Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety of delivering Aliya PEF in patients with metastatic cancer within the lungs or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are treatment-naïve and indicated for first-line standard of care (SOC) cancer therapy.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient has suspected or confirmed metastatic cancer within the lungs, or stage IVnon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) requiring biopsy.

  • Patient has radiologically documented suspected, or confirmed tumor(s) that are ≤ 5cm in longest diameter and deemed by the investigator to be suitable per studyprocedural guidelines for treatment with PEF.

  • Patient is deemed eligible to receive 1L SOC therapy for their malignancy.

  • In the opinion of the investigator, the patient is not a surgical candidate forcurative intent, or the patient has refused surgery.

  • Life expectancy ≥ 6 months.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient has received any prior cancer therapy for current tumor(s) to be treatedwith PEF.

  • Patient is scheduled to receive investigational therapies (including device-basedtherapy) that may interfere with the study endpoints while on this study.

  • Patient has clinical evidence of leptomeningeal disease or brain metastases thatrequire SOC treatment within 4 weeks post-PEF treatment.

  • Patient with active, known, or suspected autoimmune disease.

  • Patient with type I diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism only requiring hormonereplacement, skin disorders (such as vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia) not requiringsystemic treatment, or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of anexternal trigger are permitted to enroll.

  • Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroidreplacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a formof systemic treatment and is allowed.

  • Patient has received systemic treatment with corticosteroids (> 10 mg dailyprednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 30 daysprior to study enrollment. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacementdoses > 10 mg daily prednisone or equivalent are permitted in the absence of activeautoimmune disease.

  • Patient has any history of primary immunodeficiency.

  • Patient has clinical signs or symptoms of active tuberculosis infection.

  • Patient has documented evidence of acute hepatitis or has an active or uncontrolledinfection.

  • Patient has undergone major surgery (excluding placement of vascular access) within 28 days prior to study enrollment or has planned major surgeries while enrolled inthe study,

Study Description

The Aliya Treatment System is designed to deliver therapeutic PEF energy to target tissues, via either a percutaneous or bronchoscopic approach. In order to evaluate the therapeutic potential of PEF delivered via the Aliya Treatment System as an interventional treatment, this clinical trial will evaluate the safety of delivering Aliya PEF in non-surgical advanced stage disease treatment-naïve patients indicated for diagnostic biopsy and first line (1L) standard of care (SOC) therapy. Additionally, this study will examine the safety of adding PEF treatment to the care pathway for patients with metastatic cancer to the lung or stage IV NSCLC and further assess the potential immune modulation and treatment effect of PEF for providing benefit to oncological patients, as outlined below.
