About this study

Screening with the use of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) reduces mortality from lung cancer. Relatives with family history of lung cancer are at increased risk of lung cancer compared to those without a family history in pooled analysis. A prospective trial using LDCT of lung to screen the relatives with family history of lung cancer is needed.

Read the detailed description

Investigators invited participants with family history to join in this study under the criteria of (1) relatives of the lung cancer patients; (2) age older than 55 years old or age older than the age of onset of lung cancer proband if the family members were less than 55 years old; (3) compulsory signing the consent agreement after understanding the purpose of study and the exposure of radiation. The participants with (1) proved lung cancer either with or without treatment, (2) presence of hemoptysis or history of remarkable lung fibrosis, (3) any other cancer history or (4) chest CT examination within one year would be excluded from the study.

The study was planned to enroll 1000 participants from simplex families and 500 participants from multiplex families for lung LDCT screening. Multiplex family was defined as two or more family members with lung cancers, and simplex family as one family member with lung cancer.

What participants receive

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

  • low dose computed tomographyDevice

    Participants will receive 3 round of low dose computed tomography screening every year

Study groups in NCT02519972
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Low dose computed tomographyExperimentalAll the Low dose computed tomography of lung was performed with 64 slices multidetectors CT in single hold breath covering entire lung. The protocol of scanning parameters (120KVp, 40-80 mA, 1.25 mm or less in thickness) was standardized. The raw data would be reconstructed to axial images (3 mm thickness and interval) and coronal images (3 mm thickness and interval). The scan should be finished in a single breath (15-20 second) from the thoracic inlet to adrenal glands.
Receives: Device: low dose computed tomography

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with lung cancer detected by low dose computed tomography

    Measured: three years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Detection rate of early lung cancer

    Measured: three years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing low dose computed tomography in people with Lung Cancer, run by Taichung Veterans General Hospital.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 11 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

Number of participants with lung cancer detected by low dose computed tomography (time frame: three years). 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 NCT02519972, which also lists 11 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 11 Aug 2015.
