About this study

This study compares the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of radiologists, thoracic surgeons and a predictive model (PKUM model) to discriminate malignancy from benign nodules in patients with multiple pulmonary nodules.

Read the detailed description

It is clinically difficult to diagnose and manage patients with multiple pulmonary nodules (MPNs). We have developed a web-based mathematic model (PKUM model) by using a multi-centric database from three institutions (Peking University People's Hospital, Haidian Section of Peking University Third Hospital, People's Hospital Affiliated to Hebei Medical University) to predict the probability of a nodule to be malignant in patients with MPNs. This prospectively observational study will recruit patients with MPNs between January 2019 and March 2019, allowing radiologists, surgeons, and a predictive model (PKUM model) to discriminate malignancy from benign nodules, and compare their sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Performance of PKUM model

    Area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of PKUM model in predicting the probability of a nodule to be malignant in patients with multiple pulmonary nodules.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Comparison between PKUM model and clinicians

    Comparison of sensitivity and specificity of radiologists, thoracic surgeons, and PKUM model in predicting the probability of a nodule to be malignant in patients with multiple pulmonary nodules.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Performance of PKUM model in equivocal nodules which is difficult to judge by clinicians

    Sensitivity and specificity of PKUM model in predicting malignant probability of equivocal nodules judged by radiologists and thoracic surgeons.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Pulmonary Nodules, run by Peking University People's Hospital 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 28 Aug 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.

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?

Performance of PKUM model (time frame: 3 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 28 Aug 2019.
