Endobronchial Ultrasound Transbronchial Needle Guided Interstitial Photodynamic Therapy for Palliation of Locally Advanced Lung Cancer and Advanced Cancers Obstructing the Airway -Phase I/II
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Porfimer Sodium and Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle-Delivered Interstitial Photodynamic Therapy for Locally Advanced Lung Carcinoma and 7 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 19 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This Phase I/Il studies the side effects of endobronchial ultrasound guided interstitial photodynamic therapy work in treating patients with lung cancer that has spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes. Photodynamic therapy consists of injecting a light sensitive drug called a photosensitizer, such as porfimer sodium, into the vein, waiting for it to accumulate in the tumor, and then activating it with a red laser light. Giving photodynamic therapy with Porfimer sodium may reduce the tumor size in patients with lung cancer.
