Brief Summary

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

This is a study from Eastern Cooperative Thoracic Oncology Project, numbered as ECTOP-1009. Systematically mediastinal lymph node dissection or not in clinical stage T1 ground-glass dominated invasive lung adenocarcinoma: a multi-center, prospective clinical trial

Detailed Description

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

Following interim analysis of 302 patients revealed no lymph node metastasis in either study arm and 100% 2-year disease-free survival in both arms. The selective non-mediastinal lymph node dissection (non-SLND) arm had reduced complications (JCO 2025; doi:10.1200/JCO-25-00610). The study design has been amended to a single-arm prospective cohort. All enrolled patients meeting inclusion criteria will sign informed consent and receive non-SLND. The primary endpoint remains 3-year disease-free survival (DFS).

The sample size has been recalibrated to 545 patients based on historical control 3-year DFS of 96.6%, a stricter non-inferiority margin of 2.5%, 90% power, and the 1-sided alpha of 2.5%.
