About this study

This is a prospective, observational, multi-center, single-arm study to collect real-world data evaluating procedural characteristics and short- and long-term clinical outcomes following the use of the CE-marked Ion endoluminal system for elective lung nodule biopsies and/or localization procedures. It is a post-market study using the device per the approved indications. All patients will be enrolled per the protocol eligibility criteria. Enrollment for this study will conclude when approximately 1,200 patients have had a nodule biopsy and/or localization procedure attempted or performed.

Treatment and study plan

Ion Endoluminal System

Device

Lung nodule biopsy and/or localization procedure using the Ion endoluminal system per sites' standard of care

Primary outcomes

  1. Diagnostic Yield

    Time frame: Intra-procedure through 24 month post-procedure

    Diagnostic Yield defined as the sum of true positives and true negatives divided by the total number of nodules biopsied. Primary outcome analyses will exclude subjects that are enrolled for localization procedure only.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pneumothorax

    Time frame: Intra-procedure through 30 days post-procedure

    Defined as the incidence of subjects that undergo an Ion procedure with a pneumothorax event, requiring intervention

  2. Bleeding

    Time frame: Intra-procedure through the 30 day post-procedure

    Defined as the incidence of subjects that undergo an Ion Procedure with a bleeding event, with a grade of greater than 2 on the Nashville Scale
