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

Study population: All NSCLC patients attending the responsible department of treating this type of patients (e.g. Oncology Department, Pneumology Department) for the first time (regardless of whether the patient is diagnosed with locally, advanced or metastatic disease) at the participating sites from the first of January 2009 to the end of March 2009. Patients diagnosed, or even treated, in other departments within the same hospital or in another hospital are susceptible to be included in the study if full access to the patient's medical record is made available.

Who may be able to join

  • Confirmed NSCLC diagnosis (e.g. bronchoscope or FNAB), all stages, men and women, attending the responsible department of treating this type of patients for the first time between January 1st, 2009 and March 31st, 2009.
  • For PRO sub-sample: ability to read and write since they will be asked to participate in the PRO part of the study. Selection will not be based on the disease stage of each patient, in order to avoid a selection bias.

Who cannot join

  • According to the study design there will not be any exclusion criteria in order to provide a high external validity and to obtain the most accurate real daily practice information.

About this study

Official title: Epidemiological Study to Describe Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Clinical Management Patterns in Europe. Lung

To provide accurate and reliable information regarding NSCLC clinical management across European countries in order to detect unmet medical needs of this disease in terms of: patient and hospital characteristics; diagnostic and treatment approaches: initial and subsequent, follow-up patterns in clinical management; outcomes: symptoms, death, functionality, quality of life; use of resources and burden on patients and health care systems.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT00831909
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1All NSCLC patients attending the responsible department of treating this type of patients (e.g. Oncology Department, Pneumology Department) for the first time (regardless of whether the patient is diagnosed with locally, advanced or metastatic disease) at the participating sites from the first of January 2009 to the end of March 2009. Patients diagnosed, or even treated, in other departments within the same hospital or in another hospital are susceptible to be included in the study if full access to the patient's medical record is made available.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To provide accurate, reliable information on NSCLC clinical management across European countries in order to detect unmet medical needs of this disease

    Measured: 1 year follow up

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. To assess the differences in patient characteristics, disease stage (differentiating between non-advanced disease, locally advanced disease, metastatic disease), and in clinical management across European countries.

    Measured: 1 year follow up

  2. To detect differences in clinical outcomes and related factors among countries.

    Measured: 1 year follow up

  3. To identify factors associated with clinical outcomes (patient, disease stage and clinical management related factors): predictive modelling for improved patient outcome.

    Measured: 1 year follow up

  4. To identify factors associated with the different levels of functional status and quality of life.

    Measured: 1 year follow up

  5. To compare the use of health care resources among countries.

    Measured: 1 year follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of NSCLC, run by AstraZeneca at 162 sites in 8 countries.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Aug 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 162 sites in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Greece and 3 more countries. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To provide accurate, reliable information on NSCLC clinical management across European countries in order to detect unmet medical needs of this disease (time frame: 1 year follow up). 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 NCT00831909, which also lists 2 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 10 Aug 2010.
