Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This research study is being conducted to assess the safety of PDT in subjects with peripherally located malignant tumors in lung parenchyma prior to surgical resection. It will involve up to 10 sites in USA. Participation will last 4 months.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Porfimer Sodium
  • Device: Fiber optic
Phase 1

Detailed Description

Lung cancer accounts for almost one-third of cancer deaths. Cancer screening strategies have the potential to achieve a 20% reduction in death rates. Newly developed bronchoscopic technologies (such as navigational bronchoscopy) have been shown to enable physicians to safely reach lesions in peripheral regions of the lung and obtain diagnosis. This new technology may now potentially offer bronchoscopic therapeutic interventions, such as photodynamic therapy, to tumors that were previously unreachable due to their peripheral anatomic location.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses a combination of a photosensitizing drug (a drug that is activated by light), called porfimer sodium (Photofrin®), and a light from a laser that emits no heat. This technique works to allow the medical doctor to specifically target and destroy abnormal or cancer cells while limiting damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The activation of the drug is done by lightning the abnormal area using a fiber optic device (very fine fiber [like a fishing line] that permits light transmission) inserted into a flexible tube with a light, called bronchoscope for the lung. The light activates the porfimer sodium concentrated in the abnormal tissue, leading to its destruction.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of using photodynamic therapy prior to surgical resection of tumors located in the periphery of the lung.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Photodynamic therapy-Photofrin

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the i.v. injection of porfimer sodium (Photofrin®) followed by illumination of the tumor using a fiber optic device during navigational bronchoscopy. Two days after the injection, the laser light will be applied to the tumor.

Drug: Porfimer Sodium
Porfimer sodium (Photofrin®) will be injected intravenously at a dose of 2 mg/kg.
Other Names:
  • Photofrin
  • Device: Fiber optic
    After injection of porfimer sodium (Photofrin®), a flexible bronchoscopy with navigation guidance will be performed to confirm the location and the size of the lesion with the use of radial probe endobronchial ultrasonography (REBUS). An optical fiber diffuser length matching the tumor length will be placed in the lesion or adjacent to the lesion under fluoroscopy guidance. After the placement of the optical fiber, the laser light will be applied at a dose of 200 J/cm of diffuser length.

    Arm/Group Description Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the i.v. injection of porfimer sodium (Photofrin®) followed by illumination of the tumor using a fiber optic device during navigational bronchoscopy. Two days after the injection, the laser light will be applied to the tumor. Porfimer Sodium: Porfimer sodium (Photofrin®) will be injected intravenously at a dose of 2 mg/kg. Fiber optic: After injection of porfimer sodium (Photofrin®), a flexible bronchoscopy with navigation guidance will be performed to confirm the location and the size of the lesion with the use of radial probe endobronchial ultrasonography (REBUS). An optical fiber diffuser length matching the tumor length will be placed in the lesion or adjacent to the lesion under fluoroscopy guidance. After the placement of the optical fiber, the laser light will be applied at a dose of 200 J/cm of diffuser length.

    Arm/Group Description Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the i.v. injection of porfimer sodium (Photofrin®) followed by illumination of the tumor using a fiber optic device during navigational bronchoscopy. Two days after the injection, the laser light will be applied to the tumor. Porfimer Sodium: Porfimer sodium (Photofrin®) will be injected intravenously at a dose of 2 mg/kg. Fiber optic: After injection of porfimer sodium (Photofrin®), a flexible bronchoscopy with navigation guidance will be performed to confirm the location and the size of the lesion with the use of radial probe endobronchial ultrasonography (REBUS). An optical fiber diffuser length matching the tumor length will be placed in the lesion or adjacent to the lesion under fluoroscopy guidance. After the placement of the optical fiber, the laser light will be applied at a dose of 200 J/cm of diffuser length.

    Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Photodynamic Therapy-Photofrin
    Comments All adverse event terms are coded using MedDRA Dictionary version 21.1. NCS (Non-Clinical Significant) events were not included in the summary because their CTCAE grade and relationship were not collected. Subjects are counted once within each system organ class and each preferred term. An AE is defined as treatment related if its relationship to the study drug is recorded as "reasonable possibility" on the CRF (Case Report Form).
