Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ENB guided MWA combined with VATS versus sequential surgery for synchronous bilateral multiple primary lung nodules. Participants will be divided into two group.One group will accepte treatment of ENB guided MWA combined with VATS,another will accepted sequential surgery.

Detailed Description

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. With the improvement of people's health awareness and the wide application of LDCT and HRCT, the incidence of multiple primary lung cancer is increasing, especially the synchronous bilateral multiple primary pulmonary nodules are the difficulties in the treatment of pulmonary nodules. Bilateral sequential surgery is associated with higher intraoperative risks, higher rates of postoperative complications, and lower postoperative quality of life. At present, a small number of recent retrospective studies have shown that microwave ablation(MWA) guided by electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy(ENB) combined with video-assisted thoracic surgery(VATS) treatment can effectively treat bilateral multiple primary pulmonary nodules, which not only has a low complication rate, but also can avoid secondary surgery.

Based on previous studies, the research plans to conduct a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ENB guided MWA combined with VATS versus sequential surgery for synchronous bilateral multiple primary lung nodules, as well as its potential value as a new treatment option for these participants.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Ablation

After randomization, the enrolled patients in this arm should be performed path simulation under ENB with preoperative CT. On the operation day, single-cavity intubation will be carried out first, and the secondary lesion will be reached through the planned path. After that,the biopsy tissue of the lesion will be sent to ROSE for detection. If malignant,the ablation will be performed,and the location, energy and ablation time will be adjusted according to intraoperative CT. After ablation, radical surgery will be performed on the primary lesion.

Procedure: ENB guided MWA combined with VATS
ENB guide MWA combine ENB, microwave ablation and 3D reconstruction technology, and guide the probe in the airway to the target lesion for ablation therapy, which is safe and effective. For patients with synchronous bilateral multiple primary pulmonary nodules, ENB guide MWA combined with VATS treatment can not only avoid the risk of bilateral surgery, but also complete the "one-stop" treatment, which is a new treatment mode.

Active Comparator: Surgery

The control group will undergo VATS treatment on the primary lesion on the day of operation, and will be re-admitted to the hospital after discharge and recovery (3-4 months) for contralateral secondary lesion surgery.

Procedure: sequential surgery
Bilateral surgery is a traditional treatment, but it will lead to increased intraoperative risk and postoperative complication rate, and more likely to lead to postoperative complications such as decreased quality of life and cardiopulmonary dysfunction.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Total perioperative complication rates [From the time of treatment to one month after operation]

    Complications refer to operation-related adverse events during and after the operation according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification, including pulmonary infection, Broncho-pulmonary hemorrhage, respiratory failure, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, persistent lung leak, arrhythmia, wound infection, death.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Objective response rate(ORR) [One and three months after ablation]

    Objective response rate(ORR)is the proportion of patients with complete responses and partial responses.

  2. Treatment-related side effects [From the time of treatment to one month after operation]

    Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE 5.0.

  3. The operation time [During operation]

    the duration of the operation in minutes.

  4. The intraoperative blood loss [During operation]

    the volume of blood loss in ml.

  5. Postoperative hospital stay (days) [One months after treatment]

    The time of hospitalization in days.

  6. Postoperative extubation time (days) [One months after treatment]

    The duration of chest drainage in days.

  7. Mortality within 30 days after surgery [One month after treatment]

    number of death within 30 days after surgery.

  8. Complications (grade ≥3) [One and three months after treatment]

    complications above grade 3 that need to be treated during and after the operation according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification.

  9. Life expectancy(EORTC QLQ-LC29) [One and three months and every year after treatment]

    patients' quality of life by questionnaires according to EORTC QLQ-LC29.

  10. Lung function [One and three months and every year after treatment]

    forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1).

  11. 3-year disease-free survival(DFS) [A follow-up period of 3 years]

    DFS : the time from surgical resection to clinically confirmed local recurrence, distant metastasis, second primary tumor diagnosis, or patient death (control group since the second operation).

  12. The proportion of completed two operations [During operation, an average of 4 months]

    the patients in control group complete two operations

  13. The overall cost of treatment [During hospitalization, an average of 2 weeks]

    The overall cost of treatment include direct and indirect costs. Additional costs for hospitalization and surgery.

Other Outcome Measures

  1. Biopsy success rate [During operation]

    The percentage of people with successful biopsy.

  2. Biopsy positive rate [During operation]

    The proportion of patients with malignant biopsies in the overall population
