About this study

Official title: An Observational Study of Novel Survival Prediction Algorithm as Clinical Decision Support for Patients With Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Spinal Metastasis

The purpose of this study is to learn whether our own made predictive algorithm can be used as a clinical practical decision support for patients with NSCLC spinal metastasis. The scoring system consists of the use of EGFR-TKI, KPS, Age, SCC, CA125 and smoking history. By predicting survival doctors could determine which patients are suitable for palliative therapy.

Read the detailed description

Investigators have performed a retrospective study on 176 patients with NSCLC spinal metastasis under the oversight of hospital's ethics committee, and investigators found that the use of EGFR-TKI, KPS, Age, SCC, CA125 and smoking history had significant association with survival. Then investigators built a simple, easy to use scoring system based on the features mentioned above. The score was calculated as 1 (for patients didn't receive EGFR-TKI), +2 (for KPS <50%), +1 (for KPS 50-70%), +1 (Age >60years), 2 (SCC ≥1.5ng/ml), +3 (CA125 ≥35 U/ml), +1 (smoking history 1-10/day), +2 (smoking history >10/day), and 0 otherwise. This algorithm was used to divide the patients into low risk (0-3), intermediate risk (4-6), high risk groups (7-10) to predict survival and determine which patients are suitable for palliative therapy. Now investigators wish to register this study to do a further research, in order to verify the accuracy and sensitivity of this algorithm.

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

Study groups in NCT03363685
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Low riskFor NSCLC spinal metastasis patients with 0-3 of novel survival prediction algorithm.
Intermediate riskFor NSCLC spinal metastasis patients with 4-6 of novel survival prediction algorithm.
High riskFor NSCLC spinal metastasis patients with 7-10 of novel survival prediction algorithm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Survival

    Accuracy and sensitivity of novel survival prediction algorithm derived from differences between the predicted and actual survival of NSCLC spinal metastasis patients from 3 different risk groups.

    Measured: Every 6 months from date of diagnosis of NSCLC spinal metastasis until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Primary and Metastatic Lesions

    Differences in the primary and metastatic lesions after therapy according to NCCN suggestion of NSCLC spinal metastasis patients from 3 different risk groups.

    Measured: Every 6 months from date of diagnosis of NSCLC spinal metastasis until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years

  2. Serum Markers

    Differences in the serum markers after therapy according to NCCN suggestion of NSCLC spinal metastasis patients from 3 different risk groups.

    Measured: Every 6 months from date of diagnosis of NSCLC spinal metastasis until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years

  3. Visceral Metastasis

    The correlation between visceral metastasis and overall survival (OS) of NSCLC spinal metastasis patients

    Measured: Every 6 months from date of diagnosis of NSCLC spinal metastasis until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years

  4. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    Assessment of pain level (1-10, higher value represents more pain)

    Measured: Every 6 months from date of diagnosis of NSCLC spinal metastasis until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years

  5. Ambulatory Status

    Assessment of walking ability

    Measured: Every 6 months from date of diagnosis of NSCLC spinal metastasis until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years

  6. EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ) Bone metastasis (BM) 22,

    Assessment of quality of life (22-88, higher value represents worse quality of life)

    Measured: Every 6 months from date of diagnosis of NSCLC spinal metastasis until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years

  7. Modified Frankel grade

    Assessment of neurological function (A-E, higher value represents better function)

    Measured: Every 6 months from date of diagnosis of NSCLC spinal metastasis until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years

  8. The Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS)

    Assessment of spinal instability (0-18, higher value represents worse instability)

    Measured: Every 6 months from date of diagnosis of NSCLC spinal metastasis until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spinal Metastases and Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Metastatic, run by Ruijin Hospital 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 8 Oct 2020. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival (time frame: Every 6 months from date of diagnosis of NSCLC spinal metastasis until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 3 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 NCT03363685, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Oct 2020.
