Traditional Chinese Medicine Combined With Thermal and Cold Ablation for Early-stage Lung Cancer

October 27, 2021 updated by: Ming Li, Shanghai 10th People's Hospital

A Prospective Open-Label Randomized Study of Traditional Chinese Medicine Combined With Thermal and Cold Ablation for Early-stage Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related mortality. At present, surgical treatment is the main choice for early-stage lung cancer. Even after surgery, the 5-year recurrence rate is still as high as 18.4%-24%. Traditional Chinese medicine combined with thermal and cold ablation could be an alternative treatment. Small sample clinical cases verified that this therapy could be an efficacy and safe treatment in a short period. The primary aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine combined with thermal and cold ablation for patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: 2 years after ablation
Response were evaluated in this study using the revised international criteria (1.1) proposed by the RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours) committee. BEST RESPONSE from the start of study treatment until the end of treatment were reported. Objective response rate is the sum of CR + PR divided by the total number of patients in each group.
2 years after ablation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
DFS
Time Frame: 2 years after ablation
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.
