About this study

Official title: The Impact of Physical Activity on the Postoperative Symptoms, Complications, and Quality of Life Among Lung Cancer Survivors: A Prospective Cohort Study

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of physical activity on the postoperative symptoms, complication, and quality of life.

Read the detailed description

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) survivor is increasing as developing early diagnosis and perioperative management. Despite multidisciplinary treatment, Surgery is the primary treatment option for cure in NSCLC. The patients with lung cancer who underwent surgery have limitation of pulmonary function and high risk of co-morbidities. Perioperative physical activity has been shown to reduce symptoms and prevent complications, improve long term quality of life after surgery. But validated exercise regimen has not been established for lung cancer patients. Therefore, Evidence-based guideline focusing on lung cancer after surgery is needed.

What is being measured

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

  1. The change of quality of life: (EORTC QLQ) core30 (C30)

    The change of quality of life is measured using the European Organization for Research Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ) core30 (C30). The scale for quality of life is transformed into a score from 0 to 100, derived by 4-point Likert scale. A higher score represents a higher level of quality of life.

    Measured: Before surgery (baseline), and 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Postoperative pulmonary complications

    Incidence of pulmonary complications including air leak, atelectasis, pleural effusion, pneumonia, etc.

    Measured: Within 30 days after surgery

  2. The change of symptom

    The change of symptom is measured using the European Organization for Research Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ) lung cancer module 13 (LC13). The scale for symptom is transformed into a score from 0 to 100, derived by 4-point Likert scale. A higher score represents a higher level of symptom.

    Measured: Before surgery (baseline), and 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months after surgery

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 change of quality of life: (EORTC QLQ) core30 (C30) (time frame: Before surgery (baseline), and 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months 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 NCT03705546, which also lists 3 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.
