Brief summary

Interventional clinical study to obtain performance and safety data of the EPIONE® device when used for percutaneous procedures in the lung.

Detailed description

The objectives are: * to evaluate the technical success of the device * to evaluate performance parameters (accuracy measures, adjustements, post-intervention ablation success, local tumor recurrence) * to evaluate the safety of the device 25 subjectsare planned and will undergo an intervention, during which the clinician will use the EPIONE device

Interventions

DEVICEEPIONE device

The EPIONE device is a user controlled, stereotactic accessory intended to assist in the planning and manual advancement of one or more instruments, as well as in verification of instrument position during Computed Tomography (CT) guided percutaneous procedures.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Needle Adjustmentsan average of 7 monthsDetail of the number/nature of adjustments performed after the initial insertion of the needle.
Post-intervention Ablation Successan average of 1 yearIf the ablation zone is at least the lesion size + 5mm, the ablation is considered successfull. The measure counted is the number of success
Needle Placement Accuracyan average of 7 monthsaccuracy of the needle placement: deviation between the planned and actual needle position once inserted.
Adverse Eventthrough study completion, an average of 21 monthsnumber of patients experiencing a serious adverse event
Grade of Needle Adjustmentan average of 7 monthsDescription of the grade of needle adjustement : minor meaning depth needle adjustment only, medium meaning at lateral needle adjustement (+ or - depth adjustement) or major (meaning complete removal of the needle from the atient body)
Long-term Efficacy of Ablationthrough study completion, an average of 1 yearIf a tumor progresses locally 12 months after the initial treatment, the long-term efficacy of the ablation is considered failed. We count here the patient treated for which the lesion ablated did not show recurrence after 12 months.

Long-term Efficacy of Ablation

If a tumor progresses locally 12 months after the initial treatment, the long-term efficacy of the ablation is considered failed. We count here the patient treated for which the lesion ablated did not show recurrence after 12 months.

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Population: all patients whose procedure was feasible and were still in the study after 12 months
