Trial summary

Lung cancer is one of the most deadly types of cancer and the leading cause of death in cancer in Sweden. Five year survival is 10% in men and 15% in women. Approximately 3300 individuals in Sweden are diagnosed each year and the incidence of adenocarcinoma is increasing. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Retrospective, Medical Record Study to Investigate the Current Situation of Biopsy Testing in the Swedish Inoperable Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Patient Population

Lung cancer is one of the most deadly types of cancer and the leading cause of death in cancer in Sweden. Five year survival is 10% in men and 15% in women. Approximately 3300 individuals in Sweden are diagnosed each year and the incidence of adenocarcinoma is increasing. Lung cancer patients are to a great extent currently being diagnosed by exfoliative cytology. However, new drugs leading to more personalized treatments will demand more specific classification of tumour types. Today EGFR mutation status is becoming an important factor when deciding treatment strategy for patients with Non-Small Cell Lung cancer.

Sufficient tumour material must be available if EGFR mutation status is to be tested. Core needle biopsy is one way to obtain the quantity of material needed when testing mutation status. The portion of patients having core needle biopsies is believed to vary greatly between hospitals in Sweden, a difference from 20% to 70 % have been assumed, but is not yet confirmed in studies. This study will investigate the current situation and procedures when patients are diagnosed with lung cancer. The results can be used to describe any possible adverse events connected to the procedure and possibly contribute to development of a better decision tool to be used when deciding if a core needle biopsy is to be performed or not.

More and more therapeutical targets having similar problems are likely to be developed in the future. An investigation of current quality and procedures when diagnosing lung cancer by biopsies will facilitate future diagnosing of lung cancer and ensure that personalized treatments can be offered to patients.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1Inoperable non small cell lung cancer patients. Diagnosed between 2010-05-31 and 2009-06-01.

What is being measured

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

  1. Describe complications connected to biopsy and bronchoscopy in the investigated lung cancer population.

    Measured: Data will be collected retrospectively from medical records. Data of complications will be collected from when the complication occurred and then any overnight stay caused by complication, approximately a few days.

  2. Describe time to diagnosis for patients diagnosed by transthoracic biopsy compared to patients diagnosed by bronchoscopy.

    Measured: Data will be collected retrospectively from medical records. The time span assessed will be from first contact at hospital to the date of diagnosis. Approximately a time frame of a few weeks up to several months.

  3. Describe difference in clinical outcome for patients diagnosed by histopathology compared to patients diagnosed by cytology alone, one year after diagnosis.

    Measured: Data will be collected retrospectively from medical records. The time of data collection will be at least one year after diagnosis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 3 sites in Sweden.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 25 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Sweden. 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?

Describe complications connected to biopsy and bronchoscopy in the investigated lung cancer population. (time frame: Data will be collected retrospectively from medical records. Data of complications will be collected from when the complication occurred and then any overnight stay caused by complication, approximately a few days.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Feb 2013.
