Trial summary

Lung tumors of non-small cell stage 1A are usually treated surgically but many patients are not operable because of their condition or respiratory problems associated with it. The treatment is then suggested that local radiotherapy is conventionally carried out in split mode for 6 weeks at a dose of 60-65 Gy… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Effectiveness of Local Ablathermy Radio Frequency (RF) Bronchial Tumors Primitive Stage IA Non-surgical Patients. Phase II Multicenter National

Lung tumors of non-small cell stage 1A are usually treated surgically but many patients are not operable because of their condition or respiratory problems associated with it. The treatment is then suggested that local radiotherapy is conventionally carried out in split mode for 6 weeks at a dose of 60-65 Gy irradiation mode This exposes the patient to complications, including post-radiation pneumonitis.

Lung tumors of non-small cell stage 1A are usually treated surgically but many patients are not operable because of their condition or respiratory problems associated with it.

The treatment is then suggested that local radiotherapy is conventionally carried out in split mode for 6 weeks at a dose of 60-65 Gy irradiation mode This exposes the patient to complications, including post-radiation pneumonitis.

This can be problematic in patients with respiratory failure for which surgical treatment has been challenged. Radiofrequency pulmonary developed as a therapeutic alternative, it has the advantage of being performed in a session with less toxicity in the lung parenchyma

What participants receive

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

  • Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA)Procedure or surgery

    Computed tomography (CT) was used to treat tumors under general anesthesia. Thoracic epidural anesthesia was administered in case of contraindication to general anesthesia mostly due to poor respiratory function. All patients were treated with the same multitine electrodes (LeVeen; Boston Scientific, Nattick. MA) measuring 3, 3.5, or 4 cm in diameter and at least 10 mm larger than the diameter of the target tumor. Multiple overlapping ablations were performed, when needed, in different parts of the tumor in order to cover the entire volume.

What is being measured

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

  1. Local Tumor Control Rate 1 Year After Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

    local control is defined as the absence of progression of the ablated site. rate is defined as the number of alive patient without local progression divided by the number of patients alive at one year.

    Measured: one year after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Local Tumor Control Rate 3 Years After Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

    local control is defined as the absence of progression of the ablated site. rate is defined as the number of alive patient without local progression divided by the number of patients alive at thee years.

    Measured: three years after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA)

  2. 1-year Overall Survival (OS) Rate

    OS was defined as the time from RFA treatment to death, whatever the cause. If the patient was still alive at the end of study or lost to follow-up, the patient was censored at the date of last news. 1-year overall survival rate was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator.

    Measured: 1 year after RFA

  3. 3-year Overall Survival (OS) Rate

    OS was defined as the time from RFA treatment to death, whatever the cause. If the patient was still alive at the end of study or lost to follow-up, the patient was censored at the date of last news.

    Measured: 3 years after RFA

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in people with Malignant Non-small Cell Neoplasm of Lung Stage Ia, run by Institut Bergonié at 9 sites in France.

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 9 inclusion and 9 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 19 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in France. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Jan 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Local Tumor Control Rate 1 Year After Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) (time frame: one year after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA)). 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 NCT01841060, 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 19 Jan 2021.
