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: Patients scheduled for VATS lobectomy for histologically confirmed Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) or scheduled for VATS wedge resection for undiagnosed pulmonary nodule or metastasis from colorectal cancer (CRC) in accordance with their institution's Standard-of-care (SOC).

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically confirmed NSCLC (up to and including Stage II) for patients undergoing VATS lobectomy. For patients undergoing wedge resection for undiagnosed pulmonary nodule or metastasis from CRC, a malignant diagnosis may be confirmed post-operatively.
  • Scheduled for lung resection surgery (lobectomy or wedge resection) involving only one lobe of the lung
  • Willing to give consent and comply with evaluation and treatment schedule
  • At least 18 years of age

Who cannot join

  • Active bacterial infection or fungal infection
  • Systemic administration (intravenous or oral) of steroids (within 30 days prior to study procedure)
  • Chemotherapy or radiation therapy for lung cancer may not be performed for 30 days prior to the procedure
  • Scheduled concurrent surgical procedure other than wedge resection or lobectomy (central venous access - e.g. port placement, mediastinoscopy with lymph node sampling, and VATS lymphadenectomy are allowed);
  • Prior history of VATS or open lung surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), run by Ethicon Endo-Surgery (Europe) GmbH at 1 site in Denmark.

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 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 12 Feb 2015. 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 Denmark. 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?

occurrence and duration of post-operative air leak (time frame: prolonged air leak defined as longer than 5 days post-op). 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 12 Feb 2015.
