Trial summary

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Thoracoscopic pulmonary resection is a prevalent management for early stage of lung cancer. Placement of traditional chest tube is the standard procedure after surgery, which causes pain that cannot be ignored. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Clinical Trial of Modified Versus Traditional Thoracic Drainage After Thoracoscopic Surgery for Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Thoracoscopic pulmonary resection is a prevalent management for early stage of lung cancer. Placement of traditional chest tube is the standard procedure after surgery, which causes pain that cannot be ignored. We aimed to determine whether a modified thoracic drainage strategy based on pigtail catheter associated with better clinical results compared with traditional methods after thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer.

What participants receive

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

  • pigtail catheterProcedure or surgery

    After inserting the chest tube, add a pigtail catheter into the posterior axillary lines of the 7th intercostal.

Study groups in NCT04309955
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
modified thoracic drainage groupExperimentalAfter surgery, both a chest tube and a pigtail catheter are inserted into the middle and posterior axillary lines of the 7th intercostal space, respectively.
Receives: Procedure: pigtail catheter
traditional thoracic drainage groupNo interventionAfter surgery, only a chest tube is inserted into the midaxillary line of the 7th intercostal space, traditionally.

What is being measured

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

  1. Chest tube drainage duration

    The number of days from operation day to the day of chest tube removal

    Measured: From date of operation until the date of chest tube removal, assessed up to 7 days

  2. Volume of drainage

    Total volume of thoracic drainage (ml)

    Measured: From date of operation until the date of removal of the chest tube and pigtail catheter, assessed up to 7 days.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Postoperative hospital stay

    The numbers of days of patients stay in the hospital after surgery

    Measured: From date of operation until the date of hospital discharge, assessed up to 30 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pigtail catheter in people with Lung Neoplasms and Lung Cancer, run by Daping Hospital and the Research Institute of Surgery of the Third Military Medical University 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 4 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 18 Mar 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?

Contact Li Kun, MD (15023072303, soloonline1981@yeah.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Chest tube drainage duration (time frame: From date of operation until the date of chest tube removal, assessed up to 7 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 18 Mar 2020.
