A trial of pleura embolisation during lung ablation
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at a new procedure called pleural embolisation that may reduce air leaks after lung ablation. It tests whether using this technique during ablation is safe and effective for people with lung lesions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new way to treat small lung cancers using a special tool during bronchoscopy (a scope down the windpipe). The goal is to see if the ablation (heat treatment) works well before the tumor is surgically removed.
This trial compares two ways to freeze and destroy small lung tumors: through the chest wall or through the airways. It’s for people with early-stage lung cancer who are not able or willing to have surgery.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure that uses microwave energy to destroy lung tumors. It is for people who are already candidates for surgery but may want a less invasive option.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to treat lung cancer using microwave energy delivered through a thin tube inserted into the airway. It is for people with small, confirmed lung tumors who are already being considered for surgery, and who cannot or prefer not to have blood thinners.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure using microwave energy to destroy small lung tumors, guided by a thin tube through the airways. It may be an option if you can't have standard surgery or radiation, or choose not to.
This trial uses heat, delivered through a needle, to destroy small lung tumors. It might be an option for people who cannot have surgery due to other health problems.
