Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Prospective patients must have a histopathological-confirmed malignant lung lesion and be candidates for surgical resection. After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving their written informed consent will undergo a screening visit to determine eligibility for study entry.
The study consists of two (2) stages (Stage A and Stage B). Stage A consists of the ablation and surgical resection being performed concurrently on Day 0 within a single procedure. Stage B consists of the ablation and the surgical resection being performed in separate procedures. The surgical resection will occur between Day 7 and Day 21, post-ablation, inclusive of those days. The aim is to follow local guidelines for treatment of lung cancer.
Patients undergoing Stage A will be released from the study at point of standard of care discharge from hospital post-surgery and will not be followed as part of the study (patients will receive SoC follow-up and care post release from study).
Patients undergoing Stage B will have evaluations at follow-up visits conducted at 7 (+/-3) days (via phone call) post ablation and prior to the surgical resection procedure. Stage B patients will be released from the study at point of standard of care discharge from hospital post-surgery and will not be followed as part of the study (patients will receive SoC follow-up and care post release from study).
