Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cryoablation therapy used to treat tumors in participants with pulmonary metastatic disease. This study is to enroll participants who will undergo cryoablation of at least 1 metastatic pulmonary tumor that is less than or equal to 3.5 centimeter (cm). Participants will be followed 24 months post their cryoablation procedure.

Detailed description

Treatment for pulmonary metastatic disease may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of treatments. However, several variables may exclude participants from these treatments such as multiple tumors, multiple previous surgeries, pulmonary dysfunction, or co-morbid medical conditions. For these participants, percutaneous cryoablation may be a suitable option. Ablation of metastatic lung tumors is a rapidly expanding area within interventional oncology. Cryotherapy, radiofrequency, laser, and microwave have all been shown to be effective. Cryotherapy offers a wide range of anatomic and tumor treatment options because of the ability to visualize the ice under imaging guidance and the preservation of collagenous tissue structure. Cryoablation has been extensively performed in the prostate and kidney with favorable outcomes reported in the literature. More recently, cryoablation has been shown to be safe in the treatment of lung tumors with CT guidance.

Local Tumor Control for Each Index Tumor as Measured by Imaging at Month 12Month 1 (Month 3 if Month 1 Data was missing) and Month 12Local tumor control defined as the absence of local treatment failure 12 months following study cryoablation based on site-reported data. Local control was achieved if the 3-axis measurement (that is, the greatest trans-axial diameter plus the 2 perpendicular diameters) of a tumor at Month 12 was less than 20% larger than the 3-axis measurement of the tumor at Month 1 following study cryoablation. A separate evaluation of local tumor control at Month 12 following cryoablation was completed per index tumor. Month 1 data served as the baseline for this analysis; if Month 1 data was missing, Month 3 data were used. Tumors with a local failure at the prior study visit and those with repeat cryoablation procedures prior to Month 12 were counted as failures. Imaging for assessment of tumor measurements was performed using CT or 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-CT with or without contrast.

The SF-12 assesses 8 domains (physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health problems, bodily pain, social functioning, general mental health, role limitations due to emotional problems, vitality, general health perception). The shorter instrument provides a general measurement of quality of life. Assessments were made by examining the change in the baseline scores to those reported post-operatively.

Cryoablation
Participants underwent a cryoablation procedure with the Galil Medical Cryoablation System according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Participant preparation, anesthesia, intra-operative monitoring, and postoperative management for the study cryoablation procedure were identical to those for standard cryoablation treatment routinely performed at the clinical centers that participated in this study and were at the discretion of the Investigators. Tumors in both lungs were to be treated at an appropriate interval, determined on an individual basis. Treatment of bilateral index tumors in a single treatment session was not performed. All participants received cryoablation of up to 6 metastatic lung tumors. Treatment of all study index tumors was completed within an 8-week window.

Local Tumor Control for Each Index Tumor as Measured by Imaging at Month 12

Local tumor control defined as the absence of local treatment failure 12 months following study cryoablation based on site-reported data. Local control was achieved if the 3-axis measurement (that is, the greatest trans-axial diameter plus the 2 perpendicular diameters) of a tumor at Month 12 was less than 20% larger than the 3-axis measurement of the tumor at Month 1 following study cryoablation. A separate evaluation of local tumor control at Month 12 following cryoablation was completed per index tumor. Month 1 data served as the baseline for this analysis; if Month 1 data was missing, Month 3 data were used. Tumors with a local failure at the prior study visit and those with repeat cryoablation procedures prior to Month 12 were counted as failures. Imaging for assessment of tumor measurements was performed using CT or 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-CT with or without contrast.

Time to untreatable metastatic lung disease control with focal therapy defined as the time in days from the first cryoablation procedure to the time when the metastatic lung disease cannot be treated by focal (for example, ablation, surgery, SBRT) intervention for control of metastatic lung disease. The percentage of participants free from metastatic disease that is untreatable with focal therapy at the intervals of time of Days 181 to 365 and Days 495 to 730 is presented.

Time frame: Month 12 (Days 181-365) and Month 24 (Days 495-730)

Population: Participants for whom cryoablation via Galil Medical Cryoablation System was attempted or performed and met all study entry criteria (mITT population) with available data at the respective time point.
