Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Either Cryoablation or Radiofrequency Ablation has been well accepted and widely used in clinical practice for solid tumor treatments with various commercial systems. Previous studies have established that locally exerting great thermal and mechanical stress through alternating freezing and heating abruptly broke the tumor cells and micro-vasculature in situ, enabling complete damage of primary tumor. Large amount of biological stimuli was released during this process to enhance body anti-tumor immunological response. This method thus may inhibit distal metastases and increase the survival rate. The investigators hypothesized that multi-mode thermal method (the combination of cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation) might trigger a whole body anti-tumor immune response for malignant tumor basing on multi-scale bio-thermal responses at molecular, cellular, tumor angiogenesis and tissue levels. The purpose of this study was to prospectively investigate the safety and feasibility of multi-mode precision ablation system for the treatment of liver malignant.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
