Study summary

This is a Prospective, open-label, parallel, multi-center, Phase III randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of video-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy versus Lobectomy in treating patients with Lung adenocarcinoma in situ or with microinvasion.

Read the detailed description

Lobectomy has long been considered the standard procedure for early-stage lung cancer, and minimally invasive techniques have been demonstrated to be associated with superior outcomes compared with lobectomy by thoracotomy. the us of segmentectomy is under investigation for selected patients with small tumors, and the use of minimally invasive strategies is applicable as well.

This nationwide, multicenter, prospective, randomized open phase III study of cVATS (complete Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) segmentectomy versus Lobectomy for stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with Lung adenocarcinoma in situ or with microinvasion, is aiming to evaluate the relapse free survival and 5 year overall survival (OS) rate of two types of surgery. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients undergo cVATS lobectomy.
  • Arm II: Patients undergo cVATS segmentectomy.

Patients will be followed up every 3 months within the first year, and annually for 5 years postoperatively.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Relapse-free survival

    Compare the relapse-free survival (RFS) of patients with lung adenocarcinoma in situ or microinvasion undergoing cVATS segmentectomy vs lobectomy.

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented relapse or metastasis, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. 5-year survival rate

    Compare the 5-year survival rate of patients undergoing cVATS segmentectomy vs lobectomy

    Time frame: participants are followed until death or up to 5 years

  2. postoperative complication

    Compare the postoperative complication rate of patients undergoing cVATS segmentectomy vs lobectomy

    Time frame: 0 to 3 months postoperatively

  3. pulmonary function

    to evaluate the pulmonary function as measured by expiratory flow rate of the two groups 6 months postoperatively

    Time frame: 6 months after surgery

  4. Quality of Life

    To evaluate the quality of life (QoL) of these patients, as measured by questionnaire of FACT-L (4th edition) and LCSS (Lung Cancer Symptom Scale)

    Time frame: 0 to 6 months postoperative
