About this study

Official title: A Prospective and Multi-center RCT Study of Lymphadenectomy Based on Intraoperative Frozen Pathology for Pulmonary Invasive Adenocarcinoma Presenting With Ground Glass Opacity

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of systematic sampling of lymph nodes vs. lymphadenectomy on outcome according to intraoperative frozen pathology for pulmonary invasive adenocarcinoma with ground-glass opacity (GGO) after VATS lobectomy.

Read the detailed description

On HRCT screening, early lung adenocarcinoma often contains a nonsolid component called ground-glass opacity (GGO). In 2011, pulmonary adenocarcinomas were classified into atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH), adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), minimally invasive carcinoma (MIA) and more extensively invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) [1]. Early adenocarcinomas with GGO-dominant always mean low-grade malignancy and have an extremely favorable prognosis [2-5]. Previous studies have shown that patients with AAH, AIS and MIA have excellent survival rates (5-year survival rate is approximate 95%) after resection, and only 0.83% - 2.91% patients have lymph node metastasis [6-9]. At present, lymphadenectomy is always undergone in patients with pulmonary adenocarcinoma with ground-glass opacity. However, for MIA patients (especially in T1a-b stage), the appropriate use of lymphadenectomy continues to be debated.

Nowadays, intraoperative frozen pathology is widely used during operation. However, whether sampling of lymph nodes or lymphadenectomy should be performed for GGO lesions according to intraoperative pathological diagnosis is unclear. The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate whether there are any trends regarding the impact of subtypes of invasive adenocarcinoma according to intraoperative frozen pathology in sampling of lymph nodes vs. lymphadenectomy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing systematic sampling of the lymph-node and lymphadenectomy in people with Lymph Node Excision, run by Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Shanghai, China at 1 site 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 12 inclusion and 11 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 19 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

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 Chang Chen, M.D. Ph.D. (13816869003, chenthoracic@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

recurrence-free survival (time frame: five years after surgery). 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 NCT03322826, 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 19 Dec 2017.
