Trial summary

European lung cancer screening studies using computed tomography (CT) have shown that a management protocol based on measuring lung nodule volume and volume doubling time (VDT) is more specific for early lung cancer detection than a diameter-based protocol. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Methods of Computed Tomography Screening and Management of Lung Cancer in Tianjin: A Population-based Cohort Study

European lung cancer screening studies using computed tomography (CT) have shown that a management protocol based on measuring lung nodule volume and volume doubling time (VDT) is more specific for early lung cancer detection than a diameter-based protocol. However, whether this also applies to a Chinese population is unclear. The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic performance of a volume-based protocol with a diameter-based protocol for lung cancer detection and optimize the nodule management criteria for a Chinese population.

Read the detailed description

In this population-based study, participants will undergo a low-dose chest CT scan for two rounds. At baseline, the first CT scan will be performed in all participants and their data will be collected. One-year after the baseline, a second CT scan will be performed and data will be collected again. CT images of each participant will be read twice independently by two groups of readers after the baseline and 1-year follow-up scans. In the first reading, the detected lung nodules are evaluated for diameter and managed according to a routine diameter-based protocol. The clinical management of participants are based on the first reading. In the second reading, each scan will be interpreted again by radiologists, blinded to the first reading. Semi-automated volumetry software will be used. The lung nodules will be evaluated for volume and management will be simulated according to a European volume-based protocol. Participants will be followed up and any diagnosis of lung cancer and related information will be collected at the fourth year through the hospital information system and by contacting the participants or their relatives.

What participants receive

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

  • lung cancer screeningOther

    In the first reading, according to the NCCN lung cancer screening guideline, participants with a solid nodule≤ 5 mm in diameter will be referred to undergo follow-up CT 1 year after the baseline. Participants with a solid nodule 6-14 mm will be referred to undergo follow-up thorax CT 3-6 months after the baseline. Participants with a solid nodule ≥ 15 mm will be referred to a multidisciplinary team for clinical investigation.

    The simulated management will be based on the volume of lung nodule and volume doubling time from the second reading, lung nodules will be reclassified according to the reference values from the European volume-based lung nodule management protocol. According to the European volume-based protocol, the solid and part-solid lung nodules will be reclassified into three groups: nodules with a volume < 100 mm3 (negative), nodules with a volume of 100-300 mm3 (indeterminate), and nodules with a volume > 300 mm3 (positive).

Study groups in NCT03992833
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
lung cancer screeningExperimentalParticipants will undergo a chest CT scan in the Department of Radiology at Tianjin Cancer Hospital. All scans will be performed using the same CT system: Definition AS. Two readings of the images will be performed. In the first image reading, the CT images will be read by specially trained Chinese resident radiologist and checked by one of two senior Chinese radiologists. Lung Cancer Screening (version 2. 2018) Guidelines of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) will be used for the management of lung nodules. This guideline recommends management of lung nodules based on diameter. In the second reading, a semi-automated volumetry software will be used to measure the volume and evaluate the other parameters of lung nodules. At baseline and one year after baseline, data about general characteristics, risk factors of lung cancer, and health status of the participants will be collected.

What is being measured

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

  1. number of clinically diagnosed lung cancer

    The number of clinically diagnosed lung cancer will be collected through the hospital information system and by contacting the participants or their relatives using a questionnaire.

    Measured: at the fourth year from baseline

  2. number of lung cancer death

    The number of lung cancer death will be collected through the hospital information system and by contacting the relatives of the participants using a questionnaire.

    Measured: at the fourth year from baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing lung cancer screening in people with Lung Neoplasms and Computed Tomography, run by Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jun 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zhaoxiang Ye, Professor (+8622-23340123, yezhaoxiang@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

number of clinically diagnosed lung cancer (time frame: at the fourth year from baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Jun 2019.
