Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Primary Effectiveness: Technical Success
Technical success, defined as complete coverage of the tumor as determined ≤36 hours post-index procedure by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computerized tomography (CT). \[Core Lab Adjudicated\]
Up to 36 hours after the index procedure
Primary Safety: Freedom From Index Procedure Related Major Complications
Freedom from index procedure related major complications, defined by Clavien-Dindo Classification Grade 3 or higher up to 30 days after the last histotripsy procedure. \[Clinical Events Committee Adjudicated\]
30 days Post-Index Procedure
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Technique Efficacy (Primary)
90 days Post-Index Procedure
Technique Efficacy (Secondary)

Study Arms (1)
HistoSonics Investigational System
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
The HistoSonics Investigational System is intended for the non-invasive destruction of kidney tissue using histotripsy, a non-thermal mechanical process of focused ultrasound.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Subject is ≥18 years of age.
- Subject has signed the Ethics Committee (EC) approved trial Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to any trial related tests/procedures and is willing to comply with trial procedures and required follow-up assessments.
- Subject is diagnosed with a non-metastatic solid renal mass ≤3cm confirmed via CT or MRI ≤ 30 days prior to the index procedure date.
- Subject can tolerate general anesthesia.
- Subject has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) grade 0-2 at baseline screening.
- Subject meets all the following functional criteria at ≤14 days prior to the planned index procedure date:
- White Blood Cell (WBC) ≥3,000/mm3
- Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥1,200/mm3
- Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥9 g/dL
- Platelet count ≥100,000/mm3 (≥100 10\*9/L)
- White Blood Cell (WBC) ≤40 cells/µL via urinalysis
- Albumin ≤300,000 mg/L via urinalysis
- Subject has an eGFR ≥45mL/min, ≤14 days prior to the planned index procedure date.
- International Normalized Ratio (INR) score of \<1.5:
- If on anticoagulants, other than aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, assessment must be performed on the day of the procedure; OR
- +6 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Subject is pregnant or planning to become pregnant or nursing (lactating) during the trial period.
- Subject is enrolled and being actively treated in another investigational pharmaceutical or device trial ≤30 days prior to planned index procedure date.
- Subject is undergoing active chemotherapy for any cancer ≤14 days prior to planned index procedure date.
- Subject is undergoing active immunotherapy ≤40 days prior to planned index procedure date.
- In the Investigator's opinion, the subject has co-morbid disease(s) or condition(s) that would cause undue risk and preclude safe use of the HistoSonics Investigational System.
- Subject is on dialysis or being considered for dialysis.
- Subject has not recovered to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 2 or better from any adverse effects (except alopecia and neuropathy) related to previous anti-cancer therapy.
- Subject has an uncorrectable coagulopathy other than that induced by aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Subject has a planned cancer treatment (e.g., nephrectomy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy etc.) prior to completion of the 30-day follow-up visit.
- Subject has had previous treatments with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or both that have not been discontinued ≥14 days prior to the planned index procedure date and have not recovered (CTCAE grade 2 or better) from related toxicity (exclusive of alopecia and neuropathy).
- Subject has previous treatment with immunotherapies that has not been discontinued ≥40-days prior to the planned index procedure date and has not recovered from related toxicity (CTCAE grade 2 or better).
- Subject has a life expectancy less than one (\< 1) year.
- In the investigator's opinion, histotripsy is not a treatment option for the subject.
- Subject has a concurrent condition that could jeopardize the safety of the subject or compliance with the protocol.
- Subjects' targeted tumor has had prior locoregional therapy (e.g., ablation, embolization, radiation).
