About this study

The purpose of this study is to establish the effects of VATS lobectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.

The aims of this study are:

  1. To evaluate the early clinical benefits of VATS lobectomy when compared with the axillary thoracotomy.
  2. To evaluate the late effects of VATS lobectomy on survival and quality of life when compared with axillary thoracotomy.
  3. To establish the normative pattern of VATS lobectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.
  4. To explore the indication of VATS lobectomy for the lung cancer.
Being tested
video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, axillary thoracotomy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and axillary thoracotomy in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 9 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 Feb 2018. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Disease-free survival and overall survival (time frame: 5 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 NCT01102517, which also lists 2 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 28 Feb 2018.
