About this study

Official title: Endoscopic Follow-up of Low Grade Precancerous Bronchial Lesions in High Risk Patients (SELEPREBB1)

The goal of this multicentric French randomized trial is to determine the best auto fluorescence bronchial endoscopic follow-up strategy in high risk patients bearing low grade bronchial precancerous lesions. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the following arm :

(A) every 6 months clinical and chest Xrays follow-up without intermediate endoscopy, (B) every 6 months clinical and chest Xrays follow-up including repeated autofluorescence endoscopy and biopsies on a 6 months basis in case of low grade dysplasia or on a one year basis in patients without dysplasia.

After 36 months follow-up, each patient from the two groups will be subjected to a final autofluorescence endoscopy and biopsy and a Spiral Chest Xray.

The final analysis will compare between the two groups :

  1. The probability of progression from an initially identified low grade lesion to a high grade lesion
  2. The probability of respiratory epithelial tract progression assessed by the occurrence of a lung cancer or high grade lesion.
  3. The characteristics of lung cancers detected in each arm
  4. In both arm, the influence of risk factors and persistent exposure to tobacco on lesion evolutivity.
Read the detailed description

The goal of this multicentric French randomized trial is to determine the best auto fluorescence bronchial endoscopic follow-up strategy in high risk patients bearing low grade bronchial precancerous lesions. This Trial compares two follow-up modalities : observation without endoscopy for a three year period (group A " light " follow-up), versus repeated autofluorescence endoscopies and biopsies every six months for three years (group B " intensive ").

Methods: 300 subjects at high risk for lung cancer will be included over a two year period and followed-up for three years. In each subject an auto-fluorescence endoscopy and a Chest CT scan will be performed before the enrollment into the trial. To be included the subject must present with an initial Chest CT scan not suspicious for lung cancer and bronchial biopsy showing a moderate dysplasia or a lower grade lesion.

Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the following arm :

(A) every 6 months clinical and chest Xrays follow-up without intermediate endoscopy, (B) every 6 months clinical and chest Xrays follow-up including repeated autofluorescence endoscopy and biopsies on a 6 months basis in case of low grade dysplasia or on a one year basis in patients without dysplasia.

Stratifications factors for randomization are: Center, occupational exposure to respiratory carcinogens, presence of a bronchial low dysplastic lesion versus absence of dysplasia.

Bronchial biopsies samples will be centrally reviewed by a panel of Pathologists.

After 36 months follow-up, each patient from the two groups will be subjected to a final autofluorescence endoscopy and biopsy and a Spiral Chest Xray.

The final analysis will compare between the two groups :

  1. The probability of progression from an initially identified low grade lesion to a high grade lesion
  2. The probability of respiratory epithelial tract progression assessed by the occurrence of a lung cancer or high grade lesion.
  3. The characteristics of lung cancers detected in each arm
  4. In both arm, the influence of risk factors and persistent exposure to tobacco on lesion evolutivity.

First inclusion into the trial : July 2002, End of recruitment December 2005, End of follow- up : december 2008.

An ancillary study analysing the performances of fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy has been started in december 2005 after IRB/ethical comity approval. This ancillary study is only performed at the Rouen University Hospital Center.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Precancerous Conditions and Thoracic Neoplasms, run by University Hospital, Rouen at 1 site in France.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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 18 Jan 2013. 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 France. 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?

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?

occurence of high grade lesion or occurence of a cancer during endoscopic or clinical follow up (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT00213603, which also lists 3 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 18 Jan 2013.
