Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of RFA through a transthoracic or transbronchial approach in the treatment of early-stage peripheral lung cancer.

Detailed Description

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

This study is designed as a prospective, randomized controlled trial with 110 participants, randomized in a 1:1 ratio to CT-guided RFA and bronchoscopy-guided RFA groups. The primary study endpoint is the complete ablation rate at 6 months post-ablation. Secondary study endpoints are technical success rate, complete ablation rate at 12 months post-ablation, local control rate at 1, 2, and 3 years post-ablation, progression free survival, overall survival, and safety. Demographic data, clinical baseline characteristics, CT follow-up data, and safety data will be collected and recorded.

Study Groups

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

Transbronchial group

Subjects receive bronchoscopy-guided RFA and undergo follow-up.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

The disposable pulmonary radiofrequency ablation catheter and pulmonary radiofrequency ablation system

Intervention Type DEVICE

Procedure: In combination with guided bronchoscopy and CBCT, the ablation catheter is placed in the target lesion. CBCT confirms the tool in the lesion, adjusts the position of the ablation catheter, and monitors the extent of ablation.

Transthoracic group

Subjects receive CT-guided RFA and undergo follow-up.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

The disposable percutaneous radiofrequency ablation needle and pulmonary radiofrequency ablation system

Intervention Type DEVICE

Procedure: The ablation needle is punctured into the lesion under CT guidance. The extent of the ablation is monitored by CT.
