What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tested a new microwave device used through a thin tube to destroy tumors blocking the main airways in people with lung cancer. Only 3 patients were enrolled before the study was stopped. The goal was to see if the device could safely and effectively open the airway.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients age between 18 and 80 years of age and able to provide informed consent. * Candidate for bronchoscopy under general anesthesia. * Diagnosis of central airway obstruction (trachea, right main stem bronchus, left main stem bronchus), as evidenced by CT or CT/PET imaging confirmed or suspected to be due to malignant etiology, for which the bronchoscopist has deemed that endoscopic ablation/debridement is indicated (i.e. endobronchial tumors, mixed endobronchial/extrinsic compression lesions). Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who are unable to understand the informed consent, including potential risks and benefits of the procedure. * Patients in whom bronchoscopy under general anesthesia is contraindicated. * Any comorbidity that the investigator feels would interfere with the safety of the subject or the evaluation of study objectives * Pacemaker, implantable cardioverter, or another electronic implantable device * Patients with coagulopathy * Patients in other therapeutic lung cancer studies * COVID-19 positive patient at the time of the procedure. * Patients who are pregnant * Patients with purely extrinsic compression of the airway.
