About this study

Official title: Safety and Clinical Efficacy Evaluation of Pulsed Electric Field Therapy in Patients With Late-stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

The goal of this clinical trial is to verify the safety and clinical benefit of pulsed electric field(PEF) treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients with acquired resistance to anti programmed cell death protein 1(PD-1) monoclonal antibody therapy.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Safety of PEF treatment of metastatic NSCLC patients.
  • Control of ablated and other targeted lesions.
  • Local and peripheral immunoregulation effect. PEF energy will be delivered to preselected lesions of participants, then anti PD-1 will be routinely administrated if no adverse event(AE)/serious adverse event(SAE) which need medical intervention occurs.
Read the detailed description

Eligible patients will will be enrolled to experimental arm and receive standard of care combining with PEF treatment on Day 1, followed by anti PD-1 on Day 7 and then routinely.

All kinds of adverse events will be recorded and analyzed to evaluate the safety of the treatment. At the same time, the local control rate of treated lesions, PFS and OS after PEF will be analyzed to evaluate the clinical value of the treatment.

Receives: Device: PEF; Drug: Anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody

What is being measured

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

  1. Technical success rate of PEF treatment

    The percentage of the number that the equipment successfully reached the target lesion and completed PEF energy delivery.

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Incidence of PEF treatment related AE/SAEs

    The incidence and severity of PEF treatment related adverse events according to CTCAE version 4.0

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Local control of ablated lesions by CT

    Compared with the baseline CT scan before treatment, the maximum diameter of the ablated lesion decreased, remained unchanged or increased by less than 20%.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Local control of ablated lesions by CT

    Compared with the baseline CT scan before treatment, the maximum diameter of the ablated lesion decreased, remained unchanged or increased by less than 20%.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Progression free survival rate at 6 months

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Overall survival rate at 6 months

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Overall survival rate at 12 months

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PEF and Anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody in people with NSCLC, run by Energenx Medical LTD. 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 8 inclusion and 15 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 22 Jul 2024. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Sara Xu (+86 021 52230973, info@energenxmedical.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Technical success rate of PEF treatment (time frame: 7 days). 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 22 Jul 2024.
