About this study

Official title: Medicoeconomic Analysis of Lobectomy Using Thoracoscopy vs Thoracotomy for Lung Cancer: a Multicentric Randomized Controlled Trial.

This is a national study that involves the participation of 600 lung cancer patients indicated that treatment is ablation of the pulmonary lobe. This technique is called lobectomy.

Lobectomy may be performed in two different ways:

Read more
  • Thoracotomy, which is the first reference approach and that is to make a large incision in the chest to pass between the ribs and spread the order to ablate the lobe.
  • By video-thoracoscopy, which is a new surgical approach consisting in practice several small incisions in the chest wall to allow the introduction of a camera and special instruments to ablate the lobe.

The mini-invasive nature of video-thoracoscopy has a positive impact on postoperative expectoration and ventilation. As a result, the incidence of postoperative respiratory complications including atelectasis, pneumonia and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is reduced. These respiratory complications are responsible for prolonged stays in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and overall hospitalisation. It also has an impact on recovery and quality of life when patients return home. The reduction in the incidence of complications should counterbalance the additional cost of video-thoracoscopy.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these two techniques in relation to the quality of life and the costs they generate.

Patients who agree to participate in the study were assigned to one or other of these groups (technical thoracotomy or video-thoracoscopy technique) by lot.

What is being measured

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

  1. The postoperative respiratory complications

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

  2. An incremental cost-utility ratio associated with the use of Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery when compared with thoracotomy evaluated using the quality of life questionnary EQ-5D

    Measured: 3 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Video-thoracoscopy and thoracotomy in people with Lung Cancer and Lobectomy, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon at 10 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 6 inclusion and 21 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: lack of inclusions). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The postoperative respiratory complications (time frame: 30 days after surgery). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02502318, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Jan 2024.
