Overview

Following CE certification, this Post Market Clinical Follow-up investigates the performance and safety of using the new fiducial marker, NOVATECH® LUCIOLA™ EB, in the lung airways to monitor in real-time tumor location during radiotherapy.

At the time of insertion near the tumor, the Luciola's 3 fiducial marker arms are deployed simultaneously. Optimal detection of the fiducial marker is considered during the radiotherapy treatment.

Description

NOVATECH® LUCIOLA™ EB fiducial marker will be implanted near the lung tumor by bronchial endoscopy by a pulmonologist. Following a dosimetry visit, participants will be proposed a maximum of 5 radiation therapy sessions. A follow-up visit at 3 months will take place after the last radiotherapy session. The participation period for each participant will be between 4.5 and 6 months. This study will evaluate the Luciola implant's performance and safety (visibility, migration, complications, tumoral response).

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants ≥ 18 years of age
  • Participants with primary, secondary or metastatic lung cancer with an indication for radiotherapy and placement of a fiducial marker
  • Participants who will be able to tolerate the flexible bronchoscopic implantation procedure and radiotherapy treatment.
  • Participants who give their written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants with uncontrolled infection / participants with active infections.
  • Participants with a bronchoscopy contra-indication
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding women
  • Participants with known allergy to one of the components (tantalum and nickel titanium alloy for the marker and polymer materials which are contained in the delivery device)

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
