About this study

Official title: The Value of Endobronchial Cryotherapy in the Management of Malignant Endobronchial Obstruction in Patients With Inoperable NSCLC: A Prospective Analysis of Clinical and Survival Outcomes

Background: In end-stage patients when all management options have been used, will often develop compromise of their airways as the cancer continues to progress. Endobronchial therapy options may help to relieve some of their symptoms, allowing improvement in their shortness of breath as they go home in combination with other palliative therapies.

Objective: to compare the safety ; efficacy; and clinical outcome of endobronchial cryotherapy combined with chemotherapy and/ or radiotherapy versus chemo-radiotherapy alone on patients with Non small cell lung cancer.

Patients and method(s): A prospective randomized clinical trial was carried out on 60 patients with different ages of both sexes, diagnosed as bronchogenic carcinoma non-small cell lung cancer type (NSCLC) . The patients attended the hospital in the chest department, Qena Faculty of Medicine, South Valley University. Assessment of the patients was done and randomly assigned into two groups. Group1 ,Include 30 patients subjected to chemotherapy , radiotherapy and endobronchial cryotherapy.Group 2 , Include include 30 patients subjected to chemotherapy and radiotherapy alone.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the clinical changes of the cases after procedure.

    Evaluation of the rate of symptoms relief after therapy

    Measured: the symptoms were evaluated before therapy as a baseline; and evaluated 4 weeks after procedure.

  2. Respiratory function test evaluation

    Spirometry was done (FEV1 in %, FVC in %, FEV1/FVC in %).

    Measured: Change from Baseline Spirometry done before management, was compared with that was done at 4 weeks after management.

  3. Assessment of the overall survival

    Assessment of the overall survival was done by Kaplan-Meier method

    Measured: The overall survival was measured by the percentage of patients who still alive for 12 months after they were started the management.

  4. Assessment of the performance status

    It was performed using the mean Karnofsky performance score

    Measured: The mean Karnofsky performance score was done before treatment as a baseline; and 4 weeks after treatment.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Arterial blood gases evaluation

    It included; Mean So2 (mm Hg), Mean PaO2 (mmHg), Mean PaCo2 (mm Hg).

    Measured: Arterial blood gases was done before treatment as a baseline; and 4 weeks after treatment.

  2. Six minute walk distance test

    Six minute walk distance test was measured in minutes

    Measured: Six minute walk test was done before treatment as a baseline; and 4 weeks after treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cryotherapy in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and Non-Small Cell Carcinoma of Lung, TNM Stage 4, run by Mohamed Abdel Bary Ahmed Ibrahim.

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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Evaluation of the clinical changes of the cases after procedure. (time frame: the symptoms were evaluated before therapy as a baseline; and evaluated 4 weeks after procedure.). The study lists 4 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.
