About this study

Official title: The Associations of Sleep Disturbance With Therapy Efficacy and Prognosis of Lung Cancer, Including Non-small-cell Lung Cancer and Small-cell Lung Cancer With Early and Advanced Staging

This is the prospective, observational cohort study (Nezha) to explore the associations of sleep disturbance with progression, efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and prognosis of Lung Cancer. The participants including the patients diagnosed with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received either first-line therapy (ICIs or targeted agents) or neoadjuvant therapy with ICIs; patients diagnosed with advanced small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) receiving the first-line therapy ICIs; patients diagnosed with early non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving surgery.

Read the detailed description

This is the prospective, observational cohort study (Nezha) to explore the associations of sleep disturbance with progression, efficacy of ICIs and prognosis of Lung Cancer. This study will have 5 cohorts

  • Cohort 1: A prospective, observational cohort study to explore the association between sleep disturbance and the efficacy of first-line treatment of ICIs in advanced NSCLC.
  • Cohort 2: A prospective, observational cohort study to explore the association between sleep disturbance and the efficacy of first-line treatment of limited-stage and extensive-stage SCLC.
  • Cohort 3: A prospective, observational cohort study to explore the association between sleep disturbance and the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy of ICIs in resectable NSCLC.
  • Cohort 4: A prospective, observational cohort study to explore the association of sleep disturbance with postoperative recurrence and prognosis in early-stage NSCLC receiving radical surgery.
  • Cohort 5: A prospective observational cohort study to explore the association between sleep disturbance and the efficacy of first-line treatment of targeted therapy in advanced NSCLC.

What participants receive

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

  • Exposure: sleep disturbance statusOther

    The assessment of sleep disturbance was conducted using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Patients with a PSQI score > 5 or an ISI score > 7 were categorized as sleep disturbance patients.

    The assessment of chronotype was conducted using reduced Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (rMEQ). Patients with an rMEQ score 18-25 were categorized as the morning type, those with an rMEQ score 12-17 as the intermediate type, and those with an rMEQ score 4-11 as the evening type.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cohort 1 & 5: Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Time from the beginning of first-line immunotherapy or targeted therapy to the first progression (PD).

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Cohort 2: Overall survival (OS)

    Duration from the beginning of first-line immunotherapy until death due to any cause. Subjects who are still alive at the end of the study observation period will be censored at the time of last known vital status.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Cohort 3: Event-free survival (EFS)

    Time from the start of initial treatment of immunotherapy to the occurrence of any event, including disease progression, discontinuation of treatment for any reason, or death.

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Cohort 4: Disease-free survival (DFS)

    Duration between the date after surgery to the date of any recurrence or death firstly.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Cohort 2: Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Time from the beginning of first-line immunotherapy to the first progression (PD).

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Cohort 1 & 3 & 4 & 5: Overall survival (OS)

    Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the duration from the start of initial treatment (systemic treatment or radical therapy) until death from any cause. Subjects who are still alive at the end of the study observation period will be censored at the time of last known vital status.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Quality of life (QoL)

    Quality of life (QoL) is assessed longitude by EORTC QLQ-C30 (version.3). The EORTC QLQ-C30 is composed of 9 multi-item scales: 5 functioning scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), a global QOL scale, and 3 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea/vomiting). All scales and single items are linearly transformed to an 0-100 scale. A higher score represents a better level of functioning.

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Cohort 1 & 2 & 5: Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    The proportion of patients with a complete response or partial response to treatment according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1)

    Measured: 2 years

  5. Cohort 3: Pathologic complete response (pCR) rate

    pCR is no viable tumor cells in tumor bed and lymph nodes. The pCR rate is the proportion of patients with a pathologic complete response.

    Measured: 3 years

  6. Cohort 3: Major pathologic response (MPR)

    MPR refers to the percentage of surviving tumor cells in the tumor bed after neoadjuvant therapy ≤10%, regardless of whether there are surviving tumor cells in the lymph nodes.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Sleep Disturbance, run by Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University 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 40 inclusion and 35 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2025. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Fang Wu, MD. PhD (+86 13574858332, wufang4461@csu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cohort 1 & 5: Progression-free survival (PFS) (time frame: 3 years). 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.

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 16 May 2025.
