About this study

The aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of cryosurgery plus NK immunotherapy to advanced NSCLC.

Read the detailed description

By enrolling patients with NSCLC adapted to enrolled criteria, this study will document for the first time the safety and the short and long term efficacy of the combined therapy using cryosurgery and nature killer (NK) cells for NSCLC.

The safety will be evaluated by statistics of adverse reactions. The efficacy will be evaluated according to local relief degree, progress free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Being tested
Cryosurgery, NK Immunotherapy
Keywords
Non-small cell lung cancer, Cryosurgery, NK Immunotherapy
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • CryosurgeryDevice

    Argon-helium cryosurgical system (percutaneous ablation under CT or ultrasound guidance)

  • NK ImmunotherapyBiological

    Natural killer cell (each treatment: about 10 billion cells transfusion in 3 times, i.v.)

Study groups in NCT02843815
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cryosurgery and NK immunotherapyExperimentalIn this group, the patients will receive comprehensive cryosurgery first to destroy all big tumors, then receive multiple NK immunotherapy (intensive treatment: 6 times in first 3 months; then interval treatment: once every 3 months). The check indexes are CT scan and blood tests (including tumor markers, lymphocyte subsets, circulating tumor cell).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Cryosurgery and NK Immunotherapy in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Metastatic, run by Fuda Cancer Hospital, Guangzhou 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Sep 2019. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

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?

Relief degree (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT02843815, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Sep 2019.
