About this study

Official title: A Trial to Study the Effectiveness of Smoking Cessation in the Surgical Pathway Before Major Lung Surgery: Project MURRAY Feasibility Study

This is a feasibility study of a personalised, integrated smoking cessation in the surgical pathway in patients undergoing major elective thoracic surgery when compared to usual care of standard community/hospital based NHS smoking cessation. Half the patients will receive the intervention and half the patients will receive usual care.

Read the detailed description

Smoking prior to major thoracic surgery is a major risk factor for development of postoperative complications which effect both short and long-term outcome. Despite this 1 in 5 patients continue to smoke before their operation.

Project MURRAY is a trial comparing the effectiveness of personalised integrated smoking cessation delivered by trained health-care practitioners in the thoracic surgical pathway, and is a three part package of behaviour interventions and pharmacotherapy as per National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE)/ National Centre for Smoking Cessation Training (NCSCT) guidance which is supported by an adjunct web-based application. This is a pilot study to evaluate feasibility of a substantive trial and study processes in 5 adult thoracic centres including the trial coordinating site at the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. This is a multicentre feasibility study, with aim for equal weighting between the two arms of the integrated smoking cessation and an observation only group of usual care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recruitment

    To establish the number of patients who agree to participate in the intervention as a proportion of those eligible to enter the study

    Measured: 0 days from recruitment

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Integration of intervention

    Integration of the intervention into the clinical pathway by time from decision to operate from study recruitment

    Measured: 0 days from recruitment, 1 day or surgery

  2. Barriers to recruitment

    Descriptive reasons for non-participation from screening logs

    Measured: 0 days from recruitment

  3. Fine tune procedures and data capture forms

    To pilot data capture forms aiming for over 90% completion of important perioperative data for each patient

    Measured: 0 days from recruitment, 1 day of surgery, 1 month after surgery

  4. Smoking cessation in the intervention group

    To assess the proportion of patients who receive the intervention who have quit smoking

    Measured: 1 day of surgery, 1 month after surgery

  5. Smoking cessation in the usual care group

    To assess the proportion of patients in an observation only usual care group who have quit smoking

    Measured: 1 day of surgery, 1 month after surgery

  6. Variability of smoking cessation practices

    To define the variability of smoking cessation practices in all patients using the nicotine replacement usage questionnaire

    Measured: 0 days from recruitment, 1 day of surgery, 1 month after surgery

  7. Qualitative interview

    To understand patients' experience of and engagement with the intervention, and any unintended consequences

    To establish whether the intervention is acceptable to thoracic surgery patients and staff, and investigate recommendations for optimisation in intervention delivery

    Measured: 1 month after surgery

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 6 Jan 2020.
