About this study

Official title: A Randomized Prospective Controlled Study of Active Pain Management in Lung Cancer Outpatients (APM)

This study is:

  • A single-center, randomized, prospective controlled trial.
  • To prove superiority of active pain management group compared to control group by the percent of pain intensity difference of outpatients with lung cancer pain.
  • 204 patients will be recruited.
Read the detailed description
  • The recruited patients in both group will be provided the education about pain-killer, and received medicines including opioids according to their numeric rating scale (NRS)
  • Active management group will be provided additional telephone counseling and dosage modification by specialized nurse for cancer pain.
  • The percent of pain intensity difference (%PID)
  • PID = (NRS of visit 1 - NRS of visit 3)/NRS of visit 1

What is being measured

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

  1. The percent of pain intensity difference

    The percent of pain intensity difference (%PID)

    %PID = (NRS of visit 1 - NRS of visit 3)/NRS of visit 1

    Measured: visit 3 (6 to 8 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Patients' satisfaction score about pain management

    Qustionnaire of 5-point scale

    Measured: visit 3 (6 to 8 weeks)

  2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance score

    ECOG performance status: 0,1,2,3,4

    Measured: visit 3 (6 to 8 weeks)

  3. Assessment of Korean Brief Pain Inventory score

    Qustionnaire; K-BPI(Korean Brief Pain Inventory)

    Measured: visit 3 (6 to 8 weeks)

  4. Investigator's global assessment score

    Qustionnaire of 5-point scale

    Measured: visit 3 (6 to 8 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Active pain management in people with Lung Cancer, run by Chonnam National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 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 5 Feb 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 South Korea. 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 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?

The percent of pain intensity difference (time frame: visit 3 (6 to 8 weeks)). 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 5 Feb 2016.
