LIVELUNG - Impact of CGA in Patients Diagnosed With Localized NSCLC Treated With SBRT (LIVELUNG)

June 22, 2023 updated by: Kristian Kirkelund Bentsen, Odense University Hospital

LIVELUNG - Impact of CGA on QoL, Overall Survival and the Need for Admission in Patients Diagnosed With Localized NSCLC Treated With SBRT - a National Randomized Study

Older patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) often die from other causes than lung cancer due to age-related comorbidities. This national randomized study will include 130 patients throughout 5 Danish cancer centres and investigate if a comprehensive geriatric intervention (CGA) when added upfront to SBRT for patients with localized NSCLC will have an impact on quality of life (QoL), overall survival, physical functionality and unplanned hospital admissions.

If an upfront CGA improves patients' general health status, this study could lead to implementation of a CGA in standard clinical practice as well as further research on older patients receiving radiotherapy.

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.

No

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

All patients, able to provide informed consent, aged ≥70 diagnosed with T1-3N0M0 NSCLC considered medically inoperable at a multidisciplinary setting and therefore candidates for SBRT. 130 patients will be included in a period of 24 months.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with cytologically or histologically proven non-small cell lung cancer
  • Stage T1-3N0M0
  • ≥ 70 years old
  • In a multidisciplinary setting the patient is considered medically inoperable, too frail for operation due to age and/or comorbidity or that the patient refuse surgery and therefore candidate for SBRT.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Missing histology/cytology
  • Another current malignancy
  • Higher staging at treatment planning
  • Not able to provide informed consent
  • Do not speak or understand Danish

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
+CGA
Patients randomised to undergo a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA)
Other: Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment
Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is defined as a multidisciplinary diagnostic and treatment process that identifies medical, psychosocial, and functional capabilities of an older adult in order to develop a coordinated plan to maximize overall health with aging.
-CGA
Patients not randomised to undergo a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Quality of Life (EQ-5D)
Time Frame: 12 months
Questionnaire with 5 dimensions each with 5 (1-5) levels representing the health status of the patient and the patients self-rated health status on a scale from 0-100 (EQ VAS). The score of the 5 dimensions can be converted into a single index value 0-1 with higher values indicating poorer health status.
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: 12 months
The time from treatment to death, regardless of disease recurrence
12 months
Quality of Life (EQ-5D)
Time Frame: 3 months
Questionnaire with 5 dimensions each with 5 (1-5) levels representing the health status of the patient and the patients self-rated health status on a scale from 0-100 (EQ VAS). The score of the 5 dimensions can be converted into a single index value 0-1 with higher values indicating poorer health status.
3 months
Quality of Life (EQ-5D)
Time Frame: 6 months
Questionnaire with 5 dimensions each with 5 (1-5) levels representing the health status of the patient and the patients self-rated health status on a scale from 0-100 (EQ VAS). The score of the 5 dimensions can be converted into a single index value 0-1 with higher values indicating poorer health status.
6 months
Quality of Life (EQ-5D)
Time Frame: 9 months
Questionnaire with 5 dimensions each with 5 (1-5) levels representing the health status of the patient and the patients self-rated health status on a scale from 0-100 (EQ VAS). The score of the 5 dimensions can be converted into a single index value 0-1 with higher values indicating poorer health status.
9 months
Hand-grip strength
Time Frame: 12 months
Hand-grip strength measured in kilo using a JAMAR hand dynamometer
12 months
Timed-up-and-go (TUG)
Time Frame: 12 months
TUG consists of timing (seconds) a patient getting up from a chair from the sitting to the bipedal position, walking three meters, turning, returning, and sitting on the chair again
12 months
Chair-stand-test (CST)
Time Frame: 12 months
The CST involves recording the number of "stands" from a chair a person can complete in 30 seconds
12 months
Unplanned Admissions
Time Frame: 12 months
Time to first unplanned admission
12 months
