Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Low-frequency Rotating Magnetic Therapy System is effective and safe in the treatment of advanced lung cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the Low-frequency Rotating Magnetic Therapy System(with systemic anti-tumor therapy) compared to systemic anti-tumor therapy in patients suffering from advanced lung cancer.

Sham control

Subjects will receive one cycle of treatment of sham low-frequency rotating magnetic therapy system plus systemic anti-tumor therapy after randomization

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Systemic anti-tumor therapy

Intervention Type DRUG

Systemic anti-tumor therapy includes targeted therapies, chemotherapy and best supportive care, according to NCCN non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer(SCLC) guidelines. SCLC patients will receive six cycles of cisplatin and etoposide. NSCLC patients will receive EGFR and ALK test. With sensitive result the first-line therapy will be Erlotinib/Gefitinib/Crizotinib. If insensitive, the patient will receive six cycles of cisplatin and pemetrexed. Then the patient will receive tumor response evaluation. The patient with response or stable disease will receive maintenance therapy with one or some of the drugs including bevacizumab, pemetrexed, gemcitabine and docetaxel until disease progression. During experience all patients will receive clinical observation. Once proven for disease progression the patient will finish the experiment.

Sham Low-frequency Rotating Magnetic Therapy System

Intervention Type DEVICE

Sham Low-frequency Rotating Magnetic Therapy System is a similar apparatus except that there were two rotating iron plates instead of magnets, thus lacking a magnetic field.

Low-frequency Rotating Magnetic Therapy

Subjects will receive one cycle of treatment of low-frequency rotating magnetic therapy system plus systemic anti-tumor therapy after randomization

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Low-frequency Rotating Magnetic Therapy System

Intervention Type DEVICE

Two pairs of fan-shaped NdFeB permanent magnets were attached to a circular iron plate and arranged to establish magnetic field. The bottom two magnets rotated at certain frequency driven by a step motor, which was controlled using a functional signal generator. The top two magnets rotated synchronously due to the strong magnetic interaction. Magnetic flux density was measured at the target site using a gauss meter. The entire magnetic apparatus was located in a hood with humidity and temperature controller.

Systemic anti-tumor therapy

Intervention Type DRUG

Systemic anti-tumor therapy includes targeted therapies, chemotherapy and best supportive care, according to NCCN non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer(SCLC) guidelines. SCLC patients will receive six cycles of cisplatin and etoposide. NSCLC patients will receive EGFR and ALK test. With sensitive result the first-line therapy will be Erlotinib/Gefitinib/Crizotinib.

During experience all patients will receive clinical observation. Once proven for disease progression the patient will finish the experiment.
