Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this prospective, multi-centre, single-arm feasibility trial is to evaluate the technical success and safety profile of the HistoSonics System for the treatment of primary solid renal tumours using histotripsy.
Methods/design: The CAIN trial will enrol up to 20 patients with a non-metastatic solid renal tumour ≤ 3 cm treated with histotripsy. Histotripsy is a non-thermal and non-ionizing mechanical process of tissue destruction resulting from the targeted delivery of focused ultrasound pulses. The primary endpoints are technical success and freedom from index procedure related major complications. Technical success is defined as complete coverage of the tumour as determined ≤ 36 h post-index procedure by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computerized tomography (CT). An index procedure related major complication is defined as Clavien-Dindo Classification Grade 3 or higher up to 30 days after the last histotripsy procedure. Treated patients will have a follow-up visit performed at 14 days, 30 days, 90 days, and 180 days post-procedure.
期刊介绍:
CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology (CVIR) is the official journal of the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe, and is also the official organ of a number of additional distinguished national and international interventional radiological societies. CVIR publishes double blinded peer-reviewed original research work including clinical and laboratory investigations, technical notes, case reports, works in progress, and letters to the editor, as well as review articles, pictorial essays, editorials, and special invited submissions in the field of vascular and interventional radiology. Beside the communication of the latest research results in this field, it is also the aim of CVIR to support continuous medical education. Articles that are accepted for publication are done so with the understanding that they, or their substantive contents, have not been and will not be submitted to any other publication.
