Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of the prospective, multi-center study is to evaluate the ease of use and effectiveness of the SPiN Drive Electromagnetic (EM) Tip Tracked Steerable Devices as a method of sampling subsegmental, less than 3.0 cm, lung lesions through the airway, and beyond the bronchus. Measures of diagnostic yield will be compared to the diagnostic yield of similar published historical controls using conventional bronchoscopy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Always On EM Tip Tracked Steerable catheters and biopsy devices used with the Veran Medical Technologies system are Food and Durg Administration 510K approved for use in diagnostic pulmonary procedures to locate and sample subsegmental peripheral, less than 3.0 centimeter lung lesions or solitary pulmonary nodules(SPN).

Up to 20 subjects with radiographically confirmed peripheral lung lesions will be asked to participate in the study and proceed with informed consent. An interim analysis of the data will be conducted to determine the need to include an additional 10 patients to achieve statistically significant results at the ninety five percent confidence interval.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients recommended for a lung biopsy.

Patients with a positive diagnosis of a peripheral, less than 3.0 centimeter lung lesion, recommended for bronchoscopic biopsy are eligible to be consented into the study.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Lung biopsy using Always On EM Tip Tracked Device

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Patients screened by CT to have a subsegmental, less than 3.0 centimeter lung lesion will be assigned to outpatient bronchoscopy. The patient will have a chest CT with the Always on Patient vPad. Access to the lesion will be achieved using Electromagnetic Tip Tracked devices. Once accessed the operator will use the Electromagnetic Tip Tracked devices or standard devices to obtain a biopsy sample to then be to pathology for diagnosis and reporting. Once completed the patient will be moved to recovery and discharged. If the biopsy is negative the patient will be advised by the pulmonologist about other interventions, watchful waiting, or no further treatment. If the biopsy is positive, the patient will be referred to their physician for further treatment.
