Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Feasibility to Perform Novel Photodynamic Therapy Into Tumor
Number of times photodynamic therapy was delivered into the tumor using navigational bronchoscopy for each subject.
Day 3 post-treatment
Adverse Events Incidence Indicating Safety of Novel Photodynamic Therapy
The incidence of adverse events following Novel PDT will be presented as the primary safety indicator for this treatment.
Up to 6 months
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Tumor Response at 3 Months Post Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
Up to 3 months
Tumor Response at Study Exit (6 Months) Post Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
From the start of treatment until 6 months post-treatment measured as per the Modified RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) Criteria
Study Arms (1)
Novel light delivery methods for photodynamic therapy
EXPERIMENTALHigh refraction-index contrast medium: Lipiodol injected in the bronchial tree can enhance the treatment extension of the photodynamic therapy
Interventions
Photofrin 2mg/kg was iv injected 48-50 hours before light illumination.
In hybrid operation room setting, a navigational bronchoscope guide sheath was inserted to the proximal end of the tumor region. About 5 ml Lipiodol was infused to full cover whole the tumor.
Using high-refraction index contrast medium: lipiodol as a light diffusor to enhance the range of photodynamic therapy
A cylindrical laser fiber was then inserted through the guide sheath to the tumor region then illuminate light to complete the photodynamic therapy.
