Trial summary

Persistent smoking after lung cancer has been the subject of medical, therapeutic and epidemiological publications for twenty years of research. Continued persistent smoking is all the more a problem for oncologists as there is evidence that smoking cessation, with lung cancer, gives therapeutic benefit. Read more about this study

About this study

Persistent smoking after lung cancer has been the subject of medical, therapeutic and epidemiological publications for twenty years of research. Continued persistent smoking is all the more a problem for oncologists as there is evidence that smoking cessation, with lung cancer, gives therapeutic benefit. Quitting smoking can improve the response to treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery), quality of life and overall survival. However many patients refuse adhesion to tobacco cessation. Daily practice leads us to the hypothesis that adhesion differences aren't related to the denial of medical information, nor to resignation or to nicotine dependence. Patients who continue smoking seem to face a form of impossibility to wean. Cigarette seems to be felt as a part of their body in their narration and description of their body image.

What is being measured

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

  1. Composite indicator variable indicating the presence or absence of disturbance in one or more of the parameters evaluated: object relations, body, subject's choice.

    The results will be obtained:

    • From the results of each test, each has indeed a standardized rating scale
    • By analysing the content of the speech of the patient previously noted during the various interviews The investigator will classify each subject in "disturbance" or not for each of the three parameters. The presence of at least one disturbance gives the "yes" value in the indicator variable, "no" in the absence of the three disturbances.

    Measured: 2 months after inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Smoking Cessation and Lung Cancer, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 1 site 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 10 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Composite indicator variable indicating the presence or absence of disturbance in one or more of the parameters evaluated: object relations, body, subject's choice. (time frame: 2 months after inclusion). The study lists 2 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 9 Jun 2016.
