Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population will consist of adult patients diagnosed with lung cancer who have developed spinal metastasis. Participants will be selected from individuals treated at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital. Eligible patients must have a diagnosis of lung cancer with spinal metastasis confirmed by pathological examination or imaging studies, and must have undergone surgical intervention for spinal metastasis.

Who may be able to join

  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Pathologically or radiologically confirmed diagnosis of lung cancer with spinal metastasis.
  • Patients with spinal metastasis who underwent surgical intervention.
  • Adequate medical records and follow-up data available.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with spinal metastasis originating from non-lung primary tumors.
  • Patients who did not receive surgical treatment for spinal metastasis.
  • Incomplete clinical data or lost to follow-up.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical features and postoperative survival outcomes between patients with spinal metastasis as the initial manifestation of malignancy and those with spinal metastasis occurring after an established diagnosis of malignancy. By analyzing and contrasting these two groups, we seek to identify any distinctive characteristics, prognostic factors, and potential implications for early detection and treatment strategies in patients with malignant spinal metastases.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT07100444
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Spinal Metastasis as the First Presentation of Lung MalignancyIt refers to patients who first present with symptoms such as pain or spinal cord compression caused by spinal metastasis, leading to the initial detection of bone metastasis, and are subsequently diagnosed with lung cancer.
lung cancer who subsequently developed spinal metastasisIt refers to patients with a history of treatment for primary lung cancer who subsequently developed spinal metastasis during the course of the disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative Overall Survival

    Postoperative overall survival is defined as the time from the date of surgery for spinal metastasis to the date of death from any cause. Patients who are still alive at the last follow-up will be censored at that date. Survival status will be ascertained by clinical follow-up and/or review of medical records.

    Measured: From the date of surgery until death or last follow-up, up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancers and Bone Metastasis, run by Guangdong Provincial 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 3 Aug 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?

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?

Postoperative Overall Survival (time frame: From the date of surgery until death or last follow-up, up to 5 years). 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 3 Aug 2025.
