Trial Outcomes & Findings for Randomized Study to Compare CyberKnife to Surgical Resection In Stage I Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NCT NCT00840749)

NCT ID: NCT00840749

Last Updated: 2020-07-14

Results Overview

The study power was calculated for sample size of 420 patients, enrolled over 7 years. The actual enrollment was 36 patients over 4 years. The study was therefore terminated due to lack of enrollment. The sample size does not allow to analysis of the primary outcome. While the study data is not mature enough to evaluate the endpoints of the study, we will attempt to describe the results gleaned from the existing patient population.

Measure
CyberKnife Stereotactic Radiotherapy
CyberKnife Stereotactic Radiotherapy: Central lesion dose/fractionation: 15 Gy x 4 fractions = 60 Gy; Peripheral lesion dose/fractionation: 20 Gy x 3 fractions = 60 Gy
Surgery
Surgery: Both open thoracotomy and video assisted thoracotomy (VATS) are acceptable procedures. Surgery may consist of a lobectomy, sleeve resection, bilobectomy or pneumonectomy as determined by the attending surgeon based on the operative findings

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 years

Population: At the time of study closure, 20 patients were treated on the CyberKnife arm and 16 on the Surgery arm. Two deaths were captured on the Surgery arm during the course of the study and one patient enrolled on the CyberKnife arm passed away before being treated with CyberKnife.

The study power was calculated for sample size of 420 patients, enrolled over 7 years. The actual enrollment was 36 patients over 4 years. The study was therefore terminated due to lack of enrollment. The sample size does not allow to analysis of the primary outcome. While the study data is not mature enough to evaluate the endpoints of the study, we will attempt to describe the results gleaned from the existing patient population.

POST_HOC outcome

Timeframe: 3 years

Population: No patients randomized in either treatment arm made it to 3 years follow-up. No further data was collected or will be collected on the patient population.

While the study data is not mature enough to evaluate the endpoints of the study, we will attempt to describe the results gleaned from the existing patient population.
