About this study

Official title: Curative Treatment Modalities of Early Stages Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Effect on Patient Reported Outcomes of Video Assisted Thoracoscopic (VATS) Resection and Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR)

This study will monitor the effect on patients reported outcomes (PROMs) of VATS resection and SABR for NSCLC delivered at the Leeds Cancer Centre The investigator will support with this information the Shared Decision Making (SDM) process.

300 consecutive patients will be followed up from prior the treatment to 12 months afterwards, administering multiple questionnaires (EORTC QLQ C-30 and LC-13, PSQ-18, Decision Self-Efficacy Scale) by a remote web-based system.

Deliverable:

  1. Differences after VATS resections or SABR in terms of physical and psychological symptoms, quality of life and satisfaction
  2. Patient perspectives of the Shared Decision Making Process.
Read the detailed description
  1. Methods Aim and Objectives This study aims to describe the trajectory of lung cancer patients HRQoL, symptoms and functions following VATS or SABR treatment for Stage I-II NSCLC and to determine the feasibility and patient acceptability of online self-reporting of PROMs. Specific objectives of the study include:
  • To compare changes before and after treatment of patient reported outcomes (HRQOL and Patient Satisfaction) after VATS lung resections or SABR in early stage lung cancer patients.
  • To correlate clinical outcomes (complications and AEs) with Quality of Life in order to find objective predictors of major decline in patient reported outcomes.
  • To identify specific factors, which have influenced the personal choice between the treatments (Decision Self-Efficacy Scale)
  • Establish recruitment and attrition rates and adherence to PROMs reporting during the study
  • To describe patient choice of electronic vs paper questionnaires
  • To explore implementation issues through patient and staff interview.
  1. Design

This is an observational prospective longitudinal study with repeated measures (PROMs), employing a convenience sample of consecutive patients planned to have VATS resections or SABR for stages I-II of NSCLC. Outcomes measures will be collected prior to treatment and 1,3,6,12 months afterwards, administering the questionnaires by the remote web-based system. Paper administration will be offered to patients without Internet access.

Sample size considerations

Last year 100 pre-surgical quality of life questionnaires have been collected in 5 months from outpatients' clinic at Leeds Cancer Centre (LCC). For longitudinal studies involving regular PROMs, the investigators typically see 70% consent rate and 30-35% attrition over 3 months24. Therefore the investigators expectations are to be able to recruit 200 VATS and 50 SABR patients recruiting over 12 months with 12 months of follow-up.

In order to detect a minimum difference of 10% from the baseline value and standard deviation of the EORTC QLQ-C30 Global Health Scale scale (as measured in our historical cohort of 115 anatomic lung resections), with a alfa level of 0.05 and statistical power of 90%, a sample size of 115 patients in the surgical arm was estimated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by University of Leeds.

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 6 inclusion and 2 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 5 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Patients Reported Outcomes (time frame: 12 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 NCT02882750, 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 5 Nov 2019.
