Trial summary

The patients from 12 centers were included into the study. pN2 patients received PORT, pN1 patients did not. PORT was 3D-planned and consisted in 54-56 Gy in 27-28 fractions. One month after surgery, all patients completed EORTC QLQ C-30 questionnaires and had pulmonary function tests (PFT); cardiopulmonary symptoms… Read more about this study

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: It was assessed that during planned 3 years of accrual approximately 360 stage II patients treated with surgery alone and approximately 240 stage III patients treated with surgery and postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) would enter the study.The higher number of inclusions of pN1 was planned, because of expected higher percentage of cancer related deaths within two years in pN2 patients. Patients with pN1 disease were followed in the thoracic surgery center and had no PORT. Patients with pN2 disease were referred to PORT.

Who may be able to join

  • complete resection by lobectomy, bi-lobectomy or pneumonectomy of NSCLC,
  • pN1 or pN2 disease,
  • signed informed consent for participation in the study,
  • Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) higher than 70%.

Who cannot join

  • presence of distant metastases,
  • N2 diagnosed before surgery in imaging and/or mediastinoscopy,
  • previous radiotherapy to the chest,
  • no or inadequate mediastinal nodal dissection ,
  • FEV1 after surgery lower than 1.0 liter,
  • any active infectious process (including fistula formation) in the chest

About this study

Official title: Prospective Comparison of Quality of Life and Cardiopulmonary Morbidity After Surgery in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Treated With and Without Postoperative Radiotherapy

The patients from 12 centers were included into the study. pN2 patients received PORT, pN1 patients did not. PORT was 3D-planned and consisted in 54-56 Gy in 27-28 fractions. One month after surgery, all patients completed EORTC QLQ C-30 questionnaires and had pulmonary function tests (PFT); cardiopulmonary symptoms were assessed by modified LENT-SOM score. Two years after, all patients free of disease repeated the same examinations. Changes in QLQ, LENT-SOM score and the results of PFT were compared for patients receiving and not PORT.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pulmonary function

    All patients had pulmonary function tests (PFT) with Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) recorded.

    Measured: One month after surgery and two years after postoperative radiotherapy or surgery alone

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quality of Life

    For quality of life assessment, patients were asked to complete the Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 Items (QLC-C30) of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC).

    Measured: One month after surgery and two years after postoperative radiotherapy or surgery alone

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Maria Sklodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology at 1 site in Poland.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2011. 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 Poland. 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?

Pulmonary function (time frame: One month after surgery and two years after postoperative radiotherapy or surgery alone). 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 NCT01112631, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Sep 2011.
