Brief Summary

Evaluation of safety and technical feasibility of the phenoWave MW Ablation System for microwave ablation of lesions in the lung.

Detailed Description

This study is a prospective, single-arm, single-center, study to evaluate the safety and technical feasibility of using the phenoWave MW Ablation System to deliver microwave energy for ablation of les...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age 45-77 years at screening.
  • Confirmed NSCLC or solitary metastatic (oligometastatic) or pulmonary metastases from an extra thoracic primary tumor lung nodule through diagnostic biopsy
  • Must be eligible for curative lung resection (lobectomy).
  • For primary tumor, pre-ablated parenchymal tumor/lesion size ≥ 20 mm if NSCLC, or ≥ 10 mm for metastatic disease in diameter as measured from pre-operative CT image.
  • Willing to participate in all aspects of study protocol for duration of study.
  • Able to understand study requirements.
  • Signs informed consent form.
  • Boundary of tumor is at least 15 mm away from the pleura wall and/or fissure.

Exclusion

  • Any contraindication to bronchoscopy, for example:
  • Untreatable life-threatening arrhythmias.
  • Inability to adequately oxygenate the patient during the procedure.
  • Acute respiratory failure with hypercapnia (unless the patient is intubated and ventilated).
  • Recent myocardial infarction.
  • Uncorrectable coagulopathy.
  • Known coagulopathy.
  • Platelet dysfunction or platelet count \< 100 x 109 cells/L OR taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents that cannot be safely ceased in the opinion of the pulmonologist or surgeon.
  • History of major bleeding with bronchoscopy.
  • Suspected pulmonary hypertension.
  • Moderate-to-severe pulmonary fibrosis.
  • Severe emphysema (GOLD III/IV) or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) within 3cm of tumor/lesion boundary: prior COPD assessment data is evaluated and PI consent is required.
  • Bullae \>5 centimeter (cm) located in vicinity of target tumor/lesion.
  • Any other severe or life-threatening comorbidity that could increase the risk of bronchoscopic MWA, for example:
  • American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification \>P3
  • Stage 3 heart failure
  • Severe cachexia
  • Severe respiratory insufficiency or hypoxia
  • Ongoing systemic infection.
  • Contraindication to general anesthesia.
  • Inability to stop anticoagulants (e.g., heparin, Warfarin) or antiplatelet agents (e.g. aspirin, clopidogrel) prior to procedure.
  • Participation in any other study in last 30 days.
  • Breastfeeding women or females of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test prior to the procedure or the intent to become pregnant during the study.
  • Life expectancy of less than 6 months.
  • Prior radiation therapy treatment in the target lobe.
  • Implantable pacemaker or defibrillator.
