Brief summary
Post market prospective, non-randomized, single-arm, multicenter study, designed to demonstrate dose response of an ablation system using a percutaneous approach in patients with primary, metastatic, or recurrent primary lung tumors.
Detailed description
Primary Endpoint: Dose response as indicated by CT imaging, measurement of maximum diameter and volume. Secondary Endpoint: Assessment of complete tumor ablation immediately post-procedure.
Interventions
Percutaneous antenna will be placed into the target tumor under CT image guidance. Target tumor will be ablated and the antenna will be removed.
The planned surgical resection of the lung tumor will be conducted as scheduled post ablation procedure.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Subject or authorized representative has provided informed consent. * Subject is ≥18 years of age. * At least one pulmonary metastasis ≤ 3.0 cm in maximum diameter resulting from distant primary cancers or at least one recurrence of primary lung cancer ≤ 3.0 cm in maximum diameter. * Subject has been confirmed by a thoracic surgeon to be a surgical candidate for resection of the tumor targeted for ablation. * Subject is willing and able to comply with all aspects of the treatment and evaluation schedule. * ≥1 cm of tumor-free lung parenchyma between target tumor and pleura or fissure.
Exclusion criteria
* Pre-procedure
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Dose Response | 1 Day | Dose response was assessed by comparing actual ablation zone size and volume to predicted ablation zone size and volume prescribed by the physician using the Emprint™ Procedure Planning Application. Dose response was measured for each ablation zone using CT imaging immediately post ablation and prior to the surgical resection. |
| Ablation Zone Shape | Same day | Ablation width (X) / height (Y), ratio of 1 indicates spherical ablation zone shape |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Participants With Complete or Incomplete Tumor Ablation | Same Day | The secondary endpoint was complete tumor ablation immediately post-procedure for each target tumor using histologic analysis. Complete ablation was defined as 100% nonviable tumor cells. |

|---|---|
| Ablation and Surgical Resection All subjects meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria were enrolled into the study to receive microwave ablation from the Emprint™ Ablation System using a percutaneous approach in patients with metastatic or primary lung tumors.
Percutaneous antenna will be placed into the target tumor under CT image guidance. Target tumor will be ablated and the antenna will be removed.
Once the ablation procedure was completed, the scheduled surgical tumor resection was performed. Adverse event data were collected starting from the initial administration of anesthesia until conclusion of the first post-operative follow-up visit. | 15 |

Time frame: Same day
Population: Primary endpoint results were available for 11 subjects. Four out of 15 (26.6%) imaging sets were either not obtained or unable to be evaluated.

Number of Participants With Complete or Incomplete Tumor Ablation
The secondary endpoint was complete tumor ablation immediately post-procedure for each target tumor using histologic analysis. Complete ablation was defined as 100% nonviable tumor cells.
Time frame: Same Day
Population: Secondary endpoint results were available for 11 subjects. For the secondary results, there were no tumors in four out of 15 samples (26.6%). Therefore, assessment of tumor cannot be made.
