Broncho-Adventitial Delivery of Paclitaxel to Extend Airway Patency in Malignant Airway Obstruction Patients

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Malignant Airway Obstruction Secondary to Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02066103
Lead Sponsor
Mercator MedSystems, Inc.
Brief Summary

Assess the safety and feasibility of local oncological drug delivery into the bronchial wall after recanalization of subjects with malignant airway obstruction. Safety and feasibility (technical success) will be assessed.

This localized delivery is intended as an adjunct therapy and all subjects will receive standard of care oncology therapy as determined by their treating physicians.
