Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main goal of the study is to assess technical feasibility and safety of LITT at our center and to assess practical feasibility of a future multicentre randomized controlled trial with the same design. Safety and technical feasibility will be assessed by an expert committee, consisting of head of department, independent expert and project leader. To assess safety, the following endpoints will be considered: - 30-days mortality - Complications Clavien Dindo >/= 3 The procedure will be deemed feasible when: - Time from inclusion to procedure | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints of the study are: - Overall and progression-free survival (OS, PFS) at 3 months after treatment and change in quality of life (QoL) before and 3 months after treatment will be recorded and used to implement power analysis of a future randomized trial. No comparative statistical analysis will be performed in this pilot study on OS, PFS and QoL given the small amount of patients included. - Tumour volume evolution on pre-operative, post-procedure and 3 months post-operative MRI. - Learning curve (measured as evolution of duration of the intervention, ablation percentage and complications). | — |
