About this study

Official title: 基于人工智能的视神经鞘超声视频构建肺癌软脑膜转移患者颅内压预测模型及多模态临床预后模型的双中心临床研究

This study focuses on developing an innovative, artificial intelligence-based model using optic nerve sheath ultrasound videos to predict intracranial pressure in lung cancer patients with leptomeningeal metastasis. The study also aims to create a multimodal clinical prognosis model that can help improve patient outcomes. By analyzing ultrasound data from patients at two major medical centres, the research seeks to provide more accurate and early predictions of complications related to elevated intracranial pressure, ultimately improving treatment and management strategies for these patients.

Medical subject headings
Lung Neoplasms, Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, Meningeal Carcinomatosis

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of the Intracranial Pressure (ICP) Prediction Model and Efficacy of the Prognostic Model

    Accuracy of the Intracranial Pressure (ICP) Prediction Model: This involves constructing a prediction model for ICP based on optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and other ultrasound measurements (e.g., optic disk height, ODH). The model's accuracy will be evaluated by comparing the predicted ICP values with those obtained through lumbar puncture, using metrics such as the area under the ROC curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity.

    Efficacy of the Prognostic Model: This model will predict clinical outcomes such as progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) based on multimodal data, including clinical and imaging data. The predictive performance will be assessed using the C-index and other statistical measures to determine its effectiveness in forecasting patient outcomes.

    Measured: Half an hour before the lumbar puncture

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Leptomeningeal Metastasis, run by The Affiliated Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School at 2 sites 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 7 inclusion and 10 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2025. 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 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 Yu (13390799892, cathytina_19820515@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy of the Intracranial Pressure (ICP) Prediction Model and Efficacy of the Prognostic Model (time frame: Half an hour before the lumbar puncture). 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 5 Jun 2025.
