Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Arm Description

The subjects will first undergo interventional bronchoscopy to reach the target lesion through the bronchial pathway. Then the lung lesions will be treated with radiofrequency ablation using the pulmonary radiofrequency ablation system and the disposable pulmonary radiofrequency ablation catheter.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Complete ablation rate of main lesions at 6 months
Six months after the overall ablation procedure, the proportion that subjects whose main lesions maintain completely ablated account for all evaluable subjects who receive radiofrequency ablation.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Technical success rate (in terms of ablation operations)
It is defined as the proportion that the ablation operations in which the test device is successfully placed at the target lesion and the device is successfully withdrawn after treatment procedure, account for all ablation operations.
Complete ablation rate at 6 months (in terms of ablation lesions)
Six months after overall ablation procedure, the proportion that lesions completely ablated account for all evaluable lesions that receive radiofrequency ablation.
Complete ablation rate at 6 months (in terms of subjects)
Six months after overall ablation procedure, the proportion that subjects whose all ablation lesions maintain completely ablated account for all evaluable subjects who receive radiofrequency ablation.
Intrapulmonary progression-free survival rate at 6 months
Six months after overall ablation procedure, the proportion that subjects with no progression in the lung (the original ablation lesions maintain completely ablated, no metastasis of hilar lymph nodes, and no new lesions) account for all evaluable subjects who receive radiofrequency ablation.
Complete ablation rate at 12 months (in terms of ablation lesions)
Twelve months after the completion of the overall ablation, the proportion that lesions which maintain completely ablated account for all evaluable lesions that receive radiofrequency ablation.
Complete ablation rate at 12 months (in terms of subjects)
Twelve months after overall ablation procedure, the proportion that subjects whose all ablation lesions maintain completely ablated account for all evaluable subjects who receive radiofrequency ablation.
Intrapulmonary progression-free survival rate at 1 year
Twelve months after the completion of the overall ablation, the proportion that subjects with no progression in the lung (the original ablation lesions maintain completely ablated, no metastasis of hilar lymph nodes, and no new lesions) account for all evaluable subjects who receive radiofrequency ablation.
Overall survival rate (OS) at 1 year
It is defined as the proportion of surviving subjects at 1 year from enrollment.
Quality of life (QoL)
The QoL changes are evaluated according to the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORCT QLQ C30) assessment scale during the follow-up. The EORCT QLQ C30 incorporates five functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting), a global health status / QoL scale, and a number of single items assessing additional symptoms commonly reported by cancer patients (dyspnoea, loss of appetite, insomnia, constipation and diarrhoea) and perceived financial impact of the disease.
Safety
All adverse events will be recorded during operation and during the follow-up, and be evaluated according to the CTCAE v5.0 (if applicable). Related and possible related AEs and SAEs will be determined and evaluated.
