项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this Phase I SBIR Grant Proposal is to develop a new device and methodology for local elevation of a target tissue's temperature prior to a planned thermal ablation, a process we've dubbed "hyperablation". In preliminary work we demonstrated that raising the pre-treated temperature of a target tissue by 100C resulted in a 60% increase in volumetric ablation size. Others have shown the benefits of embolization or other methods to decrease convective cooling from blood flow prior to an ablation procedure. The proposed hyperablation device would provide a unique way to accomplish both strategies and should lead to a significant increase in thermal ablation efficiency. Application of this technology may go beyond ablation and prove useful in a number of areas where hyperthermia is being investigated such as heat- activated liposomal chemotherapy, regional chemotherapy, and hyperthermia-enhanced radiation procedures. We will seek input from clinical collaborators and perform modeling simulations to guide the design of the hyperthermia catheter. We will source materials, fabricate prototypes, and test the device in a benchtop setup using physiologic conditions and tissue samples. Finally, we will work with clinical experts in interventional radiology to test the device in a large animal model and evaluate the performance and potential benefits of this treatment approach in the context of thermal ablation in the liver. At the end of this project, we will have determined the feasibility of creating local hyperthermia with this device and understand the potential benefits and applications for this approach. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The goal of this Phase I SBIR Grant proposal is to develop a novel catheter technology capable of inducing local hyperthermia and halting blood flow prior to an ablation procedure. The system will be useful for enhancing ablation zone size and may find application with other chemotherapy and radiation based protocols. This proposal is focused on design, fabrication, and testing of a prototype device in benchtop and pilot animal studies

描述（由申请人提供）：第一阶段 SBIR 拨款提案的目标是开发一种新的设备和方法，用于在计划的热消融之前局部升高目标组织的温度，我们将这一过程称为“超消融”。在初步工作中，我们证明将目标组织的预处理温度提高 100°C 会导致体积消融尺寸增加 60%。其他人已经展示了栓塞或其他方法在消融手术之前减少血流对流冷却的好处。所提出的超级消融装置将提供一种独特的方式来实现这两种策略，并且应该会导致热消融效率的显着提高。该技术的应用可能超越消融，并在许多正在研究热疗的领域中证明是有用的，例如热激活脂质体化疗、区域化疗和热疗增强放射治疗。我们将寻求临床合作者的意见并进行建模模拟来指导热疗导管的设计。我们将采购材料、制造原型，并使用生理条件和组织样本在台式装置中测试该设备。最后，我们将与介入放射学临床专家合作，在大型动物模型中测试该设备，并评估这种治疗方法在肝脏热消融背景下的性能和潜在益处。在该项目结束时，我们将确定使用该设备产生局部热疗的可行性，并了解该方法的潜在好处和应用。公共健康相关性：第一阶段 SBIR 拨款提案的目标是开发一种新型导管技术，能够在消融手术之前诱导局部高温并阻止血流。该系统将有助于扩大消融区域的大小，并可能与其他基于化疗和放疗的方案一起应用。该提案的重点是在台式和实验动物研究中设计、制造和测试原型设备
