NCT ID NCT07291973

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

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.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult ≥ 18 years of age who has provided signed informed consent. * Subject is able and willing to comply with the planned clinical investigation follow-up schedule * Pathological confirmed malignant nodule in the lung either primary or metastatic disease. * Target nodule is ≤ 20mm in maximum diameter. * There is ≥ 5mm of nodule-free lung parenchyma between target nodule and pleura or fissure. * Subject is a candidate for an elective lung ablation procedure as determined by institutional multi-disciplinary board or equivalent. * Subject or the lesion is not suitable for surgery or patient refuses surgery. Exclusion Criteria: * Target nodule is abutting main or lobar stem bronchus, main pulmonary vasculature (vessel 5mm), heart, oesophagus and/or trachea. * Subjects who are extremely breathless or on home oxygen therapy. * Female subjects who are pregnant or nursing. * Subjects with uncorrectable coagulopathy or thrombocytopenia at time of screening. * Subjects with prior pneumonectomy. * Subjects who have had any radiation (i.e., SBRT or EBRT) to the intended ablation zone or lung ablation, surgical resection therapy, radiotherapy, or any other treating procedure within 30 days prior to the planned ablation procedure or those who plan to receive a lung ablation, surgical resection, or radiation therapy on the ablated lung side before completing the primary endpoint assessment (30 days post-ablation). * Subjects who have implantable electronic devices, including pacemakers or other electronic implants. * Known pulmonary hypertension (Pulmonary artery systolic pressure, PASP \>50mmHg). * Active active pulmonary infection at time of screening or the procedure. * Subjects medically unable to stop anticoagulant or anti-platelet therapy for relevant time period prior to and following the ablation procedure. * Participation in an investigational drug or device clinical investigation within 30 days of enrolment that would interfere with this clinical investigation. * The investigator determines that participation in this clinical investigation may jeopardise the safety or welfare of the subject.
