New device zaps lung tumors through a scope before surgery

NCT ID NCT06689488

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new device that uses microwave energy to destroy lung tumors during a bronchoscopy, before the patient has surgery to remove the tumor. The goal is to see if the device is safe and works well in 30 people with confirmed lung cancer who are already scheduled for surgery. The researchers will check for serious side effects and measure how well the device destroys the targeted tissue.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Microwave ablation device (MicroBlate™ Flex AB1)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to a less invasive way to destroy lung tumors using a bronchoscope, potentially reducing the need for more extensive surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure involves risks like bleeding or damage to nearby tissue, and the device may not work as expected.
