About this study

Official title: Is Bone Scintigraphy Necessary in cT1N0M0 GGO Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer?

This is a clinical trial from Eastern Cooperative Thoracic Oncology Project (ECTOP), numbered as ECTOP-1006. In this prospective one-arm observational study, bone scintigraphy will be performed in T1N0M0 NSCLC patients with GGO lesion and other low risk factors of bone metastasis. The occurrence rate of bone metastasis in these patients will be analyzed to evaluate the necessity of bone scintigraphy in cT1N0M0 NSCLC patients.

Read the detailed description

Skeletal is a common metastatic site in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The incidence of bone metastases is about 20-30% in NSCLC patients. According to the NCCN guidelines, early lung cancer patients should also undergo bone scan or PETCT before surgery to determine the presence of bone metastases. However, all of the above methods use radionuclide reagents as tracers, which pose health hazards to patients and their contacts, including medical personnel. A retrospective study conducted by our center showed that only 0.95% of patients with cT1N0M0 non-small cell lung cancer had preoperative bone metastases. In patients with early stage lung cancer whose lesions are pure ground glass nodules, the probability of developing bone metastases is zero. The low risk factors for bone metastases from this retrospective study included preoperative examination of patients with CEA <5 ng/ul and no bone-related symptoms. In patients with primary NSCLC who underwent CEA <5 ng/ul preoperatively, no bone metastases occurred; in patients with negative bone-related symptoms, the incidence of bone metastases was only 0.18%. In the case of such patients, if the bone scan is performed, not only the potential damage to the patient is increased, but also the waste of medical resources and the burden on the patient from the perspective of health economics.

Therefore, our center is expected to conduct this prospective one-arm observational clinical trial. According to the low-risk factors derived from retrospective studies, bone scintigraphy was performed in patients with GGO lesion and other low risk factors of bone metastasis, and the incidence of bone metastasis was obtained. The necessity of bone scintigraphy in cT1N0M0 NSCLC patients would be evaluated.

This trial is recognizes in our institute as "Eastern Cooperative Thoracic Oncology Project (ECTOP-1006)"

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone Metastases, run by Fudan University at 5 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 7 inclusion and 2 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 20 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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.

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?

The Occurrence Rate of Bone metastasis in cT1N0M0 NSCLC patients (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT03689439, 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 20 Jul 2023.
