What participants receive

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

  • Real time position management systemDevice

    Also called Varian

    Device to monitor respiration by using optical monitoring of a marker block placed on the abdomen of the patient.

  • LS PET/CTDevice

    Also called GE

    PET/CT scanner for acquiring CT and PET images (3D and 4D)

  • 18-FDGDrug

    Also called Fludeoxyglucose (18F), fluorodeoxyglucose (18F)

    15mCi

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure the difference in number of artifacts on 4D CT scans using audiovisual biofeedback in comparison to Free breathing.

    The first, third, fifth seventh and ninth patients accrued to the protocol will have their free breathing studies performed first. The second, fourth, sixth, eighth and tenth patients accrued to the protocol will have their audiovisual (a/v) biofeedback studies performed first.

    Measured: Day one

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Stanford University at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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 1 Jul 2016. 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 United States. 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?

Measure the difference in number of artifacts on 4D CT scans using audiovisual biofeedback in comparison to Free breathing. (time frame: Day one). 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 NCT01172041, 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 1 Jul 2016.
