Brief Summary:
Solid subtype, micropapillary subtype, vascular involvement, pleural involvement and low differentiation are high risk factors of post-operative recurrence for early-stage lung adenocarcinoma patients. The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine whether the widely used adjuvant chemotherapy strategy cisplatin/ pemetrexed is more effective than no further treatment for Stage pI lung adenocarcinoma patients with high post-operative recurrence risk - in terms of no dose related toxicities, premature treatment withdrawal or death.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Lung Neoplasms Drug: cisplatin plus pemetrexed Phase 2 Phase 3

Detailed Description:

Background:

Management of lung cancer varies according to the clinical and pathological stage. For stage I lung adenocarcinoma, radical surgery is the preferred initial treatment and adjuvant chemotherapy is usually not recommended due to a fine prognosis and relatively low post-operative recurrence rate. Still, a number of stage pI patients will suffer a relapse after surgery, among which are highly associated with solid subtype, micropapillary subtype, vascular involvement, pleural involvement and low differentiation. Recently, some retrospective researches have shown a significant survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy for such stage pI high-recurrent-risk patients, but there lacks evidence from prospective randomized clinical trails.

Objective:

  1. Major: to compare disease free survival and over all survival of fully resected stage pI high-recurrent-risk patients from both arms (adjuvant chemotherapy vs. observation)
  2. To assess the safety and efficacy of chemotherapy regimen cisplatin plus pemetrexed to fully resected stage pI high-recurrent-risk patients.
  3. To collect clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis information of stage pI patients with solid subtype, micropapillary subtype, vascular involvement, pleural involvement and low differentiation.
  4. To determine the association among age, gender, smoking history, pathological subtypes, histological differentiation, pleural involvement, vascular involvement and driving mutations.

Randomization:

Each of the patients enrolled will be recorded in the computer system. Blank randomization will be done using a digital randomization software, at least 1 week before the first time of chemotherapy or observation.

Prechemotherapy assessment: For all the patients enrolled, the postoperative physical or laboratory examination should be equally qualified no matter which group they will be in. For Group Adjuvant Chemotherapy patients, they will receive laboratory examinations before chemotherapy to test blood cells and liver function in consideration of safety as routine.

Follow up:

Patients will be followed up per 4 months for the first three years and each six months for the forth to fifth years during the research. Lung multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) and abdominal ultrasonography tests will be done twice a year; bone SPECT scan and enhanced brain MRI scan will be conducted per year routinely. Patients will be suggested to continue the annual follow-up after the research.

Main research variables:

Primary end point: Disease free survival in the two arms

Secondary endpoints:

  1. Overall survival
  2. Recurrence pattern: Locoregional recurrence, metastatic recurrence, or both
  3. Quality of life: assessed with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group- quality of life questionnaire(EORTC QLQ-C30/- LC13) scale.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Recurrence free survival (RFS) [ Time Frame: up to 5 years ]
    from date of randomization until the date of showing signs of relapse, including evidence of medical image or pathology.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: up to 5 years ]
    from date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, withdrawal of consent, or the end of the study.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Recurrence pattern [ Time Frame: up to 5 years ]
    locoregional recurrence, metastatic recurrence, or both.

  2. Quality of life [ Time Frame: up to 5 years ]

    assessed with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-quality of life questionnaire(EORTC QLQ-C30/- LC13) scale.

    Discription of EORTC QLQ-C30/- LC13:

    The full name of the scale is Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group- quality of life questionnaire, including a core scale (EORTC QLQ-C30, version 3.0) and a module specified for lung cancer (EORTC QLQ- LC13). The scale is authorized by Quality of Life Department, EORTC Headquarters (Avenue E Mounier 83 - B11, 1200 Brussels BELGIUM) for scientific research.

    The scale ranges in score from 0 to 100. A higher score represents a a better health status.
