About this study

Official title: Application of Machine Learning Algorithms to Identify Optimal Candidates for Primary Tumor Resection in Patients with Metastatic Non-small Cell Neuroendocrine Tumors: Propensity Score Matching

This study was based on public use data from the SEER database. The study did not require informed consent from the SEER registered cases, and the authors obtained Limited-Use Data Agreements from SEER.

Read the detailed description

This study utilized publicly available data from the SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) database, which is a comprehensive source of information on cancer statistics in the United States. The authors did not need to obtain informed consent from individuals whose cases are registered in the SEER database because the data is anonymized and is meant for public use. Instead, the authors acquired Limited-Use Data Agreements with SEER, which are legal contracts that allow researchers to access and use specific datasets under certain conditions while ensuring that the privacy of the individuals in the database is maintained. This agreement outlines the terms of data use, ensuring that the researchers adhere to guidelines for the ethical handling of data while still enabling them to conduct their research.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival

    Overall survival refers to the duration of time from the start of diagnosis until death from any cause. It is a common endpoint used in clinical trials and medical research, particularly in oncology, to measure the effectiveness of a treatment or intervention. Overall survival provides a comprehensive picture of how well patients are doing and is often expressed as a percentage or a median time (e.g., the median overall survival time).

    Measured: The estimated time period for assessing events was January 2000 through December 2021. It is the time from random assignment to death from any cause (last follow-up for lost patients; end of follow-up for patients still alive at the end of the study).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer - Non Small Cell, run by Hongquan Xing.

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 2 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 1 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Overall survival (time frame: The estimated time period for assessing events was January 2000 through December 2021. It is the time from random assignment to death from any cause (last follow-up for lost patients; end of follow-up for patients still alive at the end of the study).). 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 1 Oct 2024.
