Sponsored by Energenx Medical LTD. · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The goal of this clinical trial is to verify the efficacy and safety of pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment of early-stage unreseectable non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Energenx Medical LTD. is the lead sponsor of 5 studies on the registry; 4 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Inclusion criteria (all requirements must be met at the same time):

Exclusion criteria (if any of the above conditions are met, the patient will be excluded):
5. Has active implants in the chest cavity or metal implants in the lung to be treated; 6. Uncorrectable coagulation abnormalities (>1.5 or APTT>1.5 ), with bleeding tendency; anticoagulant therapy and/or antiplatelet drugs are discontinued before ablation for no longer than the prescribed safety period; \<50×10\^9/L; 7. Severe liver and kidney dysfunction, assessed by the researchers as unsuitable for inclusion; 8. Accompanied by infectious diseases that cannot be effectively controlled; 9. Subjects with other severe lung diseases (including severe interstitial pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis combined with emphysema, atelectasis, etc.), assessed by the researchers as unsuitable for inclusion 10. Acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents such as acute cerebral infarction, acute coronary syndrome, etc. within 3 months; 11. Subjects with severe cardiac dysfunction; history of severe arrhythmias in the past 2 years, including rapid atrial arrhythmias, any rapid ventricular arrhythmias; history of II degree type II or III degree atrioventricular block; and sinus bradycardia with a heart rate of less than 45 beats per minute, etc.; 12. Subjects have participated in or are participating in other clinical trials within three months; 13. Pregnant, lactating women, or women who plan to become pregnant during the study; 14. Subjects determined by the researchers to have other conditions that are unsuitable for inclusion.
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.
Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
ECOG performance status

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)
Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.
Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

Device: PEF Treatment
PEF Energy ablation of lung tumors
6-month complete ablation rate
Time frame: 6 months
Technical success rate
Time frame: immediately after the PEF ablation treatment
6-month pulmonary progression-free survival rate
Time frame: 6 months after the first PEF ablation treatment
12-month complete ablation rate
Time frame: 12 months after the first PEF ablation treatment
12-month pulmonary progression-free survival rate
The proportion of subjects with no pulmonary progression (the first ablation lesion maintained no progression, no hilar lymph node metastasis, no new lesions) accounted for the proportion of evaluable subjects who received ablation

Safety of Intervention
All adverse events were recorded and evaluated according to CTCAE v5.0 (if applicable), and the relevance to the device itself and the treatment was evaluated. The incidence of device-related and surgical treatment-related adverse events and serious adverse events was calculated
Time frame: 12 months
