ClinicaliQ Trial Snapshot
  • JoLT-Ca Sublobar Resection (SR) Versus Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SAbR) for Lung Cancer — Recruiting • Phase III • Oncology • NCT02468024.
  • What is being tested: A comparison of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SAbR) versus surgical sublobar resection (SR) to determine which approach provides superior survival outcomes in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • Patient eligibility overview: High-risk operable patients with Stage I NSCLC who are deemed suitable candidates for both treatment modalities; this typically includes elderly patients, those with compromised pulmonary function, or those with significant comorbidities who would not tolerate lobectomy.

What This Trial Is Studying

To Determine if SAbR improves survival over SR in High Risk Operable Stage I NSCLC

Eligibility Snapshot
  • 0 Inclusion Criteria 1.1 Age > 18 years. 1.2 ECOG/Zubrod performance status (PS) 0, 1, or 2 (reference Appendix C). 1.3 Radiographic findings consistent with non-small cell lung cancer, including lesions with ground glass opacities with a solid component of 50% or greater. 1.4 The primary tumor in the lung must be biopsy confirmed non-small cell lung cancer within 180 days prior to randomization. 1.5 Tumor ≤ 4 cm maximum diameter, including clinical stage IA and selected IB by PET or PET integrated with a simultaneous CT scan (PET-CT) of the chest and upper abdomen performed within 180 days prior to randomization (reference Appendix A & B). Repeat imaging within 90 days prior to randomization is recommended for re-staging but is not required based on institutional norms. 1.6 All clinically suspicious mediastinal N1, N2, or N3 lymph nodes (> 1 cm short-axis dimension on CT scan and/or positive on PET scan) confirmed negative for involvement with NSCLC by one of the following methods: mediastinoscopy, anterior mediastinotomy, EUS/EBUS guided needle aspiration, CT-guided, video-assisted thoracoscopic or open lymph node biopsy within 180 days of randomization. 1.7 Tumor verified by a thoracic surgeon to be in a location that will permit sublobar resection.…
