Trial summary

Lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer related mortality. Among them, non small cell lung cancer accounts for 85%. Only part of patients could be treated with radical surgery, and some patients were unfit for surgery due to the poor cardio-pulmonary function or refuse surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer related mortality. Among them, non small cell lung cancer accounts for 85%. Only part of patients could be treated with radical surgery, and some patients were unfit for surgery due to the poor cardio-pulmonary function or refuse surgery. For those patients, microwave ablation (MWA) could be an alternative treatment. Several small sample retrospective studies verified that MWA could be an efficacy and safe treatment.

Read the detailed description

Patients with stage I non small cell lung cancer unfit for or refused surgery will be treated with MWA in the primary tumor sites.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
microwave ablationExperimentalThe procedure is performed similar to a needle biopsy of the lung, under CT guidance. Placement of the needle-electrode is similar to needle placement for CT-guided biopsy. Appropriate positioning of the microwave ablation antenna is confirmed by CT imaging.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing microwave ablation in people with Stage I NSCLC, run by Shandong Provincial Hospital at 2 sites 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 10 inclusion and 6 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 14 Jun 2017. 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 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Xin Ye, M.D (+8615168887755, yexintaian2014@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall survival (time frame: From the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause,assessed up to 36 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 14 Jun 2017.
