About this study

Official title: Confirmation of Accuracy of the Tool-in-lesion Technology (TiLT) of the Galaxy System With Integrated TOMO Technology in Human Subjects to Bronchoscopically Biopsy Small Peripheral Pulmonary Nodules: TiLT Study

This study will evaluate the feasibility of performing robotic navigation of peripheral airways in human subjects for the purpose of biopsying peripheral lung lesions.

Read the detailed description

Successful biopsy of peripheral pulmonary lesions continues to be a challenge due to a number of factors, one of which may be the ability to gain access to peripheral lesions due to the size and maneuverability of conventional bronchoscopes. In this study, investigators will evaluate the feasibility of the Galaxy System, which uses a built-in real-time navigation system called TiLT Technology, to both access and biopsy peripheral pulmonary lesions.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Robotic assisted bronchoscopyExperimentalRobotic assisted bronchoscopy procedures performed using the Galaxy System.
Receives: Device: Robotic assisted bronchoscopy

What is being measured

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

  1. Successful tool-in-lesion (defined as the tool within the lesion) as confirmed by CBCT.

    Successful navigation of the tool in lesion using the Galaxy System's TiLT technology will be confirmed using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) prior to biopsies being performed.

    Measured: During the procedure

  2. Serious device or procedure related adverse events and device deficiencies during the bronchoscopy procedure and post-procedure

    Number of patients with device or procedure related adverse events divided by number of patients who underwent the robotic bronchoscopy procedure.

    Measured: Up to 7 days post-procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Diagnostic yield

    Number of patients who are provided a definitive diagnosis based on the pathology report of the biopsied tissue.

    Measured: Between 7 days and 6 months post-procedure

  2. Center strike as confirmed by CBCT

    Number of patients that the tool was confirmed to be in the center of the lesion prior to biopsy.

    Measured: During the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Robotic assisted bronchoscopy in people with Lung Cancer and Nodes, Lung, run by Noah Medical at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 9 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 25 Apr 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 Hong Kong. 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?

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?

Successful tool-in-lesion (defined as the tool within the lesion) as confirmed by CBCT. (time frame: During the procedure). 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 25 Apr 2025.
