Brief Summary

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

Prospective, single-arm, multicenter study that will generate clinical data using the NEUWAVE MicroWave Ablation System with AC (Ablation Confirmation) software in patients undergoing ablation of a soft tissue liver lesion.

Detailed Description

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

Prospective, single-arm, multicenter study that will generate clinical data on 100 adult patients using the NEUWAVE MicroWave Ablation System with AC (Ablation Confirmation) software in patients undergoing ablation of a soft tissue liver lesion. AC software is a computed tomography (CT) image processing software package available as an optional feature for use with the NEUWAVE Microwave Ablation System. AC imports images from CT scanners for display and processing during ablation procedures to assist physicians in identifying ablation targets, assessing optimal ablation probe placement, and confirming the adequacy of the ablation margin.

All ablations will be performed percutaneously by an interventional radiologist while the patient is under general anesthesia or deep conscious sedation.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. A patient with at least one soft-tissue liver lesion less than or equal to 5cm undergoing microwave ablation using the NEUWAVE Microwave Ablation System. Note: a patient cannot have more than 3 lesions ablated during the procedure.
2. Intent to use Ablation Confirmation software (any AC software version permitted) during the ablation procedure.
3. Written Informed Consent to voluntarily participate in the study, follow CT scan schedule, and authorize the transfer of his/her data to the Sponsor
4. Patients greater than or equal to 22 years of age
5. Performance status 0-2 (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group \[ECOG\]) classification
6. Class A or B functional hepatic reserve based on the Child-Pugh score.
7. Lesion must be visualized by non-contrast enhanced CT scan or the patient must tolerate contrast and meet institutional guidelines for contrast use based on glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Exclusion Criteria

1. Active bacterial infection or fungal infection on the day of the ablation.
2. Patients with implantable pacemakers or other electronic implants.
3. Platelet count less than 50,000/mm cubed.
4. Patients with uncorrectable coagulopathy at the time of ablation.
5. Currently breastfeeding or pregnant (latter confirmed by serum pregnancy test, per site's SOC).
6. Physical or psychological condition which would impair study participation.
7. ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) score of great or equal to 4.
8. Use of hydrodissection.
9. Systemic chemotherapy or radiation therapy for the liver, within 30 days prior to the study ablation procedure.
10. INR greater than 1.8.
11. Patient has participated in an investigational clinical study within 30 days of the screening visit for this study.
12. Patient judged unsuitable for study participation by the performing physician for any other reason.
