Radiofrequency Ablation Combined With Melatonin in the Treatment of Stage IA NSCLC

August 25, 2020 updated by: Ming Li, Shanghai 10th People's Hospital

A Prospective, Double-blind, Randomized Controlled Study of Radiofrequency Ablation Combined With Melatonin in the Treatment of Stage IA NSCLC

Based on the recommendations of the guidelines, as well as the previous animal studies and clinical studies of our team, we designed and carried out prospective, randomized controlled, double-blind clinical studies to further expand the sample size to verify the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation combined with melatonin in the treatment of stage IA NSCLC. It is hoped that this combined treatment plan can delay the recurrence of lung cancer after RFA and prolong the survival time of patients.

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

To verify the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation combined with melatonin in the treatment of stage IA non-small cell lung cancer, and explore new directions for the prevention and treatment of early stage non-small cell lung cancer.

OUTLINE:

This is a Prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled study. Using the same admission criteria, it is planned to enroll 260 patients, who will be randomly assigned 1:1. The experimental group: radiofrequency ablation combined with melatonin, and the control group: radiofrequency ablation combined with placebo.

Intervention group: Radiofrequency ablation was performed immediately after enrollment, and melatonin treatment was given for 6 months after 1 week after radiofrequency.

Control group: Radiofrequency ablation was performed immediately after enrollment, and a placebo treatment program was given for 6 months after 1 week after radiofrequency.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
overall survival rate，OS
Time Frame: 2 years
From the beginning of randomization to the time of death due to any reason (patients who are lost to follow-up are the time of the last follow-up; patients who are still alive at the end of the study are the end of follow-up), when the survival curve reaches 2 years, the survival rate of patients.
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
DFS
Time Frame: 2 years
The time interval from the first medication to the observation of recurrence or metastasis, or death from any cause (calculated based on the previous event). Patients who have not relapsed, metastasized or died at the time of the data cutoff, and those who were lost to follow-up in the study will be counted on the date of their last tumor evaluation.
