NCT ID NCT07291973
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new device called the FlexAblate Microwave Ablation System that uses heat from microwaves to destroy small lung cancer nodules. It is for people who cannot have surgery or choose not to. The trial will check if the device safely and completely treats the tumor, with follow-up scans and tests over one year.
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 (FlexAblate Microwave Transbronchial Ablation System)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a less invasive treatment option for people with small lung cancer nodules who cannot have surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 43 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure carries risks like bleeding or infection, and it may not fully destroy the tumor.
