Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Pulmonary Nodule; Lung Cancer

• Registration Number: NCT06923774
• Lead Sponsor: Intuitive Surgical

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to collect collect real-world data for the Ion endoluminal system.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, observational, multi-center, single-arm study to collect real-world data evaluating procedural characteristics and short- and long-term clinical outcomes following the use of the CE-marked Ion endoluminal system for elective lung nodule biopsies and/or localization procedures. It is a post-market study using the device per the approved indications. All patients will be enrolled per the protocol eligibility criteria. Enrollment for this study will conclude when approximately 1,200 patients have had a nodule biopsy and/or localization procedure attempted or performed.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Diagnostic Yield	Intra-procedure through 24 month post-procedure	Diagnostic Yield defined as the sum of true positives and true negatives divided by the total number of nodules biopsied. Primary outcome analyses will exclude subjects that are enrolled for localization procedure only.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pneumothorax	Intra-procedure through 30 days post-procedure	Defined as the incidence of subjects that undergo an Ion procedure with a pneumothorax event, requiring intervention
Bleeding	Intra-procedure through the 30 day post-procedure	Defined as the incidence of subjects that undergo an Ion Procedure with a bleeding event, with a grade of greater than 2 on the Nashville Scale
