About this study

Official title: Single-POrt Robotic Versus Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery Anatomical Pulmonary Resection for Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (SPORTS Study): a Single-center, Single-blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial

Single-POrt Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery versus single-port video-assisted Thoracic Surgery major pulmonary resection for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (SPORTS trial): a single-center, a single blinded, randomized controlled trial

Read the detailed description

Investigators initially began single-port robotic thoracic surgery using the SP robotic system for simple procedures, such as thymectomy and mediastinal mass excision. As their expertise grew, they expanded to more complex procedures, including major pulmonary resection and esophagectomy. However, the long-term outcomes of SP robotic anatomical pulmonary resection using the SP robotic system have not yet been studied.

The aim of this study is to compare the short-term and long-term outcomes of SP robotic anatomical pulmonary resection using the SP robotic system with those of single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (SP-VATS) anatomical pulmonary resection.

This trial is a single-center, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Participants will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to either single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (SP-VATS) or single-port robotic thoracic surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative complications

    complications will be classified according to Clavien-Dindo classfication

    Measured: Postoperative complications : within 30 days after surgery

  2. Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (EQ-5D-5L) at month 3

    Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (EQ-5D-5L) will be administered at months 3.

    Measured: at month 3 after surgery

  3. Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (EQ-VAS) at month 3

    Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (EQ-5D-5L, EQ-VAS) will be administered at months 3.

    Measured: at month 3 after surgery

  4. Postoperative pain

    Pain levels were assessed and recorded using the VAS score more than three times daily during the hospitalization period.

    Measured: during hospitalization

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (EQ-5D-5L)

    Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (EQ-5D-5L, EQ-VAS) will be administered at 2 weeks before surgery, and at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months, as well as at years 2, 3, 4, and 5 after surgery.

    Measured: At 2 weeks before surgery, and at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months, as well as at years 2, 3, 4, and 5 after surgery.

  2. Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (EQ-VAS)

    Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (EQ-5D-5L, EQ-VAS) will be administered at 2 weeks before surgery, and at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months, as well as at years 2, 3, 4, and 5 after surgery.

    Measured: At 2 weeks before surgery, and at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months, as well as at years 2, 3, 4, and 5 after surgery.

  3. Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (LCQ)

    Questionnaires for HRQOL of life (LCQ) will be administered at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery.

    Measured: at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery.

  4. Perioperative outcomes (Conversion rate)

    Conversion rate = conversion to open thoracotomy / total number of surgery

    Measured: during hospitalization

  5. Perioperative outcomes (number of lymph nodes harvested)

    Total number of lymph nodes harvested during the surgical procedure.

    Measured: during hospitalization

  6. Perioperative outcomes (total operative time)

    the time taken from skin incision to completion of skin closure

    Measured: during hospitalization

  7. Perioperative outcomes (duration of chest tube drainage, postoperative hospital stays)

    duration of chest tube drainage: the time from the date of the operation to the date of chest tube removal

    postoperative hospital stays: the time from the date of the operation to the date of discharge

    Measured: during hospitalization

  8. Perioperative outcomes (transfusion rate)

    The transfusion rate was defined as the percentage of patients who received an allogeneic blood transfusion within 30 days after surgery.

    Measured: within 30 days after surgery.

  9. Perioperative outcomes (estimated blood loss )

    estimated measurement of intraoperative blood loss (ml)

    Measured: during surgery

  10. 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival

    Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from randomization to death. Disease-free survival (DFS) is defined as the time from randomization to recurrence of tumor or death.

    Measured: 5 years

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative complications (time frame: Postoperative complications : within 30 days after surgery). The study lists 4 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?
