About this study
Official title: Patient Journey, Clinical and Epidemiological Characterization, Health Resource Utilization and Biomarkers in Early-stage Lung Cancer in Colombia
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer incidence and mortality worldwide as it is for highand middle-income countries. A major decline in lung cancer incidence and mortality might be mainly due to the reduction on tobacco smoking prevalence since survival rates has not significantly improved despite the advances in diagnosis and treatment. Lung cancer is broadly classified into two categories, based on the type of tumor cells: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Among them, is the most frequent type and is subdivided into histological types: Adenocarcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung arge cells carcinoma. Additional biological complexity has been uncovered through intense research in recent years, including different molecular subtypes with specific targetable characteristics. Diagnosing cancer at early stages (I or II) is critical as it may offer patients a better prognosis in terms of overall survival )for instance, patients diagnosed at stage IA have a 5- year survival rate higher than 80%, compared to less than 10% for those diagnosed at stage IV ostly because the possibility for most patients to undergo surgery or radiotherapy, as potentially curative interventions. A study among resectable lung cancer in Colombia found overall 3-year survival for patients with and without relapse 78% and 96%, respectively Early-stage may have a considerable recurrence rate despite of opportune and complete resections and the Colombian study found stage II (T3 and N1 as independent factors) and pleura invasion associated with a higher risk of recurrence.
Read the detailed description
Cancer is a high-cost disease that generates an important economic impact on healthcare systems. It is possible that system fragmentation can potentially be associated to poorer outcomes for these patients. Colombia has an individual insurance-based system with two affiliation regimes:
- contributory regimen based in a payroll system covering all individuals with payment capacity and their relatives
- subsidized regimen aimed at individuals without payment capacity. Currently, the insurance coverage is over 99% in the country. The insurance is publicly funded but administered by health insurance companies, most of them private. There is freedom of choice for the insurer, but the health insurance companies define the network of health care providers for their affiliates. Available data indicates significant disparities in lung cancer mortality by socioeconomic condition in Colombia . In addition, a recent report shows that lung cancer imposes a significant economic burden on the Colombian health system and the reported costs of lung cancer care are lower in the subsidized regimen, suggesting relevant differences in patterns of cancer care between insurance regimes despite all patients are entitled to a unique health benefit package Furthermore, some reports show how the fragmentation of cancer care even within the same affiliation regimen is frequent in Colombia having effect on timeliness and quality of medical care and leading to poor health outcomes and the need of additional lines of treatment with associated higher cost as in the case of cancer care. Indeed, it has been demonstrated that early detection efforts and screening campaigns can have a positive pharmacoeconomic effect, mostly in association with the possibility to offer potentially curative interventions. Furthermore, integrated management of patients leads to improved overall survival However, we currently do not have local data to eventually support health system interventions around these measures, particularly in Early-Stages .

Medical chart review will be performed in patients with resectable stageOther
The study will focus on patients with a new diagnosis of resectable stage IA, IB, II, IIIA, and IIIB non-small cell lung cancer diagnosed between January 2017 and December 2023. Data collection will be organized into three specific time periods: first, the index period, which will consist of confirmed diagnosis patients from January 2017 to December 2023; second, the prediagnosis period, defined as 18 months prior to the index period, this is from July 2015 to January 2017; and lastly, a follow-up period that will allow a minimum duration of six months. As a result, the data cutoff date for this study will be set for June 2024.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Hospital Universitario San Ignacio at 1 site in Colombia.
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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2026. 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 Colombia. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Raúl Murillo, Dr (+57 (601) 5946161 ext. 5975, rmurillo@husi.org.co), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
patients with resectable stages (time frame: 15 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT07703631, which also lists 4 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.
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 14 Jul 2026.
