About this study

Official title: Phase 3 Multicentric Randomized Study Assessing Self-reported Symptoms Transmitted Via an Internet Web-application " Sentinel " Versus Conventional Follow-up in Patients With High Risk Lung Cancer (SENTINEL)

This is a study that evaluates an optimization of the monitoring of patients with lung cancer in order to extend the survival of patients by improving their quality of life and decreasing anxiety generated by the achievement of balance sheets imaging. The spacing of the follow-up imaging also helps to reduce the cost of such monitoring. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the overall survival of patients.

Read the detailed description

With a 5-year survival of about 15% pulmonary cancer is very poor prognosis. About 70 to 75% of cancers are diagnosed at advanced stages. Relapses are common and rarely curable. At least 75% of relapses are symptomatic and there is no standard monitoring after curative treatment or not. Currently, the most common monitoring strategy involves the completion of a clinical examination every 3 to 6 months associated with chest X-ray or CT-scan.

An intensive clinical and imaging monitoring has not yet shown any survival advantage but monitoring of symptoms appears to have a significant medical and economic advantage compared to imaging monitoring. This non-personalized approach is a source of anxiety for patients, especially with the approach of the date of the imaging assessment. In contrast, this monitoring can leave symptomatic patients with untreated relapse for several weeks because many symptomatic patients wait the date of the imaging assessment to consult.

the investigators have developed a score based on the dynamics and the association of clinical signs to alert the physician to a possible recurrence of lung cancer. The referring physician is alerted so early and convenes the patient for a checkup. One of the explanations which could demonstrate the gain in survival is the possibility offered by the application SENTINEL is to treat the relapses earlier, thus avoiding to wait a too much important deterioration of general condition between two monitoring follow-up more or less spaced.

  • Monitoring by SENTINEL applicationOther

    Also called new technology

    Patients will connect once a week to SENTINEL application to do a self-evaluation of several symptoms. A CT- scan will be scheduled only when there is an alert of the application

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival is defined as the period between the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. We will also evaluate in this context the overall survival defined between the date of diagnosis and date of death whatever the cause in order to know more precisely the duration of the disease.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Quality of Life (QOL)

    The quality of life will be studied using the questionnaire FACT-L at baseline and follow-up visits at 3, 6 and 12 months.

    Measured: 12 month

  2. Depression

    Patient's depression will be assessed through the questionnaire HUMEUR PHQ9 at baseline and follow-ups at 3, 6 and 12 months.

    Measured: 12 month

  3. Relapse detection time

    The relapse detection time is defined as time from the date of diagnosis to the date of highlighting of the recurrence by imaging

    Measured: 24 month

  4. Performance Status (PS)

    Performance Status will be evaluated according to WHO recommendations.

    Measured: 24 month

  5. Cost of monitoring

    The cost of monitoring will be evaluated from the perspective of health insurance.

    Measured: 24 month

  6. Patient compliance

    Patient compliance to the use of SENTINEL application will be evaluated according to the number of assessments completed (usually 1 per week) compared to the theoretical maximum number filling weekly and monthly the application over time.

    Measured: 24 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Monitoring by SENTINEL application in people with Lung Cancer, run by Weprom 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 16 inclusion and 7 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 29 Jun 2020. 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.

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?

Overall Survival (OS) (time frame: 24 months). 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 29 Jun 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
