About this study

Official title: Feasibility and Efficacy of Surgical Navigation 'RUS Lung' in Patients Undergoing Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery (MITS) Segmentectomy for Lung Cancer: a Multicenter Prospective Observational Study With a Propensity-score Matching Analysis

This sponsor-initiated prospective observational study aims to demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of RUS Lung Surgical Navigation System in patients undergoing minimally invasive thoracic surgery(MITS). The trial will enroll 36 patients who undergo video-assisted or robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery using RUS Lung. The study will be conducted across two medical centers."

  • Investigational Medical Device: RUS Lung (Endoscopic Imaging Treatment Planning Software)
  • Clinical Trial duration: 12 months from IRB approval
  • Target number of subjects: Total of 36 participants
Read the detailed description

Patients will be enrolled after being selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and after obtaining informed consent. Video-assisted or robot-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS/RATS) will be performed using RUS Lung.Parameters-associated with operation or clinical outcomes will be evaluated during hospitalization period or through outpatient follow-ups for up to 2 weeks after discharge. The operative outcomes including operative time, estimated blood loss, complication rates, and hospital length were compared with the historical control underwent VATS and RATS without using RUS Lung.

What participants receive

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

  • RUS LungDevice

    The RUS Lung is an endoscopic imaging treatment planning software program. It creates a patient-specific simulation of the thoracic surgical environments, allowing for the visualization of tumor, bronchovascular structures and thoracic organs during the surgical planning process and the operation. RUS Lung utilizes preoperative CT images of the patients to segment tumor, organs, blood vessels, and bronchus and reconstructs them into a 3D model. Although there is no direct intervention on the patient, the surgeon uses RUS Lung as a surgical navigation tool to simulate the surgery before performing the actual procedure.

What is being measured

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

  1. The concordance rate of tumor location across CT, RUS Lung, and surgery

    Overall feasibility of the RUS Lung system will be evaluated by 3 factors as below.

    1. CT turn-around time: the duration between uploading of preoperative CT and downloading the 3D model file
    2. The stability of the RUS Lung system
    3. The concordance rate of tumor location across CT, RUS Lung, and surgery

    Measured: The operative day (operative day ± 5 days)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The degree of consistency between surgical planning using the RUS lung system and actual surgical findings.

    1. The consistency of surgical planning (using CT and RUS, respectively) and operative findings
    2. Surgical outcomes (operative time, estimated blood loss, hospital length, and complication rates)
    3. User convenience

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RUS Lung in people with Lung Cancer, run by Hutom Corp at 1 site in South Korea.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Sep 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 South Korea. 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?

The concordance rate of tumor location across CT, RUS Lung, and surgery (time frame: The operative day (operative day ± 5 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 3 Sep 2025.
