About this study

Official title: Randomised Evaluation of Stents to Open Restricted Airways in Patients With Centrally Placed Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (RESTORE-AIR)

To investigate whether the use of airways stents (metal tubes to open and keep open narrowed airways) together with the standard treatment increases the proportion of patients who can complete a 6min walking distance (6MWD) test at 2 weeks +/- 2days in patients with breathlessness due to lung cancer, when compared to standard treatment alone.

Being tested
Arterial puncture, Venepuncture, General anaesthetic, Inpatient stays, Walking test
Keywords

Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, Airway Obstruction

What participants receive

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

  • Arterial punctureOther

    Patients will undergo arterial blood gas sampling from the radial artery. This will be done by experienced doctors who are highly skilled in this procedure.

  • VenepunctureOther

    Blood samples for baseline biochemistry, full blood count, and clotting screen will be taken. In patients additionally providing optional consent blood will be taken for laboratory based basic science research into lung cancer carcinogenesis and pharmacogenetics. Blood will be taken by qualified and experienced nurses, doctors and phlebotomists.

  • General anaestheticProcedure or surgery

    Patients randomised into the stenting arm will undergo rigid bronchoscopy under general anaesthetic.

  • Inpatient staysProcedure or surgery

    Patients randomised into the stenting arm will be admitted overnight for the procedure

  • Walking testOther

    All patients will be asked to complete a 6 minute walking test at baseline and on day 15. Patients randomised into the stent arm (Arm A) will complete a further 6 minute walking test at 24 hours post-stent

  • Spirometry & flow volume loop assessmentOther

    All patients will undergo spirometry and flow volume loop assessments at baseline and on day 15.

  • Biopsy materialOther

    For patients randomised to stenting and giving additional voluntary consent, 2 pairs of biopsies of tumour tissue, and 1 pair of biopsies of normal airways tissue will be taken for basic scientific research into lung cancer carcinogenesis, and pharmacogenetics.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint of the study is the proportion of patients achieving a 50% improvement in the distance walked after 2 weeks +/- 2 days of treatment as compared to their pre-treatment assessment.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. To compare arterial blood gases (oxygenation of blood) from baseline to 2 weeks +/- 2 days in the stented group, compared with the standard treatment group.

  2. To compare lung function tests from baseline to 2 weeks +/- 2 days in the stented group, compared with the standard treatment group.

  3. To compare other symptoms such as anxiety and breathlessness, as measured by standard scales (e.g. VAS, Borg scales) from baseline to 2 weeks +/- 2 days in the stented group, compared with the standard treatment group

  4. To measure quality of life with standard questionnaires

  5. To compare survival rates at 6 months and 1 year between the stented group and standard treatment group

  6. To document any subsequent treatments given to patients in each group

  7. To establish the feasibility of collecting fresh and formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tumour and normal bronchial tissue, and germ-line DNA for future research into NSCLC carcinogenesis and corollary translational work

  8. Formal objective response assessment is not required at 3 months, but where this is possible, this will be described

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Arterial puncture, Venepuncture and General anaesthetic in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 28 Oct 2009. 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 United Kingdom. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Dr Mary O'Brien (02086613278, mary.o'brien@rmh.nhs.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary endpoint of the study is the proportion of patients achieving a 50% improvement in the distance walked after 2 weeks +/- 2 days of treatment as compared to their pre-treatment assessment.. 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 28 Oct 2009.
