Brief Summary
Phase 1/1b, safety, feasibility, and light dose titration study followed by further study of therapeutic ablation effects. Patients with high risk of peripheral primary lung cancer, stage 1A1/1A2, for whom surgical treatment is planned, will be recruited. Surgery will be performed at 5-21 days following the VTP procedure. Study intervention: robotic assisted bronchoscopic Padeliporfin VTP lung ablation: vascular targeted photodynamic therapy using Padeliporfin photosensitizer.

Study Arms (2)
Part A
EXPERIMENTALwill be a monotherapy light dose escalation with single dose of Padeliporfin at light laser doses of 150, 250 and 400 mW/cm for 20 minutes. Part A will proceed with light dose escalation and will continue until the maximum tolerated light dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) is defined.
Part B
EXPERIMENTALwill be a dose expansion part at MTD/RP2D dose level identified in Part A to further assess the safety, tolerability, and treatment effect of the MTD and/ or RP2D
Interventions
Bronchoscopy will be performed with robotic assisted approach using standard practices using general anaesthesia and placement of the optic fiber intratumorally followed by IV administration of Padeliporfin for 10 min and laser light illumination.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥18
- Patients with primary lung lesions who are at high risk for primary lung cancer.
- All patients will be approved by a multi-disciplinary team (thoracic surgery, interventional pulmonology, medical oncology and radiation oncology) as appropriate for bronchoscopic VTP prior to surgical resection.
- Tumor size targeted for VTP treatment ≤ 2 cm (Part A) and \<3cm (Part B), based on CT scan, including solid or semi-solid tumors.
- EBUS mediastinal staging performed intraoperative prior to VTP treatment with rapid on-site evaluation negative for nodal involvement of malignancy.
- Tumor is ≥ 2cm from the central bronchial tree (distal 2 cm of the trachea, carina, and named major lobar bronchi up to their first bifurcation) (Timmerman, 2018).
- Lung lesion is not contiguous with and ≥ 1 cm from the pleura/fissures.
- Patient is eligible to undergo bronchoscopy under general anesthesia.
