all of the participants.

    Measured: During radiotherapy sessions (4-6 weeks after implantation)

  5. Radiotherapist's satisfaction

    Number of participants for whom the radiotherapist is "satisfied" in relation to the total number of participants.

    Measured: End of study visit: 12 weeks after last radiotherapy session

  6. Pulmonologist's satisfaction

    Number of procedures at the end of which the pulmonologist is "satisfied" in relation to the total number of procedures

    The following questions will be considered:

    • Easy introduction of the LUCIOLA delivery system in the guide sheath
    • Easy placement (release) of the LUCIOLA device at the implantation site
    • Change of the position after LUCIOLA implant release

    Measured: Within 24 hours after implantation

  7. Tumoral response

    Tumoral response rate according to RECIST criteria between the inclusion CT-Scan and the radiotherapy end of treatment CT-Scan.

    Measured: Between the inclusion CT-Scan (8 weeks prior to implantation at the most) and the radiotherapy end of treatment CT-Scan (12 weeks after last RT session)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NOVATECH® LUCIOLA™ EB - (Fiducial Marker) in people with Lung Cancer, run by Hospital St. Joseph, Marseille, France at 5 sites 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 27 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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?

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

Contact Roomila NAECK (+33 7 86 90 44 08, luciola@hopital-saint-joseph.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

LUCIOLA implant's performance during radiotherapy (RT) treatment: tracking rate (time frame: Takes place 4-6 weeks after implantation). 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 27 Jan 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
