Evaluation of the Archimedes ™ System for Transparenchymatous Access to Pulmonary Nodules. (SATAN)

September 7, 2021 updated by: University Hospital, Limoges
The aim of this study protocol is to evaluate the feasibility of biopsies using the new system called Archimedes® in 12 patients with solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN) suspicious of malignancy not accessible through current bronchoscopy techniques.

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

Due to the improvement of screening techniques, the detection of peripheral and isolated lesions is an increasingly frequent situation. However these SPN cause difficulties in obtaining a sample. Indeed, current endoscopic techniques remain insufficient in terms of performance. Moreover, computed tomography-guided percutaneous needle biopsy despite a very good sensitivity has many limitations related to the size of the lesions, the accessibility and important complications. The Archimedes® system is an improved version of LungPoint® and combines 3D reconstruction of chest images with intraoperative radioscopy. It uses a catheter to access through the bronchial wall the pulmonary parenchyma and navigate to the SPN. All included patients will receive anesthesia consultation, biological assessment and chest CT scan in thin sections. A surgical treatment will always be planned after presentation of the file in a meeting of multidisciplinary consultation of thoracic oncology. The Archimedes® procedure will be performed during a bronchoscopy under general anesthesia. Immediate monitoring consisted in a chest x-ray 1hour after the procedure. Patients' participation in the study will stop once they benefit from their thoracic surgery

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 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients aged 18 to 75 years with a suspicious nodule of malignancy (primary lung tumor or metastasis of another solid tumor whose largest diameter is greater than or equal to 8 mm):
  • Not associated with endobronchial tumor visible during inspection of tracheobronchial tree with soft bronchoscope
  • Located in any part of the lung more than 10mm from the pleura
  • For which surgical management (atypical resection, lobectomy, bilobectomy or pneumonectomy) is planned after presentation of the file at a multidisciplinary consultation meeting on thoracic oncology of the Investigating Hospital Center
  • Patient able to understand the course of the study and giving informed consent
  • Affiliate or beneficiary of a social security scheme

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Threatening cardiac arrhythmias defined by a rhythm disorder dating discovered less than a month ago
  • Myocardial infarction less than one month old
  • Hypercapnic respiratory decompensation less than one month old
  • coagulopathy
  • Thrombocytopenia with platelet count <100,000 / mm3
  • Antecedent (ATCD) of significant bleeding during previous bronchoscopy
  • ATCD of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or suspicion of PAH defined by a measurement of systolic pulmonary arterial pressure greater than 50 mmHg on echocardiography (this examination is not systematic but the suspicion of PAH on the thoracic CT scan leads to other cardiac echocardiographic examinations or right heart catheterization in case of inconclusive ultrasound)
  • ATCD of pneumonectomy
  • Giant bubble> 5cm located near the nodule or the tunneling path
  • Inability to stop anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy before the procedure (taking acetylsalicylic acid at any dose is allowed)
  • Pregnant or lactating woman
  • ATCD for thoracic radiotherapy on the nodule side
  • Patient under tutorship or curatorship

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Archimedes procedure
All included patients will receive anesthesia consultation, biological assessment and chest CT scan in thin sections. A surgical treatment will always be planned after presentation of the file in a meeting of multidisciplinary consultation of thoracic oncology. The Archimedes® procedure will be performed during a bronchoscopy under general anesthesia. Immediate monitoring consisted in a chest x-ray 1hour after the procedure.
Device: Archimedes procedure
All patients will initially have a scanner necessary for planning by the Archimedes system of the tunneling path. each patient will then undergo a general anesthesia as for any bronchoscopy. Then start the Archimedes procedure itself to reach the SPN

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of diagnostics obtained with the Archimedes system
Time Frame: Month 1
It will be the biopsy yield defined as the number of patients in whom the results of nodule biopsies performed with the Archimedes® system are consistent with the surgical specimen.
Month 1

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
