Safety and Feasibility of MR-guided Laser Thermal Ablation of Brain Lesions

Study Purpose

This will be an open-label, pilot, exploratory, single centre clinical investigation. This is an early feasibility single arm study. No formal hypothesis is proposed. A total of up to 15 evaluable subjects receiving a non-radical ablation is planned. The safety and feasibility outcomes will be measured directly post-treatment, 48h and 3 months post-treatment. A minimal invasive neurosurgical approach with a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-based stereotactic guidance system will be utilized for the planning, navigation, intracranial access, placement and confirmation of the Laser applicator prior to ablation.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years - 80 Years
Gender	All

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT05296122
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	N/A
