Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Flexible Bronchoscopic Microwave Ablation

Experimental: Flexible Microwave Ablation - Soft tissue ablation will be performed using the phenoWave flexible Microwave Ablation System and Accessories on lesions in the peripheral lung. The image-guided ablation procedure may utilize a combination of the radial EBUS and conebeam CT to confirm the lesion, position of the device relative to lesion and monitor the ablation progress.


Treatment: Devices: Flexible Bronchoscopic Microwave Ablation
The phenoWave flexible microwave ablation system will be used to perform soft tissue ablation in the lungs under image guidance.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Age 45-77 years at screening.

- Confirmed NSCLC or solitary metastatic (oligometastatic) or pulmonary metastases from
an extra thoracic primary tumor lung nodule through diagnostic biopsy

- Must be eligible for curative lung resection (lobectomy).

- For primary tumor, pre-ablated parenchymal tumor/lesion size = 20 mm if NSCLC, or = 10
mm for metastatic disease in diameter as measured from pre-operative CT image.

- Willing to participate in all aspects of study protocol for duration of study.

- Able to understand study requirements.

- Signs informed consent form.

- Boundary of tumor is at least 15 mm away from the pleura wall and/or fissure.
Minimum age
45 Years
Maximum age
77 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- Any contraindication to bronchoscopy, for example:

- Untreatable life-threatening arrhythmias.

- Inability to adequately oxygenate the patient during the procedure.

- Acute respiratory failure with hypercapnia (unless the patient is intubated and
ventilated).

- Recent myocardial infarction.

- Uncorrectable coagulopathy.

- Known coagulopathy.

- Platelet dysfunction or platelet count < 100 x 109 cells/L OR taking anticoagulant or
antiplatelet agents that cannot be safely ceased in the opinion of the pulmonologist
or surgeon.

- History of major bleeding with bronchoscopy.

- Suspected pulmonary hypertension.

- Moderate-to-severe pulmonary fibrosis.

- Severe emphysema (GOLD III/IV) or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) within
3cm of tumor/lesion boundary: prior COPD assessment data is evaluated and PI consent
is required.

- Bullae >5 centimeter (cm) located in vicinity of target tumor/lesion.

- Any other severe or life-threatening comorbidity that could increase the risk of
bronchoscopic MWA, for example:

- American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification >P3

- Stage 3 heart failure

- Severe cachexia

- Severe respiratory insufficiency or hypoxia

- Ongoing systemic infection.

- Contraindication to general anesthesia.

- Inability to stop anticoagulants (e.g., heparin, Warfarin) or antiplatelet agents
(e.g. aspirin, clopidogrel) prior to procedure.

- Participation in any other study in last 30 days.

- Breastfeeding women or females of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy
test prior to the procedure or the intent to become pregnant during the study.

- Life expectancy of less than 6 months.

- Prior radiation therapy treatment in the target lobe.

- Implantable pacemaker or defibrillator.
