Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with a cytological or histological diagnosis of stage IA non-cell lung cancer diagnosed in accordance with Dutch CBO guidelines [2004]. When no pathological diagnosis is available, a patient with a new or growing pulmonary lesion with radiological features consistent with malignancy AND a lesion showing uptake on a FDG-PET scan will be eligible [Herder 2005].
  • No evidence of regional or distant metastases on a standardized FDG-PET scan within 6 weeks of any protocol treatment .
  • The medial extension of tumors should be least 2 cm away from main and lobar bronchi, and also minimum of 1.5 cm from large peripheral blood vessels such as the aorta and main pulmonary artery. Lesions of at least 2 cm from the mediastinal pleura will be eligible if the responsible radiation oncologist judges that the specified normal tissue tolerance doses specified in the protocol will not be exceeded.
  • Patients who are judged by a multi-disciplinary team to have 2 primary lung tumors (on the basis of clinical, radiological, FDG-PET and/or cyto-pathology findings) are eligible for randomization provided that both surgery and SRT can be performed in accordance with protocol requirements.
  • Patient should be fit to undergo a complete surgical resection of the lesion in accordance with Dutch CBO guidelines [2004]
  • Performance score of ECOG ≤ 2 before any treatment.
  • Able to comply with post-treatment follow-up
  • Patients must sign and date a written Independent Ethics Committee approved informed consent form.

Who cannot join

  • Prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy for the present diagnosis of NSCLC.
  • History of any active malignancy (other than NSCLC) unless treated more than 3 years with curative intent and no recurrence, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancers or in-situ cervical cancers.
  • Any unstable systemic disease (including active infection, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within the previous year, severe cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication, hepatic, renal or metabolic disease).
  • Concomitant treatment with any other experimental drug under investigation.
  • Pregnancy
  • Men and women of child-bearing potential not using effective means of contraception for 6 months after treatment has been completed.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Clinical Trial of Surgery Versus Radiosurgery (Stereotactic Radiotherapy) in Patients With Stage IA NSCLC Who Are Fit to Undergo Primary Resection

The standard treatment for an early stage I lung cancer is surgery. However, surgery can be associated with complications and long-term impairment of the quality of life of patients. Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is a outpatient technique which allows for local control rates that are comparable to those achieved using surgery. In this study, patients with stage IA non-small cell lung cancer will be randomized to either surgery or SRT in order to study the local and regional tumor control, quality of life and treatment costs at 2- and 5-years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing stereotactic radiotherapy and primary surgery in people with Lung Cancer, run by Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc at 1 site in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Poor recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

local and regional control (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00687986, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Mar 2022.
