Effect on Patient Reported Outcomes of VATS and SABR (LILAC) (LILAC)

November 2, 2019 updated by: Galina Velikova, University of Leeds

Curative Treatment Modalities of Early Stages Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Effect on Patient Reported Outcomes of Video Assisted Thoracoscopic (VATS) Resection and Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR)

This study will monitor the effect on patients reported outcomes (PROMs) of VATS resection and SABR for NSCLC delivered at the Leeds Cancer Centre The investigator will support with this information the Shared Decision Making (SDM) process.

300 consecutive patients will be followed up from prior the treatment to 12 months afterwards, administering multiple questionnaires (EORTC QLQ C-30 and LC-13, PSQ-18, Decision Self-Efficacy Scale) by a remote web-based system.

Deliverable:

  1. Differences after VATS resections or SABR in terms of physical and psychological symptoms, quality of life and satisfaction
  2. Patient perspectives of the Shared Decision Making Process.

Detailed Description

  1. Methods

    Aim and Objectives

    This study aims to describe the trajectory of lung cancer patients HRQoL, symptoms and functions following VATS or SABR treatment for Stage I-II NSCLC and to determine the feasibility and patient acceptability of online self-reporting of PROMs.

    Specific objectives of the study include:

    • To compare changes before and after treatment of patient reported outcomes (HRQOL and Patient Satisfaction) after VATS lung resections or SABR in early stage lung cancer patients.
    • To correlate clinical outcomes (complications and AEs) with Quality of Life in order to find objective predictors of major decline in patient reported outcomes.
    • To identify specific factors, which have influenced the personal choice between the treatments (Decision Self-Efficacy Scale)
    • Establish recruitment and attrition rates and adherence to PROMs reporting during the study
    • To describe patient choice of electronic vs paper questionnaires
    • To explore implementation issues through patient and staff interview.
  2. Design

This is an observational prospective longitudinal study with repeated measures (PROMs), employing a convenience sample of consecutive patients planned to have VATS resections or SABR for stages I-II of NSCLC. Outcomes measures will be collected prior to treatment and 1,3,6,12 months afterwards, administering the questionnaires by the remote web-based system. Paper administration will be offered to patients without Internet access.

Sample size considerations

Last year 100 pre-surgical quality of life questionnaires have been collected in 5 months from outpatients' clinic at Leeds Cancer Centre (LCC). For longitudinal studies involving regular PROMs, the investigators typically see 70% consent rate and 30-35% attrition over 3 months24. Therefore the investigators expectations are to be able to recruit 200 VATS and 50 SABR patients recruiting over 12 months with 12 months of follow-up.

In order to detect a minimum difference of 10% from the baseline value and standard deviation of the EORTC QLQ-C30 Global Health Scale scale (as measured in our historical cohort of 115 anatomic lung resections), with a alfa level of 0.05 and statistical power of 90%, a sample size of 115 patients in the surgical arm was estimated.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
