About this trial

This study is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, pilot trial of Bronchoscopic Thermal Vapor Ablation for Lung Cancer (BTVA-C) in patients with primary lung cancer or metastatic cancer in the lung. Patients who have consented to participate in this study (enrolled) will be subject to eligibility screening and baseline assessments, prior to undergoing the BTVA-C procedure. Only patients that meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will receive vapor ablation treatment.

Patients will be followed for up to 12 months.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age: ≥ 18 years old

Patient has been recommended for ablation or recommended for an alternative to surgery

Non-small cell lung cancer tumor(s) ≤ 2cm (T1aN0, T1bN0) OR Metastatic lung tumor(s) ≤ 2cm

Microscopic proof of malignancy obtained

Disqualifiers

Centralized tumor (abutting main stem bronchus, main pulmonary artery branches, esophagus, or trachea)

Carcinoid lung tumors

Tumor is associated with atelectasis or obstructive pneumonitis or pleural effusion

Pulmonary function tests (PFTs): post-bronchodilator forced expired volume in one second (FEV1) <20% predicted, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO)<20% predicted
