About this study

To evaluate the correlation between pre-surgical 4DCT-ventilation imaging and post-surgical lung function.

Read the detailed description

To evaluate the correlation between pre-surgical 4-Dimensional Computed Tomography-ventilation (4DCT-ventilation) imaging and post-surgical lung function. To determine whether 4DCT-ventilation is a better predictor of post-surgical lung function than nuclear medicine imaging using pulmonary function tests (PFTs). To determine whether 4DCT-ventilation is a better predictor of post-surgical lung function than nuclear medicine imaging using quality of life (QOL) questionnaires. Evaluate cost-effectiveness of using 4DCT-ventialtion and VQ scans for pre-surgical assessment. To use longitudinal (pre and post-surgical) 4DCT-ventilation imaging to derive novel post-surgical prediction formulas.

What participants receive

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

  • 4DCT-VentilationDiagnostic test

    4DCT-ventilation is an imaging modality that provides superior image quality, reduced cost, and a faster imaging procedure compared to nuclear medicine VQ scans.

Study groups in NCT03426306
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
4DCT-ventilationExperimentalThe patient will undergo 4DCT imaging. The 4DCT imaging data along with image processing techniques will be used to generate a 4DCT-ventilation map. All surgical decisions will be based on the current standard of care imaging (VQ scans) and not on the 4DCT imaging results.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: 4DCT-Ventilation

What is being measured

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

  1. Pre-Surgical Imaging and Post-Surgical Lung Function

    Measure the correlation between pre-surgical 4-Dimensional Computed Tomography-ventilation (4DCT) imaging and post surgical lung function using a Percent Predicted Post-Operative Pulmonary Function Test (%PPO PFT).

    Measured: Baseline visit to follow up visit, up to 9 months.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Ability of %PPO PFTs

    Use %PPO PFTs to determine if 4DCT-ventilation is a better predictor of post surgical lung function than nuclear medicine imaging

    Measured: Start of study to end of study, up to 2 years

  2. Quality of Life (QOL)

    Use QOL questionnaires to determine if 4DCT-ventilation is a better predictor of post surgical lung function than nuclear medicine imaging.

    Measured: Start of study to end of study, up to 2 years

  3. Cost-Effectiveness

    Determine the cost-effectiveness of 4DCT-ventialtion and VQ scans for pre-surgical assessment using Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) analysis.

    Measured: Start of study to end of study, up to 2 years

  4. Longitudinal Imaging Changes

    Derive novel post-surgical prediction formulas using longitudinal 4DCT-ventilation imaging

    Measured: Start of study to end of study, up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 4DCT-Ventilation in people with Lung Cancer, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 2 sites in United States.

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 1 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 19 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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?

Pre-Surgical Imaging and Post-Surgical Lung Function (time frame: Baseline visit to follow up visit, up to 9 months.). 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 19 Sep 2024.
