Trial summary

Imaging procedures including chest X-ray and low-dose computed tomography may be effective in lung cancer early detection. Yet it is unknown whether low-dose computed tomography combined with computer aided detection (CAD) is more effective than LDCT in screening of early lung cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Screening and Diagnosing for Early Lung Cancer in Shanghai Communities With Imaging Procedures

Imaging procedures including chest X-ray and low-dose computed tomography may be effective in lung cancer early detection. Yet it is unknown whether low-dose computed tomography combined with computer aided detection (CAD) is more effective than LDCT in screening of early lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

The randomized clinical trial is to investigate and compare the effectiveness of CAD-guided low-dose computed tomography and low-dose computed tomography in lung cancer screening for community individuals in Shanghai, China. Thus, an imaging protocol which can detect early lung cancer in asymptomatic high risk patients will be proposed.

What participants receive

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

  • Observer nodule detectionBehavioural

    Radiologists will detect the nodules.

  • Computer-aided nodule detectionDevice

    Computed-aided detection (CAD) software will be used to detect the nodules.

Study groups in NCT02185495
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
High-risk individualsExperimentalThe elder and heavy smokers, which are high-risk individuals for early lung cancer. These subjects will be examined using "Observer nodule detection" and " Computer-aided nodule detection".
Receives: Behavioral: Observer nodule detection; Device: Computer-aided nodule detection

What is being measured

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

  1. The sensitivities of low-dose computed tomography and low-dose computed tomography with computer aided detection in detecting early lung cancer

    A questionaire will be recorded for each subject, including demographics, smoking history and disease history, etc. If a pulmonary nodule was found, the location, shape, size, margin and density will be recorded.

    A subject with a suspected malignant nodule, which was detected either by a radiologist or computed-aiding detection software, will refer to a physician for further management.

    Finally, the sensitivities of radiologist or software detection will be calculated.

    Measured: 24months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The false positive rates between low-dose computed tomography and low-dose computed tomography with computer aided detection will be compared

    Measured: 24months

  2. Nodule detection rate

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Observer nodule detection and Computer-aided nodule detection in people with Lung Cancer, run by Shanghai Changzheng Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Dec 2014. 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 China. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shiyuan Liu, MD (+86-13761304518, cjr.liushiyuan@vip.163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The sensitivities of low-dose computed tomography and low-dose computed tomography with computer aided detection in detecting early lung cancer (time frame: 24months). 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 18 Dec 2014.
