About this study

This study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of LuCaS Choices, a web-based decision aid designed to facilitate informed decision making about participation in lung cancer screening among individuals at high risk of lung cancer due to heavy cigarette smoking.

Read the detailed description

The proposed project will develop an innovative web-based decision aid (DA) to improve decision making for lung cancer screening (LCS) among individuals at high risk for lung cancer due to cigarette smoking. Recent National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) data demonstrated a 20% relative reduction in lung cancer mortality for low dose computed tomography screening as compared to chest X-ray among individuals at high lung cancer risk. Given that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States with an estimated 160,340 deaths predicted for 2012, the new data have reinvigorated interest in LCS. However, LCS carries substantial risks including a high false positive rate, over-diagnosis, adverse psychosocial consequences, and increased radiation exposure. Further, it is unknown whether LCS would reduce lung cancer mortality among individuals who smoke but do not meet NLST eligibility criteria. Therefore, there is currently no clear best choice for whether a given individual should be screened or not. Decisions about participating in LCS should be well informed and consistent with individual preferences. However, previous data indicate that individuals who do undergo LCS rarely have a thorough understanding of the risks or benefits.

To address this rapidly emerging public health challenge, this research has developed a web-based decision aid (DA) to facilitate informed decision making regarding LCS in individuals at high risk for lung cancer (i.e., cigarette smokers), and will assess feasibility of DA administration and proposed methods for conducting a future randomized clinical trial (RCT) of DA effectiveness. The content of the DA will be based on the investigators previous studies exploring LCS decision making and other recent research.

The specific aim of the currently proposed research are to conduct a feasibility trial of the DA among individuals at high risk of lung cancer due to heavy cigarette smoking. Investigators will recruit participants to assess feasibility of: 1) delivering the DA intervention in a community setting, and 2) conducting research procedures and assessment tools as planned for a future RCT.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing LuCaS Decision Aid and NCI Website in people with Lung Neoplasms, run by Jamie Studts at 2 sites in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 1 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 3 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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 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?

Access Rate POST (time frame: Two Weeks (POST)). The study lists 6 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 3 Apr 2019.
